Have you ever met someone who was so overwhelmingly cool that you just gravitated towards them? Well, that is exactly who Kristen and Evan are, and their City Winery wedding in Hudson Valley mirrored them perfectly!

To understand the joviality behind the elements of Kristen and Evan’s wedding, you must first understand them. Sneak peek: you’ll see disco balls, pizza, a band that would make you take your jacket off and wave it around your head, and just the right pops of color that make you rethink your whole wardrobe. Admittedly, I do that already, as Kristen is an incredible shoe designer. Check out some of her work, which she donned throughout her entire weekend — you’ll just about melt!

A Love Letter to Family

City Winery set the stage perfectly for their day and Hudson Valley for the full weekend. Aside from how obsessed we are with their design, we are even more infatuated with this couple and their guest group. I told you they were so overwhelmingly cool, and a significant part of that is attributed to their family.

Families come in all styles, shapes, sizes, and forms, but the defining feature is love. Around here, you know that’s what we are all about, and around this family, you are surrounded! In their presence, you’re family, no matter where you come from. There were friendships present that spanned decades, multiple schools, and even military tours overseas. The bond is palpable and the support even more. With comfort and kinship like that, it’s easy to be you and immerse yourself in a celebration built around you. In this case, Kristen and Evan!

Notable Mentions from this City Winery Wedding

Some of our favorite things about this City Winery wedding? The disco balls, for starters. In disco balls, we stan! A close second is the fashion! Between Kristen’s chic, pearl-studded sleeves and the bridesmaid’s array of green, magenta, and floral-print dresses. Honorable mention goes to the most fashionable Mother of the Bride!

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the couple’s alternative to their cake-cutting. Pizza is symbolic in their relationship, as it has been a part of their first date and weekly date nights since. Their sweet tooths are savory ones, and this was a perfect nod to something they love.

Lastly, our bride and groom! The best weddings truly reflect the people being celebrated, and this was top-tier. To Kristen, Evan, and their family and friends. We adore you and appreciate you, and we hope to be as cool as you one day!!
