Rehearsal Dinner

In a smart move that avoided the complications that come with laying carpet over stairs—especially on a snowy night in New York—the event's producers projected a strip of red light over the library's front steps, effectively creating a virtual red carpet that led to the entrance. Hundreds of LED candles sat on either side of the illuminated pathway.

As a subtle way to decorate the ceiling of Astor Hall, Bentley Meeker projected imagery of the night sky, with slow-moving clouds.

Sculptural floral arrangements from McNabb Roick decorated the tops of candelabra, giving the tabletops a romantic feel.
