A Charming, Vintage Wedding at Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, New York
Natalie Delva (25 and a business manager) and Jonathan Delva (25 and a teacher) love a vintage, antique look, so they incorporated that inspiration into their wedding day. Filled with vintage touches, from the style of the invitations to a retro typewriter-themed guest book and the jazz band's outfits, the wedding day decor was an ode to the past. What details that weren't vintage-inspired, were created with other elements of the couple's personality in mind: The vibrant blue and green bridesmaid gowns harked to Natalie's love of sapphires, emeralds and lapis lazuli, while Natalie's parents surprised the newlyweds with a mariachi band performance during the reception. "It was awesome to bring my Mexican culture into the wedding," Natalie says.
