Cranes at the Pop-Up Weddings

[ June 27, 2009 ] admin

The Crane Chandelier Project, it would seem, has become popular with the couples at the Brooklyn Pop-Up Wedding Series!

A 'crane' cake from Friday's wedding at the pop-up chapel

Tonight, a couple was married who loved them so much, they used them as their cake toppers and yesterday, Leah and Michael, who won their wedding at the Martha Stewart Weddings’ Pop-Up Chapel, were photographed signing their crane (which we hope is making its way to Toronto in the next week or so!) Michael also took the time in his speech at their reception to mention the project.

Wow!

Leah and Michael sign their crane together

Ruth Heronemus runs Street Attack in New York, the marketing company that bought the gallery space at 303 Grand and turned it into a revolving storefront, put the entire pop-up wedding series/shop/chapel together at the space and has been at every pop-up wedding at the chapel. Not only did she email me when Michael mentioned our project, but she also wrote that it started a ripple effect and every engaged couple in the room was keen to sign their own!

The Final Product: "Leah and Michael, Brooklyn, NY"

Coverage of The Pop-Up Wedding Continues

[ June 26, 2009 ] admin

The Pop-Up Wedding at the Brooklyn Chapel was covered by many of the major media outlets in New York City. The Wedding Co. was thrilled to be a sponsor of the event and it turns out Michael and Leah were pretty excited about our Crane Chandelier Project – it being one of the topics Micheal brought up in his thank-you speech.

We’ll have a selection of their wedding photos up in the next few days along with a full interview with the bride – Michael and Leah are now on their way to an all expenses paid honeymoon, something they hadn’t been able to afford after their first wedding in Victoria, BC as both of them had lost their jobs in the poor economy.

Leah and Michael's Invitation

[ June 26, 2009 ] admin

Paraphrased from a longer post by Vané Broussard, the BrooklynBride on The Bride’s Guide – Ideas from the Editors of Martha Stewart Weddings.

The ladies at Ice Cream Social created this invitation for Leah and Micheal’s wedding yesterday at the Brooklyn Pop-Up Wedding Chapel. Jenn and Mary also designed the logo for the Pop-Up Wedding Series at the chapel (303Grand, Brooklyn).

You’d never know it was a last minute affair based on the great design. The invitation was inspired by the current issue of Martha Stewart Weddings that features a wedding by a paper-loving stationer and designed to match the feel and look of the Pop-Up Chapel: “We were inspired by all the charming paper decorations MSW brought in for the wedding chapel decor. They lent themselves beautifully as inspiration for the graphic shapes we created as a border. We coupled that with a little Brooklyn flair— taken from the Pop-Up Wedding Chapel logo we made and designed— which made for the perfect combo, and in the end, a lovely and unique invitation for the winning couple.”

Since time was of the essence, instead of printing out the invitations and mailing them to guests, the invite was uploaded to Pingg and sent electronically! Not only quick, but eco-friendly too!
