A Classic, Intimate Wedding at The Fig Tree in Hoboken, New Jersey

Jacqueline "Jackie" DeMaio (33, a senior brand manager) and Keith Kelleher (29, works in management) met for the first time thanks to a mutual friend who planned a happy hour with the sole purpose of setting them up. "We hit it off immediately," recalls Jackie. "At the end of the night, he asked for my number, called the next day to make our first date and that was it." Shortly after moving in together Keith proposed in the middle of the ice rink at Bryant Park in New York City. When it came time to plan their wedding, Jackie and Keith decided to keep things local, and celebrate where they first met and now live: Hoboken, New Jersey. After a traditional Catholic ceremony, the couple and their intimate guest list of 45 headed to The Fig Tree for a cozy restaurant reception. With an emphasis on family, friends and delicious food, Jackie and Keith chose a simple but sophisticated look for their wedding, tying it together with dusty shades of gray and soft blues and green.

Jackie wore an ivory, lace, a-line wedding dress with a bateau illusion neck neckline and a keyhole back. "I tried on the Siara dress by WTOO and the moment I zipped up the back I had a feeling it was the one," she says.
"I really like the look of succulents in flower arrangements, which lead us to the color of grayed jade and dusty blue for our wedding," says Jackie.
Keith accessorized his gray, three-piece J. Crew suit with an ivory rose boutonniere and a purple plaid tie.

"The size of the wedding was really the best reflection of us as a couple," Jackie says of their 45 person guest list. "By keeping it small, we felt like we had better control of the style of our wedding and resulted in the all the elements we love."
