NEW YORK — Klara Nedrelow and Matt Karo turned a September wedding weekend into a two-stop itinerary from Lower Manhattan to Westchester County, capped by a hand-painted floral wedding gown that stood out even amid New York’s fashion-first scene. The Klara Nedrelow wedding was designed, the couple said, to deliver a “well-rounded New York experience,” according to a Vogue wedding feature, Dec. 21, 2025.
Klara Nedrelow wedding itinerary: city nights, country vows
The Klara Nedrelow wedding weekend opened with a Shabbat dinner for family and the wedding party in Greenwich Village before shifting to a Saturday welcome event at Manhatta, where guests gathered on the 60th floor for sweeping views of the skyline.
Nedrelow and Karo met in 2016 while she was a sophomore at Barnard and he was a junior at Columbia, later describing their early days as a “quintessentially Morningside Heights love story.” Karo proposed in February 2024 near the Brooklyn Bridge in Dumbo, setting up a celebration that leaned hard into places the couple already considered home.
On the wedding day, the Klara Nedrelow wedding moved north to Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where the reception was built around intimate, highly specific details rather than broad themes. The tent floor was covered in custom carpeting matched to the baby-blue shade of the first piece of furniture the couple bought together — a 1970s Ligne Roset Togo chair — and each guest’s initials were embroidered onto napkins. Nedrelow called the final push “a labor of love,” saying she and her family spent hours finishing 210 napkins by hand.
Klara Nedrelow wedding dress: the hand-painted floral moment
If the weekend was a map of the couple’s New York, the Klara Nedrelow wedding look was its headline. Nedrelow worked with Danielle Frankel on a semi-custom gown that paired a silk-wool bodice with a linen organza skirt, then layered on lace and hand-painted flower appliqués. Karo wore a custom Tom Ford tuxedo, finishing it with a Victorian diamond brooch.
Nedrelow walked down the aisle to a string rendition of Dr. Dog’s “I Saw Her for the First Time.” The couple exchanged vows under a chuppah designed by Nicolette Camille and were married by Cantor Chayim Frenkel, who also served as Karo’s cantor for his bar mitzvah. After dinner and dancing with their band, On the Move, the celebration circled back into the city for an afterparty downtown at Jean’s, where guests refueled with espresso martinis, carajillos and late-night comfort food.
Hand-painted florals have been part of a larger, yearslong turn toward fashion-forward bridalwear — and the label behind the dress has helped push that evolution. The Council of Fashion Designers of America highlighted Danielle Frankel’s early move toward direct-to-consumer shopping in 2020, and The Cut later detailed the designer’s growing pull among brides looking for modern silhouettes and nontraditional finishes.
For Nedrelow and Karo, the point of the Klara Nedrelow wedding wasn’t to stage a trend so much as to tell a story: a New York romance translated into clothes, music and personal references guests could feel. The result was glamour that looked big, but stayed rooted in specifics — a favorite song, a shared chair and flowers painted by hand.
