It's no secret that Brooklyn is one of our favorite places to get married — the New York City borough is full of picturesque party spaces, talented vendors, and delicious foods to incorporate into your celebration. So, if you've decided to get married there, here are a few of our favorite ways to wed, Brooklyn-style.
Welcome Tote Bag (above): Stash snacks and drinks in a Brooklyn-themed tote bag—something your guests will definitely again after the wedding.

Table Numbers: A clever idea is to name each reception table after a different Brooklyn neighborhood.
