Denise and Steve transformed the traditional rehearsal dinner of yore into a party full of laughter and love. Check out the details of what made their rehearsal dinner a hit in this blog.
Let’s start with the location. Denise and Steve are blessed with a very special apartment on the upper west side. Most notably, they have a rooftop terrace which is currently in full bloom. The couple have cultivated a bounty of plants, including herbs and the cutest little cherry tomatoes. (I didn’t even realize I had taken a photo of a heart-shaped tomato until I started editing the photos.) Denise put the garden to good use and plucked flowers from her own garden to use in her bouquet (see the photo of her bouquet chillin’ in the refrigerator).
The guest count for the evening was approximately 30, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. The food for the party was provided by Red Farm, a very modern Chinese restaurant conveniently located right below their apartment. All Steve and Denise had to do was simply bring dinner up in the elevator. Everything was self-serve, and homemade champagne punch was the official party beverage.
This laid-back party was a great way for family and friends to get to know one another, and a terrific sign of things to come for Denise and Steve’s wedding. I’ll have those photos later this week!
