How much do Amanda and Pablo love Brooklyn? Let us count the ways: From their bohemian wedding bands to the bride's delicate veil, nearly every detail of this couple's fine fete was Brooklyn-based. "We tried to source as much as possible from Brooklyn—where we live—or from our friends," Amanda explains.
Their casual-yet-chic October ceremony was held at Brooklyn's Causey Contemporary, where modern artwork served as a bold backdrop to the couple's otherwise sparse decor. "We were going for understated elegance," the bride says. "Something simple and beautiful and not overwrought."
The couple exchanged rings made by their friend—and avant-garde jewelry artist—Hannah Clark, while their whimsical invitation suite was designed by New York illustrator Sarah Rutherford.
Friends of the bride helped her into her Saja Wedding gown, a beaded beauty that the bride accented with accessories passed on from her grandmother. But the bride's crowning glory—and her fashion-nod to the couple's favorite city—was a cathedral-length veil, which she received as a gift from her friend, Molly at Yestadt Millinery, an up-and-coming headwear designer in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn-based Sprout Home gathered gem-colored ranunculus, anemones, dahlias and garden roses to create the bride's full bouquet. Pablo and his groomsmen donned boutonnieres made of lamb's ear and berzillia and Viburnum berries.
Brooklyn's swanky, industrial Wythe Hotel was the site of Amanda and Pablo's reception. Guests found their seat assignments—where they enjoyed family-style scallop crudo, rabbit sausage and lamb paired with flat-bread and spices and more—on a giant blackboard.
Before guests dug into dinner, Amanda and Pablo served charcuterie, cheese and olives, and opened a full bar. Centerpieces made of deep red and purple flowers flanked by leafy ferns dotted banquet tables covered in crisp white linens.

But alas—when the reception ended and it was time for Amanda and Pablo to embark on their honeymoon, they left Brooklyn behind. The couple toured Spain instead.
