Happy Monday, lovelies! We’re kick-starting the week with one of our favorite engagement sessions to date, featuring the lovely Amanda of Untamed Petals , and her beau, Nick. Merci New York styled this fun-filled engagement session in the West Village, and the gorgeous photos come courtesy of the amazing Melissa Murphy of Missy Photography . Missy has such a wonderful eye and beautiful style – we love working with her, as everything she shoots is just so stunning!
We started with Yigal Azrouel’s Ever So Eve Dress – an ochre plisse show stopper with a trend-right, nude illusion neckline that we rented from Merci’s wardrobe-styling partner, Rent the Runway . Complimented with the Dannijo Bassett Necklace and a pair of violet DVF t-strap sandals straight from the Merci sample closet, it was the perfect outfit for an early-spring sunset {not to mention a quick game of hopscotch on a sleepy street}.
Amanda donned the killer Nicole Miller Crush On You Gown from RTR, a cobalt silk chiffon show stopper of a dress. We paired it with Rodrigo Otazu’s Super Sexy Cuff to circle back to the citrine color of her previous Yigal dress, and finished the look with Anton Heunis’ Flowerful clip-on earrings.
Nick and I met on my first day of work at VH1 in 2006. We instantly fell for each other and began secretly inter-office dating only a short week later. Maybe it was all of Nick’s silly little office pranks that made me laugh or our constant IM-ing of jokes and funny YouTube clips at work, but we quickly became completely inseparable. Five years later we are still constantly making each other laugh. We are always looking to have FUN, which is why we asked Merci New York to style our engagement session with lots of whimsical little details {like playing hop scotch in the West Village}!
Nick is my best friend and I can’t wait to have just as much fun with all of our friends and family at our wedding this August.
