Photography for a Marriage of Color and Location

April 16th, 2012 by Beth Baynum | Share Blog

It’s a rare and wonderful thing when a wedding’s theme, location and décor mesh perfectly to create a truly distinctive and memorable impression.  Shawn Rabideau, known as one of New York’s most innovative event planners and designers, demonstrated this perfectly at a recent wedding at Bridgewaters.

Playing off on Bridgewaters’ iconic New York location in the South Street Seaport area, Shawn paired the wedding couple’s signature colors of Spring Green, Dove Grey and Bright Orange with original artwork of the city’s landmark sites to create an impressively cohesive décor that everyone will remember.

Among the notable elements: floral arrangements of orange roses combined with orchids and other exotic blooms; and original sketches of New York locations for each table, such as the Brooklyn Bridge (visible beautifully lit outside the windows of Bridgewaters), Bethesda Fountain, the Empire State and Flatiron Buildings, carried out on the escort cards and table candles.

Shawn Rabideau is a master of the details, and at this wedding those distinctive elements were used in unique ways to create an elegant and personal wedding style.  The photos tell the story, and they may give you some ideas of your own!
