Lauren and Ivan were married in Central Park’s “secret garden” last Friday — a small, intimate ceremony attended by immediate family. Officially known as the Conservatory Garden, it is CP’s six-acre formal garden, divided into three smaller gardens, each with a distinct style: Italian, French, and English. Lauren and Ivan were married in the English-style garden which is the southern part. From CentralPark.com:
“There are five mixed borders of trees, shrubs and perennial plants, and five seasonal beds featuring spring bulbs that are followed by annual flower displays. A slope of woodland plants lines the western edge of this garden. At the center is sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnoh’s lovely Frances Hodgeson Burnett Memorial Fountain, a tribute to the author of the children’s book, The Secret Garden. The children — a girl and a boy, said to depict Mary and Dickon, the main characters from the classic — stand at one end of a small water lily pool.”
OFFICIANT: Mirelle Eid
VENUE: South Garden in the Conservatory Garden in Central Park
