Paris may be the City of Love, but New York is for lovers. Maybe it’s the glittering skyline, the endless sense of possibility, or the chaos, but there is something extra romantic about a New York City wedding.
Spotting a bride, dressed in white, bravely strutting through the gum-speckled city streets, is something akin to magic. As is the confetti trail by the steps of City Hall after a chic civil ceremony. For many couples (and, of course, especially for New Yorkers), having their special day among the storied streets, brownstones, and landmarks of the city makes it all the more meaningful.
Some of the best New York City weddings featured in Vogue include celebrations at iconic haunts, like singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen’s wedding at the reopened Hotel Chelsea, somewhat unexpected (but equally legendary) spots like The Central Park Zoo, historic clubs like Gramercy’s National Arts Club, or cultural institutions like The New York Public Library.
From bohemian bashes to Rainbow Room soirées and a “Gilded Age block party,” take a look at some of Vogue’s best New York City weddings below.
