Knot Pick
For the outdoor cocktail hour, a trio from the Juilliard School performed. The same group played jazzy tunes at the ceremony too.
To let guests know where to sit, the couple hung signs with their initials on the back row of seats. The modern, sans-serif font fit their clean aesthetic.
With a stone wall, a towering oak tree, and a field off to the side, there was little decorating to do at the outdoor ceremony.
Adrianne had made a Valentine’s Day card for Eugene using her old Chinese-English flash cards. The two thought it would be fun to match guests with the words on them.
A deep-blue color, inspired by the hue of twilight in August, appeared on the wedding stationery.
Guests also received custom red fans at the ceremony as a nod to Chinese tradition.
A plum-colored calla lily matched the shade of the flowers in Adrianne’s bouquet. Seeded eucalyptus also decorated Eugene’s lapel.
Gloriosa lilies, roses, and orchids combined for a rich look, with plenty of crimson, a color that brings luck in Chinese culture.
The venue provided the fuss-free menus that gave the details of the seasonal meal. The couple chose their wedding date partly because tomatoes are in their prime then!
The couple liked the rustic look of Blue Hill at Stone Barns -- and that it was a quick train ride from Manhattan.
The foodie couple loved the offerings at their reception, including marinated bass tartare.
Before they even met, Adrianne had admired a drawing by Eugene that her college buddy, Scott, had showed her (Eugene knew Scott from elementary school). Finally, after years of hearing about each other, Adrianne and Eugene were in the same room for Scott’s birthday party.

The Date August 16
 
They bonded over being first-generation American-born Chinese, among other things. The two started taking salsa dancing lessons and eventually moved in together. Around their two-year anniversary, Eugene conspired with Adrianne’s co-workers to get her to come in to the office on her day off. When she arrived, Eugene whisked Adrianne off to the zoo, the diner where they had their first date, and a private salsa lesson. The finale: a proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge.
