Modern Rooftop Elopement Inspiration With Pops of Color

Delicate spring florals, a bright pastel palette, and dramatic city skyline views—this modern rooftop elopement is the perfect toast to love in New York City. Planner Jaclyn Watson Events, florist Folklore Flower Co., and a talented team of vendors teamed up to create this styled shoot to show urban couples that an intimate elopement can be just as romantic and magical.

With unobstructed views of Manhattan and George Washington Bridge, Above The Heights was a great spot for this rooftop elopement inspiration. The scene was set for a beautiful vow exchange using towering florals in gold pedestals to frame the couple. Meanwhile, a romantic tablescape of artful blooms and taper candles that popped against rose-colored velvet linen added character to the adjacent minimalist reception space. 

And in true urban fashion, the couple donned chic attire—with Danae in a flirty mini dress and Jason sporting a classic black tux.

Each vendor came together with a shared vision to create a chic and modern rooftop elopement design using a spring floral palette with pops of lemon yellow and soft purple.
