Abby and Levi’s July wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate was a masterclass in modern minimalism—proof that a pared-back aesthetic can still feel elevated and full of memorable moments. Their multicultural celebration began with an intimate rehearsal dinner at Fumo on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where guests gathered for a warm, understated evening. The weekend officially kicked off at Cedar Lakes with a spirited field day and picnic lunch, followed by a vibrant Haldi ceremony beneath a sprawling oak tree, adorned with yellow and orange floral garlands. A Mediterranean-style dinner and heartfelt toasts from family and friends rounded out the day.

The following morning unfolded with mountaintop yoga, followed by a relaxed pool and lakeside gathering that made full use of the estate’s amenities. The ceremony was intentionally free of décor, allowing the focus to remain on Abby and Levi’s vows and the sweeping lake views beyond. A single design moment—a vintage bell seating display—invited guests to joyfully ring in the celebration’s conclusion. The reception continued the minimalist approach with textural centerpieces, palm-filled stage design, and a neutral tiled dance floor, culminating in a champagne tower toast and a night of joyful celebration that perfectly reflected the couple’s timeless style.
