Though tourists often insist New York to be cold and austere, real New Yorkers know the magic in finding secret, special spaces that seem meant just for them. For Lizz and Pat, that space is Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Manhattan skyline and river views proved to be the perfect background for their countless summer afternoons together… so when they began to plan their wedding, the park became the basis of their “Urban Picnic” theme.
During the reception at the Galapagos Art Space , the couple managed to reproduce a cheerful and outdoor atmosphere through whimsical details, bright colors and delicious BBQ food. It’s a pleasure to share these beautiful images from Heather from Oak Street Studio . Take a peek and get inspired!

From the Bride:
Our first thought when we began to plan our wedding, was to make it fun and not feel like work. Pat and I knew we wanted a special location and great food, and that we needed to make it happen on a tight budget. The Galapagos Art Space was perfect, and when we realized we could do the ceremony in Brooklyn Bridge Park we were totally sold.
Our theme “Urban Picnic” emerged from there and we sought to bring in simple but bold details to tie into the theme. The potted plants brought a lot of color and the pinwheels added a touch of whimsy. We repurposed an old chalkboard for the menu, and found some fun decor items very inexpensively at a local art supply store. Bringing the outdoors in with lighting was also important since it was a daytime wedding and the venue could otherwise feel a bit cavernous. We were really happy with how everything turned out!
