I’ve been lucky enough to live in some really wonderful places, including New York, and the only trouble with moving around so much in the last seven years is that it gives me more places to miss. Rather than a sleek, modern, minimalist take on urban, I wanted to go more classic. The two main points of inspiration for this board are the exterior of Aureole (one of the better meals I’ve had in my life) which is so unassumingly chic and so classic New York, and the bride in a trench coat – how cool and sophisticated do you have to be to pull off a trench coat over your wedding gown? I imagine an intimate candle-lit ceremony followed by an exquisite dinner party, and I love the idea of asking guests (however circuitously) to give favorite books in lieu of other gifts.
Mood: no fuss sophistication, urban classic
