Happy to finally share our ceremony photographs from Sicily. Lacie and I exchanged vows in the early morning light, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea at Grotta delle Colombe, an intimate and secluded setting that felt entirely our own. We always knew we wanted to elope, and being able to get ready together in such a beautiful location made all the difference. Lacie was breathtaking in @daniellefrankelstudio , framed by the water and the quiet stillness of the coast. I created her bouquet with the intention of mirroring the cascading lines and barely there structure of her gown- designing it to feel equally weightless, as though it were softly floating rather than being held. We were deeply grateful to work alongside two of our longtime favorites, photographer @giusmarano and videographer @diegonapoleonefilms . We will be sharing more details with you over the next few days. Thankful for the love, warmth, and beautiful sentiments, shared with us as we begin this new adventure together.

Head to our highlights to see more of this dramatic Manhattan wedding at The Pool and The Grill, including a magnificent transition from ceremony to dinner. @sheanstrong and @timkmetal collaborated to design a sculptural floral installation emerging from The Pool’s center to highlight the height of the space and complement the iconic hanging bronze art installations throughout The Grill.

Kevin & Brian’s wedding celebration at Manhattan’s iconic The Pool and The Grill. They were inspired by the Seagram building’s architecture designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the restaurant designed by Philip Johnson, two of the biggest figures in modernist architecture and design. They wanted the sleek architecture of the venue and the surrounding artwork to speak for itself while enhancing the space with simplistic ikebana driven floral design. As guests made their way to the dance floor, Artie Shaw’s “Begin The Beguine” played for Kevin and Brian’s special joint Mother Son dance.

In the heart of the Cotswolds rests a monumental copper-domed Mughal Indian palace: Sezincote House. It became our sanctuary, where designers from across the world gathered to create, to learn, and to be moved by the beauty of flowers. Tables brimmed with radishes, cabbage, leeks, artichokes, and clusters of translucent currants, mingling with fresh fennel, dahlias, and garden roses at their peak. Aged terracotta pots and weathered stoneware gave weight and grounding, as we were honored with compotes shared by @Gaiavessels . The workshop invited each of us to bring our own voice to the table. With flowers in hand, we shaped centerpieces that carried our distinct touch, textures, forms, and gestures that felt wholly ours… yet when gathered back together, they sang in a chorus; harmonious and complete. As we wandered the estate, we discovered an ancient dairy, where a rare, forgotten fountain revealed herself. There, in that quiet place, she became the heart of our collective installation. An echo of time holding space for our shared creation. The true wonder of the workshop was found in the color story that bound us. Individual artistry, born from different perspectives, wove together into something larger than any one of us. In the installation you’ll see the interplay of the attendees’ centerpieces with our vessels, the blooms, and the shifting light. Jess and Jen, thank you for curating such a space of beauty and belonging. Megan, @wild_fern_photography , thank you for capturing each moment with such grace. To every vendor who gave their hands and hearts, and above all, to the attendees who offered their time, their resources, and their trust- you are the soul of this gathering. Already, the next course begins to take shape, and I hope you will design beside me on the next adventure.

“Autumn, to me, is the most beautiful season because it doesn’t just mark change, it embodies it. Spring brings growth. Summer invites celebration. Winter draws us inward. But fall is about transformation. It is a time when colors desaturate and deepen as they fade, textures become more pronounced, and the air takes on a sharper edge. Vines that once bore fruit begin to harden, conserving their strength for what lies ahead. There is a quiet clarity in this season, a moment to reflect, to reset, and to prepare. Autumn reminds us that change is not only inevitable, but also essential. It is the beginning of something new, disguised as an ending.” -Shean Strong of SHEAN STRONG DESIGN
