Okay but like WHY is no one talking about the most iconic first date ever? Klara Nedrelow and Matt Karo’s college love story is basically a rom-com script. They met in 2016 at Barnard and Columbia, and the first time Klara saw Matt, she joked he looked like Jake from State Farm. He didn’t flinch—he explained he was on the baseball team and complimented her outfit. Then he stayed late in class to talk to her, and their first date lasted so long they closed the restaurant. That’s how you know you’re in it.
Their wedding? A full-on NYC & country hybrid. They wanted to give guests a “well-rounded New York experience,” so they hosted a multi-day bash in September. Start with a Shabbat dinner at Parcelle in Greenwich Village, then a rooftop view of the city from Manhatta’s 60th floor. Klara’s dress? A blue tulle Jil Sander from 2008, sourced from Tab Vintage. But the real MVP? Her clutch: a Pigeon’s Guide to Fine Dining in Paris—because of that one time a pigeon flew into their café, and the maître d’ caught it mid-air. Yep, that’s the one.
They even brought the country vibes to Sleepy Hollow Country Club, with custom carpeting matching their first furniture buy: a 1970s Ligne Roset chair. And for the extra touch? Every guest got their initials embroidered on their napkins. “My mom, sister, Matt, and I spent hours hand-pressing 210 of them,” Klara says. It’s the kind of detail that makes you go, “Oh, I would do that.”
KEY POINTS: – Blend NYC and country vibes by mixing urban venues with rustic touches. – Personalize your wedding with inside jokes—like a pigeon clutch or a custom napkin design. – Invest in vintage pieces (hello, Jil Sander!) for a timeless, curated look.
