Liz and Rob in New York, NY

A Big Apple bride creates her dream reception at a childhood haunt

Rob and Liz, wearing an ivory Carolina Herrera wedding dress, stroll to their reception. When the day dawned cool and rainy, wedding coordinator Ellen Kostman of Sidekick Events made an emergency delivery: a gold pashmina shawl for Liz and a white umbrella for Rob to shield his bride.

Location: New York City, NY

When you grow up in Manhattan and want a hometown wedding, you can't seriously consider a country club or vineyard. New Yorker Liz Moller and fiancé Rob Lemons looked no further than the American Museum of Natural History, near Central Park, for the reception. "I grew up right around the corner from the museum," Liz explains. "It's been my favorite place since I was a child." Following a wedding ceremony at the nearby Fourth Universalist Church, the couple decided to forgo limos and instead took a leisurely walk over to the Powerhouse, the museum's sleek event space.
