Planning a wedding in a city like New York City is hectic. From coming up with floor plans while in a crowded subway train to e-mailing vendors from your smartphone, finding time to perfect it to the tiniest detail is going to be a tough challenge. Known for its fashion and style, a lot of brides strive to keep up with the city’s flair. Thankfully, Jacqueline Weppner created a company called Merci New York that specializes in focusing on the smallest details from perfecting the bride to styling the event that will make you and your wedding unique from all others.
Extra hands and expertise is something we always CRAVE for. Find out why Jacqueline is your go-to gal!
What is your motto, slogan, or theme song?
“Chic and stylish inspiration for the busy city bride.”
What are your most popular products or services?
Quite simply, Merci New York focuses solely on providing chic and stylish details for the busy city bride. We have two very popular services: fashion and event detail styling. We focus on providing our clients with highly stylized “wow factor” details that make their event positively posh and wonderfully memorable.
New York City brides face a tough struggle when planning their weddings; they’re often juggling a demanding career while organizing their big day. They love fashion and have a keen eye for style, but they don’t necessarily have time to translate their chic aesthetic into their wedding day look, or the event details that will make for a memorable affair.
Merci New York jumps in to create these details… We work with a bride to create gorgeous accents worthy of a wedding magazine tear sheet. Whether its a show stopping candy/dessert bar, chicly thoughtful attendant/out of town guest gifts, or fashion styling for the wedding and all the events leading up to it, we marry our client’s style with chic design sensibilities that will have guest swooning.
People may be surprised to know…
I just completed a bridal fashion editorial shoot on top of the iconic Chrysler building. It was the only bridal shoot ever to take place at the historic location! We spent the day on the windy 61st floor mezzanine (where the famous eagle statues look over the skyline). It was exhilarating!
What’s a place that inspires you and why?
Paris. The art, the culture, the lifestyle of its people… Parisians live to enjoy life and then take such pleasure in little, special details. I find that wonderfully inspiring.
In 10 years you want to be…
Continuing to grow Merci New York to new heights, and laughing with my husband about all the silly obstacles I thought would stop me.
How do you relax?
I have a hard time standing still, so ballet and yoga are wonderful ways for me to relax. Then again, so is a nice glass of red wine!
What’s your favorite fashion must-have or must-NOT-have?
A black quilted Chanel bag and a pair of classic Christian Louboutin pumps. I love to mix high/low pieces in my wardrobe and I ADORE a great sale, but those two items just epitomize all things polished and pretty!
What’s a cause you are passionate about and why?
I passionately volunteer my time and effort to charitable organizations which work to better the lives of women and children in New York City. I have served Vice Chair of Public Relations for the New York Junior League, and work as an active New York Cares volunteer. New York City is such a magical place, but there are so many people here who need our help. I think it’s important to give back to the community.
