This Couple Eloped in New York City's Central Park For Their Autumn Nuptials

Flora and Will  wrote their elegant, intimate wedding as a love letter to the most iconic elements of New York City. “We knew we wanted a classic vibe,” Flora says. “Choosing to go to the lake at Central Park, taking photos in the West Village—it was all naturally very timeless.” The couple spent weeks scouting spots for their “I dos,” but after the sun came out the day of, Flora and Will knew they’d head to the park’s lake. After their lakeside vows atop a rock, the couple and their parents hopped into yellow cabs and welcomed 28 guests to Casa Apicii, an Italian restaurant in a 19th-century townhouse, where they devoured pasta, sipped cocktails and raised toasts. “The restaurant has a library-like feel,” Flora says. “It’s so elegant but cozy.”
