An Enchanted Garden Wedding in Full Pink Bloom at Pendry Natirar

For Emily and Alexander’s April 11, 2026 wedding, they chose Pendry Natirar in Peapack—a venue Emily grew up just 15 minutes from and had always found special. She envisioned an enchanted garden: lush florals, soft romance, and an abundance of pink to honor her love of spring. In a hand-painted A-line Lela Rose gown from Mark Ingram Atelier, with her bridesmaids in pink Amsale dresses beside them and Natirar’s sweeping views as their backdrop, it was exactly that—and then some.

Their Story

“We met on Hinge in 2020 and had a picture-perfect first date in Central Park—blanket, drinks, everything,” says Emily. “The only issue? COVID meant no bathrooms…and I literally peed my pants. Somehow, it didn’t scare him off. From that day on, I knew he was special. He is thoughtful, patient, and intentional.”

The Proposal

“I had a feeling it was coming, but he still surprised me,” says Emily. “He planned a scavenger hunt including meaningful places in our relationship. Along the way, my closest friends read clues, and at the end my family was there and we had a special picnic in the park, just like our first date. It turned into the most thoughtful, emotional celebration.”

Choosing the Venue

“We chose Pendry Natirar because I grew up just 15 minutes away, so it already felt special,” says Emily. “We wanted a place where our families could spend the whole weekend together and it had that perfect mix of cozy, luxury, and truly feeling like home.”

Details of the Day

“As an April baby, I’ve always loved spring. I wanted it to feel like an enchanted garden—lush florals, soft romance, and lots of pink,” says Emily. “The whole day was about celebrating light, warmth, and everything that makes the season feel so special.”

Favorite Moment

Alexander’s favorite moment was dancing the night away with friends and family. Emily’s was exchanging vows with the beautiful Natirar views behind them, surrounded by all their loved ones. “It was an unforgettable mix of joy, love, and celebration,” she says.

Wedding Day Attire

Emily wore a hand-painted A-line gown by Lela Rose from Mark Ingram Atelier, paired with Manolo Blahnik shoes and a matching puff-sleeve bolero and belt.

Alexander wore a Polo Ralph Lauren tuxedo with patent leather Manolo Blahnik lace-ups. The bridal party (their siblings) wore pink Amsale dresses from Elizabeth John’s Bridal Couture.

Advice For Other Couples

“Enjoy the process and try to stay present, it goes by so quickly,” says Emily. “Write everything down so you can relive it later, and most importantly, soak in the time with the people you love. Even the stress is part of something really special. Remember the reason you’re doing this!”

Honeymoon

“We’re heading to Moorea and Bora Bora for 11 nights at the end of June into July. We’re most excited to truly unwind and plopping on the beach, snorkeling, soaking up the sun, and just enjoying time together.”
