Creative conversation, curated details, and that distinct NYC energy — THE WED’s Soirée was everything a modern gathering should be. Held on April 10th inside the High Line Room at The Standard Hotel, the evening brought together an intimate mix of industry insiders for cocktails, connection, and a celebration of community. Designed in collaboration with Honey + Thyme Events and floral studio Blxxm, the space was a study in minimal elegance. Think singular calla lily stems placed with intention, vintage films projected on sheer drapery cascading from the ceiling, and a color palette that whispered rather than shouted.

Guests arrived in neutral cocktail attire, sipping cocktails while exchanging stories, ideas, and a shared passion for elevated and curated celebrations. Among those in attendance were esteemed bridal fashion brands and creatives: Danielle Frankel, Loho, Cinq, Chosen by Kyha, Amsale, and Elie Saab, as well as leading bridal stylists Hope Lavine, Gown Eyed Girl, and Gabrielle Hurwitz, all contributing to the buzz and excitement of the night. The vibe? Effortlessly cool, unmistakably thoughtful, and rooted in the kind of intentionality that defines contemporary luxury.
From the sculptural and stunning cake by Maria Amaria, which served as a captivating focal point of the event, to the editorial eye of photographers Love Bears and Kindred, every detail was thoughtfully curated and captured with care. Their creative perspective ensured that the occasion was documented through a lens of artistry and style, reflecting the sophisticated spirit of the soirée.

The soirée served as both an industry mixer and a creative recharge, feeling more like a gathering of old friends than a formal event. Our intention behind the evening was to create a space where like-minded individuals could connect, inspire each other, and celebrate their shared passion. It was a powerful reminder of why community, collaboration, and beauty are always worth celebrating.
