Cole wore a cream suit from Husbands in Paris and shoes by Gucci. All of the couple\u2019s accessories were put together by Carly\u2019s stylist Hayley Atkin<\/a>, who selected shirts, shoes, cufflinks, and boutonnieres.<\/p>\n

The bridesmaids were given a jewel-toned color palette and the ability to select their own dresses. The groomsmen were also given full rein to do their own thing and chose suits to their liking.<\/p>\n

Carly\u2019s aunt and uncle officiated the intimate ceremony in front of just 100 guests in the hotel\u2019s Bard Room. \u201cBeing present and at ease was key for both of us,\u201d Carly says. \u201cWe wanted it to feel romantic and full of emotion. Our family talked about how we met, and we wrote personal vows to each other that we read aloud.\u201d<\/p>\n

They were both surprised when they didn\u2019t cry. \u201cWe were expecting to,\u201d Carly remembers. \u201cBut the energy was just light and joyful. Between the bright baby blue of the background, the wildflowers that surrounded us, and the intimate lighting, walking down the aisle felt like a fever dream. Nothing will top the moment when we first locked eyes, and to be honest, for the first half of the ceremony we couldn\u2019t see anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, the newlyweds took time to be alone together. Their planner Stefanie ushered them out to the street and in front of a little storefront next to the Chelsea. \u201cWe giggled and kissed and just tried to take it in before the cocktail party began,\u201d Carly recalls.<\/p>\n

At the cocktail party, Carly\u2019s childhood friend Molly Ryan sang with her jazz trio. \u201cThis was a highlight of the night,\u201d Carly says. The couple wanted to give their guests a memento connected to the Chelsea, as well as to their personal history. The first book Carly ever gave Cole was Leonard Cohen\u2019s The Book of Longing, and Patti Smith\u2019s Just Friends is one of their shared favorites, so those books\u2014and the bookmarks that went with them\u2014directed guests to their seats for dinner.<\/p>\n

Later on, after dinner and toasts, Carly\u2019s friend Rufus Wainwright surprised everyone with an a capella version of Cohen\u2019s \u201cChelsea Hotel #2.\u201d \u201cThis felt like a once-in-a-lifetime New York moment,\u201d Carly says.<\/p>\n

Looking back a few weeks later, Carly and Cole are still overcome. \u201cOften in life we\u2019ll imagine things, and even though the reality can be good, it\u2019s never quite as good,\u201d Carly says. \u201cThis day felt like the exception. It was better than either one of our wildest dreams. We felt connected through the whole thing, which was really important to us. In fact, we even had a few special songs planted in the DJ\u2019s setlist so that, no matter where we were at the moment, when we heard those songs, we would come find each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
