The wedding ceremony and cocktail hour took place in the garden at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
Next, guests walked across the street for dinner and dancing at the James A.
The entire event was put together in just eight months.

Both the Cooper Hewitt garden and the James A.
For the food, Andrea knew from the start that she wanted to go withAcquolina Catering.
I tracked down the seller and found out that it was a vintage showroom in Midtown.
It was the first thing I tried on and it fit me perfectlyno alterations necessary!
