This Cheap Replica Handbags Designer’s Fall Wedding in the Hudson Valley Was a Celebration of Her Creative Community

The bride actually found a jacket to wear on her wedding day before she found her ceremony gown. “I was looking at Celine for shoes and noticed the jacket because it was the most perfect shade of blue with a touch of gray—my all-time favorite color,” she remembers. As for the dress, Mary only scheduled two salon appointments, with Rosie Assoulin and Danielle Frankel, because she “respected their fresh eyes on bridal.” The jewelry designer says, “I ended up going with one of Danielle’s dresses from her 2023 presentation. The top fit a silhouette I had worn throughout my life, so I knew I would be comfortable but also feel timeless. The back and train were very exaggerated, which added a sculptural element.”

Terrence donned a custom P. Johnson suit lined in his favorite color, green. Mary adds, “I gifted him a pair of 18-karat gold infinity cuff links that morning and designed his wedding band with a secret brown diamond set on the inside to represent our girls, [dogs] Ande and Mira.”

While the bridal party didn’t match, they did all wear original pieces from Mary MacGill that were created to specifically complement their looks. “I gave the gals a loose color palette and worked with my friend stylist Leah Meshberg to make some designer suggestions,” says Mary. “They wore dresses from Tove, Kamperett, Jacquemus, Interior, and Paris Georgia. McKenna, who officiated, wore a vintage ’90s Emporio Armani suit, and my mom wore a beautiful dress from Cortana.”

With rain in the forecast for the big day, some last-minute preparations had to be made. “It was all a beautiful surprise,” says Mary. “I was fine about the weather until the week before, when I stress-ordered 200 white umbrellas for our guests who would have to traverse the park overlooking the Hudson and Catskill mountains to get to our reception tent.” A light drizzle came down and umbrellas unfurled as the bride walked down the aisle. “I totally lost it and was so thankful to have my dad there in that moment—squeezing my arm, making me laugh, and dabbings my eyes with his handkerchief,” Mary remembers. “I hadn’t given much direction for our ceremony flowers, and Sarah from Saipua had created this cathedral of fall branches and anemones looking out on the river and the Catskills. It was almost painfully beautiful to see so many wonderful people, our dogs, and my true love standing at the end, smiling with tears streaming as well.”

After taking some photos, the newlyweds took a ride on the back of Mary’s father’s Land Rover to the reception tent and received a big surprise. “When we arrived, everyone was already dancing! We couldn’t believe it,” says Mary. The reception decor was a creative collaboration between the couple, their planner, and even the bride’s mother. “My mom had made about 120 paper lanterns of all sizes to go on the tables, along with the flowers, vessels from Emberken, and colored pencils so people could draw on the papered tables. Inspired by Sol LeWitt, Terrence and I had etched 250 water glasses for our guests with all different designs.”

As guests enjoyed speeches, they also dug into a family-style meal by caterer Lauren Stanek featuring a little gem and fall flower Caesar salad, roast lamb with sage chimichurri, butter-poached squash with chili, trout with lemon confit, and butter beans in a shiitake broth. “We were supposed to have an ‘ice cream moment,’ but Josh pulled us aside and said, ‘I’ve never seen people on the dance floor like this. I think we should skip the ice cream moment and keep the vibe going.’ We agreed, and espresso martinis were passed as people grabbed an ice cream cone and made it back to dance.”

With burgers in hand, guests piled into buses heading to the after-party. “We arrived at Rivertown Lodge, where karaoke was set up in the lounge and grilled cheeses were being passed at the bar,” shares Mary. “People had RSVP’d with karaoke songs, so they were raring to go.” The bride reflects, “We’re so glad we focused on hosting the events in places that are meaningful to us, with great food, a killer band, and handmade touches from our friends and family. It was hands down the best day of our lives.” She jokes, “We’re also very excited to go back to ‘normal life’ in front of the fire with our dogs.”
