How much do Amanda and Pablo love Brooklyn? Let us count the ways: From their bohemian wedding bands to the bride's delicate veil, nearly every detail of this couple's fine fete was Brooklyn-based. "We tried to source as much as possible from Brooklyn—where we live—or from our friends," Amanda explains.

Pablo wore a suit by Martin Greenfield Clothiers, an established custom suit maker in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The couple's casual-yet-chic October ceremony was held at Brooklyn's Causey Contemporary, where modern artwork served as a bold backdrop to the otherwise sparse decor. "We were going for understated elegance," the bride says. "Something simple and beautiful and not overwrought."

The couple met during college at New York University in 2002, and were friends until they started dating in 2005. They became engaged in December 2011 at a steakhouse in Manhattan. Their friend—and avant-garde jewelry artist—Hannah Clark made Amanda's engagement ring and the couple's wedding bands.

But her crowning glory—and her fashion-nod to the couple's favorite city—was a cathedral-length veil, which she received as a gift from her friend, Molly, at Yestadt Millinery, an up-and-coming headwear designer in Brooklyn.

During the cocktail reception, Amanda and Pablo served charcuterie, cheese and olives, and opened a full bar.

Centerpieces made of deep red and purple flowers flanked by leafy ferns dotted banquet tables covered in crisp white linens.

The guests enjoyed a family-style dinner of scallop crudo, rabbit sausage and lamb paired with flat-bread and spices, and more.

The bride and groom's first dance was "Fly Me to the Moon."

Alas, when the reception ended and it was time for Amanda and Pablo to embark on their honeymoon, they left Brooklyn behind. The couple toured Spain—Barcelona, San Sebastian, and Madrid—instead.
