My dear readers, over the next few weeks, I'd love to share a few cool weddings of some friends. First up? Bill and Fanny, who recently tied the knot at New York's City Hall...
"We got married really early in the morning," says Fanny. "I put flowers in my hair; then we picked up Simon (our best friend and witness) and drove our old white Volvo into town, picking up coffees on the way."
"Getting married at City Hall was perfect," she says. "You could feel the tension in the waiting rooms--the expectations and the wedding nerves. It was really nice to share that with the other strangers."
Aren't Fanny's white overalls awesome? "A couple days before the wedding, I was looking for something to wear, and Bill suggested popping into Steven Alan. When I saw the dungarees, I knew they were right. I wanted to be comfortable and low-key. My mother would have cringed, but she was unknowingly going about her day in Sweden."
"After we got married, we called our families," says Fanny. "Then we had brunch at Cafe Cluny and went to a spa. The night was spent with friends at the Jane Hotel bar. It was such a beautiful, magical experience; I was in a daze all day." Huge congratulations, Fanny and Bill!


her outfit is so cute... seems to fit her personality :)
ReplyDeletethis sounds absolutely magical!! and the overalls are to die for! i love this low key wedding..and the flowers in her hair are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's so weird but definitely has a touch of cuteness.
ReplyDeleteDori.
she looks adorable. how natural! and the flower headpiece....
ReplyDeletequite possibly one of the coolest couples around!
ReplyDeleteShe must be the most adorable, unconventional bride ever! The red lips provide the perfect finish:)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a PERFECT wedding. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI love it! ; )
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love how weddings are becoming more about couple's personalities than following expectations.
Love that she decided to not wear a fancy dress either!
That is my idea of a perfect wedding - low-key, casual, low-stress. What a great couple.
ReplyDeleteInspiring, unique, romantic, and so intimate. I find their comfortability with who they are individually and as a couple completely inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers in her hair, looks like she just walked off the most lovely farm.
ReplyDeleteso sincerely beautiful!
ReplyDeletexo
This is so lovely. Sometimes I wish I had had the guts to rock the boat and be less conventional with my wedding (no regrets though, when all was said and done). But this is absolutely lovely, and I am so impressed at how it seems to really reflect the couple and their wants.
ReplyDeleteThis just might be too much coolness for one post!
ReplyDeleteLove them + love City Hall weddings - makes me think of Mia Farrow with a pixie cut.
Cheers.
Lovely low-key wedding.
ReplyDeletei love this! such a sweet couple, and I love her look. its totally them... you can tell
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing... court house weddings are great!!
this is insanely adorable!! love,love, love.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in her hair are brightening my day :)
ReplyDeleteHope =) xoxo

she is really adorable.
ReplyDeletei couldn't pull off overalls on a normal day, let alone on my wedding day, but how awesome anyway.
They look so happy!!
ReplyDeletexoxo Laura
How refreshing to see a couple like this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! ;)
City Hall weddings are always a yes in my book. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my-I love her boots and braids! What a nice comfortable wedding-sounds like a great way to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteFanny can really rock the bright red lipstick. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love low key weddings.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful couple! i love the flowers in her hair :)
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this, i dream of eloping too!
ReplyDeleteshe's beautiful with her flowers in her hair!
ReplyDeleteHer hair is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Just saved for inspiration on my own big day!! xoxo katie
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! And I love her boots. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! This seems to definitely suit their personalities. They are too cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! They seem like such sweet, genuine people. On a personal note, I've been talking about marriage with my beau, and mentioned that I'd be fine (happy, really) with going to city hall. We're slightly worried about our families' collective reactions (they'd probably want a big party, but I'm broke! Thanks, grad school). I think this just sealed the deal for me. (smile!)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
mindi
Awesome low-key wedding! I love her overalls and bright flowers.
ReplyDeleteI. Love. This couple.
ReplyDeleteThe end.
Amazing - I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this couple. They are amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf I would have known you could get married in overalls, I would have done it by now! So inspiring for us tomboys. Such a cute couple. May they be very happy together.
ReplyDeletei LOVE this. My fiance and I just decided on a city hall wedding too. :]
ReplyDeleteaww this is too cute! i love her look :)
ReplyDeletei'm in the middle of planning a wedding (oh the drama!), so i'm finding myself incredibly envious of fanny and bill's simple, charming, lovely, meaningful city hall nuptials. i'm sending a link to this post to my fiancé as a reminder that this is still a viable option. ( :
ReplyDeleteher outfit is way too adorable! and her hair! her who getup somehow looks like it could be in an editorial. very cute =]
ReplyDeleteyay, hollie! that's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteloving the outfits & hair.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!!
So simple, but so cute! they look lovely! xo
ReplyDeleteAdorable--I love her lipstick with her outfit!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely couple! i have always wanted to just run in to city hall and get married and this makes me want it more!! too bad my mother would kill me.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this wonderful couple and their special moment!
xoxo

Such a sweet wedding. Having been a bridesmaid in traditional weddings many times, I'm drawn more and more to the idea of a tiny little low-key wedding without any of the stress of a big event! It seems so intimate and lovely to do it this way.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding, the answers on The Selby and those overalls...I'm in love. I wonder if they'll consider re-marrying...to me? Yes both.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people do what fits them best and not what's popular with the masses. They seem like a fabulous couple!
ReplyDeleteWe had a city hall wedding and it was perfect. Really the simplest, most lovely day ever.
ReplyDeleteunique wedding!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately here in Greece, half of your relatives will not speak to you if you do a wedding like this..
http://anmarkdesign.blogspot.com/
b and i are getting married at our local court house (shhhh, it's still kind of a secret) and it's nice to see other people celebrating their big day in a similar way. love the dungarees too. such a sweet touch.
ReplyDeleteI share the same feeling cause my wedding took part in the City Hall as well...........
ReplyDeletehttp://www.renatsan.blogspot.com/
Such cute pictures. Now thats the way a wedding should be! -exactly how the bride and groom want it to be, rather than mired in tradition for the sake of tradition.
ReplyDeletethis is perfect. good for them for going casual! p.s. the jane hotel bar is one of my favorite places ever. we had so much fun there while visiting NYC.
ReplyDeleteCould they be any cuter? My brother got married at NYC city hall about a year and a half ago! (my idea!) It was the MOST fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm in love with the gorgeous simplicity of their wedding. Feeling the pure, luminous perfection of it all.
ReplyDeleteTo top it all off, their apartment kicks ass.
I love New York! I never saw this wonderful city but I'm sure I do love it! Bye, Chiara
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog! I think you should check out a new book that my friend illustrated called Bike Snob (http://hellosuzannaswearingen.blogspot.com/), especially the "urban cyclist" illustration.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw it I immediately thought of you and Alex and your bike love!!
love this couple. fanny' blog is as awesome as she is. CONGRATS!
ReplyDeletethis has made my day - nay, my week! eee, all your wedding posts make me want to have an adventurous, exciting wedding.
ReplyDeletethank you, suzanna!!
ReplyDeletethey are so cute
ReplyDeleteYou may already know this, but marriages in France have to take place at the City Hall (to make it legal)...then couples proceed to a church if they want a 'ceremony'. I was a witness at a City Hall wedding in Paris...and the day was MAGICAL. Much like the day in these pics seem. :)
ReplyDeleteso perfect, i wouldn't change a thing. they seem just lovely.
ReplyDeletep.s. i am now also extremely jealous of their apartment!
I Love how there's a unique wedding style for everyone. Anything goes! They look so happy. Loving it :)
ReplyDeleteBeatriz.
thatgirlinpearls.com
how cute!
ReplyDeleteWildly romantic!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I'm so sick of overdone weddings (esp. in America) that I applaud these two for not driving their families & friends nuts with narcissist nonsense.
ReplyDeleteYay!
more and more joanna i think i want a city hall wedding and this... this about did it for me! :)
ReplyDeletethank you! xo
Not my style at all (wedding-wise--I want the big party), but seems so perfect for them. I like their matching shoes and her perfect red lips...gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethis is beyond adorable! i love it!
ReplyDeletexo,
Sonia
http://RunwayHippie.com
her red lips are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I can't decide if I want a courthouse marriage or an actual wedding. I need to decide fast! This makes the whole courthouse thing look cute.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE city hall weddings. I'm dying to have a couple email us about one!
ReplyDeleteSuch a different wedding. Her outfit is so cute and looks happiness. Love it..
ReplyDeleteI can imagine their children looking at these photos 20 years from now and thinking "Man, my parents were so rad!"
ReplyDeleteFanny and Bill look so perfect together! And their place is so amazing! It's exactly the kind of place I'd love to have one day! Excellent decorating and great style; And again, they are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is just waaay too awesome. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWoow!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed, i am always saying that I don't like the idea of wedding but you convince me..that one sounds so sexy!
It is my very first comment here..!
I like your blog, I am French, living in Paris and I am eager to know New York city noow. I am doing everything to get a summer internship there so to breathe this fresh air!
(are you french? or only american born in France!)
Keep inspiring us!
xxox
Oooh! I've met Bill on a photo shoot in Biarritz many many moons ago. He's the sweetest guy. I remember he, the model, offered to help me iron the outfits. Awwww! Congrats to the cute couple!
ReplyDeleteThis will really change your mind with regards to marrying in the city hall. Your friends is such an adorable could. Love the flowers in her hair (a touch of whimsy is what every girl needs :-) ) and even the white overalls (which, normally, I could not have imagined ever wearing in a wedding - in this case, just perfect).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the newlyweds! :-)
WHERE did she get her boots? ♥♥
ReplyDeletelove her boots :)
ReplyDeleteI love casual weddings! They're so much more enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThese two are so cool! I love the flowers in her hair paired with the dungarees and totally envy the teepee in their garden! Congrats to them!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Joanna!
www.sarabbentley.blogspot.com
It's great how they went for no fuss, just the real them when making this big step. It's a "what you see is wht you get" approac that a lot of couples could learn from.
ReplyDeleteFlowers in her hair. I adore her.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh... they are so stinkin' adorable!
ReplyDeleteIf I'll ever get married, I want my wedding to be as simple as this. This is real romance!!
ReplyDeletewow. I love the whole story (the overalls are so cute!!), it's so bloody romantic *sigh*
ReplyDeleteShe is working those overalls! There's something I could never do. Major props to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable and out of the ordinary wedding, I love that they did it early morning too...she's gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI was so happy and surprised to see this on here this morning. When I saw them on The Selby ages ago, I loved them so much I wrote a story about them with my boyfriend: http://vignettology.blogspot.com/2009/04/zooey-zimmerman-1-fanny-and-bill.html
ReplyDeleteSo this practically feels personal to me!
wow very unconventional. I have never even thought about something like that ever before...although it's kind of romantic and childish at the same time. like in kindergarden when you wear your overall and ask someone to marry you :)
ReplyDeleteoh this is so good !
ReplyDeletei remember them from The Selby, i thought they were so cool !!
what a beautiful bride and groom...
What a sweet couple!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite websites: http://greenweddingshoes.com/ - their pics would fit right in.
so perfect, they seem really happy. I love the read lips, the braided hair, white overalls with those boots. Yes, all of it! :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet!! Such a relaxed way to celebrate something so special. Love it.
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteFavorite internet wedding photos, ever.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing weddings like this on your blog. not everybody likes big parties, poofy dresses, and every lady they have ever met to be their bridesmaid! getting married is personal as much as it is special. honestly, this is exactly how i want my wedding day to be!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet , though have to admit I like her mother was not impressed by her dungarees on her wedding day LOL
ReplyDeleteBut very very sweet and totally New York like :)
Kheira, my family is english, and i have both american and british citizenship. my parents were living in france when we were born, but sadly we're not french! :)
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI quoted you in a found blog
hope that's ok
Ben
Love her look and her hair. Is she Swedish then?
ReplyDeleteThis is EXACTLY how my parents got married. But rather than in the beauty that is New York, they tied their hippified knot in the Durban Magistrates court, South Africa. This is exactly how I want to get married!
ReplyDeletei am in LOVE with this.
ReplyDeletethe outfits, the plan for the day, the grabbing of coffee, the glow, the everything.
congratulations!!
xo.

I love this post so sweet. Congratulations to your friends.
ReplyDeleteMy mum got married in dungarees, too. But that might have had something to do with the fact that she was already expecting me at the time...
ReplyDeletelove it!!!
ReplyDeletewww.lawn-party.blogspot.com
Now that's a wedding! Congrats to Bill and Fanny!
ReplyDeleteyes! she's from sweden :)
ReplyDeleteThey're such a darling couple, but their apartment is one big mess. :O I try to stay hip (via Cup of Jo) but that is just too much! Anyway, I can't wait to have my own City Hall wedding. Just the thought of waiting with other couples makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can get the same exciting feeling when you are waiting to get a marriage license. All the guys look totally nervous, and the girls are looking stressed. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe over-alls are wrong...just wrong. Would she wear that to an opera? And the professor cardi...also wrong.
oh please.
ReplyDeleteэлектрошокер
ReplyDeleteSo 'normally' beautiful! I would like to have a simple wedding like this as well. And then just disappear!
ReplyDeletecute couple with their unique wedding ..... congratulation : )simple but too much sweet.
ReplyDeleteSo simple, quirky, and affordable! city hall is a very tempting option...
ReplyDeleteThis couple is so cute, it's hurting my feelings! They're adorable!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat couple- very Charming . Love the SF hair flowers in NYC.
ReplyDeleteohh they're adorable,perfect outfits for a nice wedding!
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool. Congratulations to the both of them!

ReplyDeleteOh, I sympathize. Omegle My husband and I were working for the same company Omegle Sohbet when I was pregnant, and I can't count how many times I hauled him out of his office out to the parking Omegle Chat lot so I could have a meltdown. (because of course I couldn't do it alone, I had to have a witness and then a hug after...)
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather have Omegle that than a huge diamond! So much classier. Graham Cluley, omegle a researcher at security firm Sophos, Görüntülü Chat told BBC News that Twitter needs "much tighter control" over what users can put in a tweet to prevent similar problems in the future.

ReplyDeleteHere what i found -> vision correction
ReplyDeleteI seriously in love with City Hall Weddings. Can't beat the intimacy of them. People do it for each other not for strangers.
ReplyDeletevery good comments here.. i just want to say thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletesome times we ignore this sort of things & also suffer a lot as well.
ReplyDeletesuch a perfect way of presentation. Thanks for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteI’ve bookmarked your blog to keep up with the new topics you will post in the future.
ReplyDeleteYour article is extremely helpful. I discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteI like this concept. I visited your blog for the first time.
ReplyDeleteYour designs are very nice. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to find this very useful for me, as it contains lot of information. I always prefer to read the quality content.
ReplyDeleteI have to express my thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from such a crisis. Right after checking through the world-wide-web and coming across notions that were not beneficial, I assumed my entire life was gone. Being alive minus the solutions to the difficulties you've solved through your entire guide is a serious case, and those that might have badly damaged my career if I had not noticed your blog. Your good capability and kindness in controlling all the things was tremendous. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I can at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the expert and sensible guide. I will not hesitate to suggest your web page to anybody who requires assistance on this topic.

Gah! I LOVED this wedding. There is something so special and truly magical about the littlest details--stopping for coffee, her dungarees, calling their family after getting married... so much more personal to me than a massive affair.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the time you spend just to share this information with us.
ReplyDeleteThese guys seem perfect for each other! I love them!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfits. Great plans for the day. Great way to do it. Laid back and with the best friends.
Now, that's real love.
I hope you'll be happy.
Inspiring.
For more attraction in wedding halls one of the idea is floating candles in mason jars with those stones in bottom, with RIBBON tied around top looks so beautiful !
