A Stylish Spring Restaurant Wedding at Battello in Jersey City, New Jersey

Amy and Evan met through friends, but later realized that they’d crossed paths before: playing soccer as kids. They sealed their status as teammates by exchanging vows under an arch of delphinium and eucalyptus at a favorite waterfront restaurant, Battello. In the industrial space, the couple wanted “to mix different textures and elements of rustic and modern design,” Amy says. Tall blue candlesticks and centerpieces of red charm peonies, ranunclus, freesia and spirea created a romantic mood. Monogrammed linens marked each place setting. The couple served chicken-and-waffle cones at cocktail hour and short rib with Swiss chard at dinner. Strawberry shortcake polished off the celebration.
