Samantha Tritsch and Ryan Fuld’s Wedding in New York City
Photo: John Dolan1/44Our wedding suite was a collaboration between Happy Menocal and Bernard Maisner. We wanted to incorporate our favorite things: blue, hydrangeas (what Ryan proposed to me with), and lovebirds—what everyone calls us because we are inseparable. Happy designed two crests—the first, which was used for the save the date—shows the birds holding up a sign with the wedding date on it. For the wedding invitation, Bernard Maisner beautifully painted the lovebirds on top of the crest—a theme that would be carried over into the wedding.

We had the dress made in cream—instead of a traditional white—with cream embroidery that gave it a softer look. My best friend, who is also my stylist and one of my bridesmaids, Carly [Schuster], worked with me on all my looks for the weekend—including finding these Charlotte Olympia cream pumps that matched the dress perfectly.
Photo: Allan Zepeda3/44I knew I wanted to have my shoulders covered since I was getting married in a temple. I was so inspired by the dress and top Emilia Wickstead designed and wore on her own wedding that I knew I wanted something similar. I worked with Miriam Shay and Henry Tosca to design this sheer bodysuit with the embroidery from my dress, which we placed around the neckline and up my sleeves. My “something new” was my beaded Oscar de la Renta clutch, a gift from my maid of honor, my sister Alex [Tritsch].
