I was thrilled to partake in this project and showcase the event design and styling-end of Merci New York… We have been working on a slew of creative ideas for brides this summer, and it’s quite fun to see one of our concepts hit print! 
- True wicker picnic basket with leather accents
- Something Sweet: Chocolate covered espresso beans in yellow & black NYC taxi colors
- Something {Else} Sweet: NYC taxi cookie, tied to the color-coordinated espresso beans
- Something Salty: Trail mix in a custom labeled mason jar {perfect for hikes through the Central Park Ramble}
- Rolled checkered napkins with silver napkin rings
- “Poems of New York” book; a perfect picnic blanket read
- NYC subway line printed playing cards, wrapped in raffia with custom monogram {another great picnic blanket activity}
- For your hotel room: An apple travel candle {a nod to the city’s “Big Apple” nickname}
- A handwritten note from the couple {or perhaps the itinerary} written on a vintage New York postcard
- Upgrade basket: Merci New York’s signature etched champagne bottle with custom monogram
If you’re still piecing together your guest gifts, drop us a line . We’d love to work on a custom-concept to get your guests swooning! And be sure to pick up the Fall/Winter issue of Brides New York- it’s packed with a plethora of creative resources for the city bride-to-be!
