At Tribeca 360, the venue space actually circles around 360 degrees...from ceremony space around to the cocktail hour space to the dining area and then the dancing. There were views of New York from...well, 360 degrees.
Russian weddings often have the cocktail hour before the ceremony. It has the effect of creating community and warm feelings to set the tone of the day. That was certainly the case for Yelena and Yury's wedding.
Yelena and Yuri had their Master of Ceremonies introduce each member of the wedding party for the ceremony procession. It was lighthearted and fun. The readings and the vows were in Russian...the language close to the hearts of the bride and groom...and their parents. Sharing a glass of wine after their vows signalled the beginning of their new marriage.
Ceremony Tip: Yelena and Yury had time for a ceremony-walk-through on site the day of the wedding. That's a wonderful idea to calm pre-ceremony jitters for them and members of the wedding party. The flower girl got the ideas of what she would do...and she was simply the best ever!
