Your wedding can be an experience, not just an event. Maria and Aniz proved that with their Felina Ridgewood wedding. Their luxurious florals and decor created an enchanting evening for their guests. This joyful wedding blended Maria and Aniz’s cultures in style.

A Felina Ridgewood Wedding

Before Felina Ridgewood was a wedding venue, it housed a bank. Its neoclassical architecture has the kind of grandeur that makes old banks so impressive. Grecian columns line the front of the building. Inside you still can see the steel vault door.

Even though Felina is in a historic building, it feels really clean and modern. Cool contemporary chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Overall, the space has a surprising airiness that makes it really inviting.

This is a fully indoor venue, so you’ll enjoy it rain or shine. Ceremonies and receptions take place in the main hall with cocktail hour taking place on the mezzanine. This spacious wedding venue accommodates up to 200 guests. Wedding packages start at $180 per person.

As part of the Landmark collection of Pennsylvania and New Jersey wedding venues, Felina Ridgewood provides a streamlined experience. Landmark has a reputation for creating a flawless wedding experience. Felina definitely has great reviews from past marriers to back that up.

Felina Ridgewood is located in Ridgewood, New Jersey. It’s located in North Jersey on the other side of the Hudson River from New York City. You can get there from Brooklyn in just under an hour and a half. Ridgewood is a historic village with lots of cute architecture and pretty parks.

A Multicultural Celebration

Maria and Aniz are a very thoughtful couple. Their marriage blended families from two different cultures. Their Lebanese and Polish families were represented in many ways, including the music at the reception. It was so fun seeing everyone get on the dance floor for those songs! 

Both Maria and Aniz are incredibly detail-oriented. They put a lot of work into table designs and floral arrangements. Their effort created a very high-end experience for their guests. It went a long way in creating a magazine-worthy backdrop for their photos as well.

Maria’s custom wedding dress is a good example of the level of detail that defined this wedding. She had it made for her abroad. The beading, tulle, and rosettes created a really dynamic silhouette. I love the portrait of her standing on the black and white marble floor at Felina Ridgewood. You get a sense of how special this dress is for Maria.

Throughout the reception, Maria and Aniz showed that they cared about their community just as much as their gorgeous details. Throughout the day, they made sure everyone enjoyed themselves. If a guest needed anything, they were quick to attend to it. Everyone felt so cared for and welcome. That really shows in these joyful photos.

Luxurious Wedding Florals and Decor

Maria and Aniz used luxurious florals and decor to take Felina Ridgewood from beautiful to absolutely stunning. Bloomery Flower Studio selected brightly colored flowers in brass vases to bring interesting compositions and vibrance to the space. The black, white, and gold decor complimented the bright colors of the florals nicely.

The florals didn’t stop at the reception tables. Greenery even wrapped around the rails of the mezzanine. A flower installation climbed the vault behind the head table. Roses, delphiniums, amaranth, and greenery trailed down from the carved fireplace mantle. Felina Ridgewood looked like a hybrid of a garden and ballroom. 

A little extra magic came in the form of dozens of tapered candles lighting the reception tables. The tapers in their brass holders played up the warmth and romance of the occasion. Felina Ridgewood’s windows let in so much natural light that it’s really evident when night falls. The candles made the space feel so cozy as the sun went down.
