Newlywed Nest: An Open House for Lovebirds

APRIL 30, 2010

An East Village penthouse condo works the couples angle to entice visitors and encourage migration.

BRIDES magazine and IKEA are getting together to feather a love nest at the LEED Gold-Certified Village Green luxury condominium in Manhattan’s garden-filled East Village. Just in time for wedding season, the Newlywed Nest welcomes visitors to a sleek two-bedroom triplex penthouse in the “eco-luxury” residence that has been tricked out by designer Inson Dubois Woods to resemble “a couples’ dream apartment,” with—you guessed it—IKEA furniture and other home decor items including state-of-the-art appliances and a very lovable roof deck.

In addition to the eye candy will be a full menu of nuptial-related activities and events including eco-friendly wedding planning, design and entertaining advice from authors and experts, cupcake-decorating and floral arrangement classes, rooftop fitness boot camps, wine tastings and more. If the model nest turns out to be your dream come true, you’re in luck: Not only will the furniture be up for grabs (a tag sale is scheduled for the event’s final day), the apartment itself is on the market as well. The Newlywed Nest will be open on weekends between April 24 and May 22 at 311 East 11th Street, PH2A . Check the events page for a schedule.
