Philippa and Daniel were engaged in NYC, so choosing to elope there was a no-brainer. They spent part of their big day wandering the picturesque streets of Brooklyn, making for some epic wedding photos. They kept their elopement simple, and true to themselves, and couldn’t have been happier with the result.

“We made the best possible decision and we wouldn’t change a thing!” says Philippa.

A big thank you to Danila Mednikov for sharing this lovely wedding with us.

Philippa, 30 & Daniel, 31

Location: NYC

Wedding Date: June 20, 2017

Number of Guests: 5 and a baby

Wedding Cost: ~$10,000 (wedding and travel costs)

Wedding Ceremony Location: Cop Cot, Central Park

Wedding Reception Location: STK

Why did you have an intimate wedding?

Because we felt the most important thing was us. And we wanted the wedding to be in a location we loved (we got engaged in NYC in 2014) whether our chosen guests could make it or not. It was the best decision we could have ever made!

What are some the challenges that you faced planning an intimate wedding?

Probably choosing a reception venue as there were so few guests; 90% of venues catered for a larger group of people.

Was it difficult to pare down the guest list?

No, we wanted only close family and we understood if they were unable to attend. In the grand scheme of things, our guest list was the least of our priorities.

Did you have any ‘issues’ with the small guest list from friends and family?If so, how did you address them?

Yes, certain family members refused to come, but we knew that we could possibly encounter that problem when we made our decision to marry in NYC. At the end of the day, it’s our wedding day and we did what was right for us.

‘

What were the highlights of the ceremony?

The location! It was quiet, peaceful and romantic. And no one fluffed their lines.

What were the highlights of the reception?

Again the location. We sat on the roof top bar, enjoying our meal with close family watching the sunset.

What was the best thing about having an intimate wedding?

It doesn’t feel as stressful as a larger wedding, where one has to decide who to invite, where to seat them, and whether or not the venue is big enough. I had no worries planning the wedding or any concerns on the day! It was perfect!

What advice do you have for couples who are considering an intimate wedding?

Do what’s best for you. It’s your wedding day! We have no regrets even though certain people were unable to attend. We made the best possible decision and we wouldn’t change a thing.

Photographer: Danila Mednikov

Dress: Grace Loves Lace

Ring fads come and go, but solitaire rings never go away. They offer a classic, timeless look, and vary enough in style that you can find one that is truly unique. While we’d love to include every gorgeous gem that catches our eyes, we’ve narrowed this list down to ten stunning picks. The only challenge now is choosing just one!

According to the seller, onegarnetgirl, this moissanite rose gold ring is created in a way that it reflects light in all directions. In other words, this ring will truly shine!

This gold gemstone ring from MelissaTysonDesigns is conflict free, so you’ll have no qualms about showing it off!

For a ring that will look stunning with your outfit whether it is worn to a cocktail party or a family dinner, we suggest this solid gold and diamond wedding ring from EnveroJewelry.

Isn’t this a stunner! All of your girls will be fawning over this rose gold and diamond ring from aardvarkjewellery.

While choosing a ring is a big, thought-out decision, seeing this morganite ring from onegarnetgirl will make you want to purchase it right this second!

The intense, natural beauty of raw diamonds never ceases to grab our attention! This raw diamond ring from ASecondTime is budget-friendly, conflict free, and beautiful!

Another upside to raw diamonds is that every stone is one-of-a-kind, just like you are. We love the contrast of the radiant gold band and stormy diamond on this 14k gold ring from ASecondTime.

This diamond ring from BestBrilliance speaks for itself. Holy swoon!

If you’re an environmentally conscious person, that should translate to the purchase of your wedding ring. After all, it makes a big statement about you. So, give in! This moissanite ring from onegarnetgirl is calling your name!
