Alaina + Nicholas

Happy Friday!

I am so excited to share the pictures from Alaina's wedding (3/20)! Her amazing photographer, Courtney Goldman, just posted them on her website, and I have spent hours 'ooing and awwing' over them! Here they are! Feel free to oooo & awwww!

Here is the beautiful Alaina holding her bouquet!

Alaina carried a bouquet of roses, ranunculus, freesia, sweet peas, and anemones.

The bridesmaids carried nosegays of pink roses and pink ranunculus, and each bouquet was wrapped with a different style of white lace.

A great picture of the wedding party in front of the Church (First United Methodist in Athens, GA).

Alaina added so many unique adorable touches to her wedding, including the flower girl's wand! I love this pink, sparkly wand!

At her reception at The Georgian in Athens, these arrangements of pink Titanic roses in mason jars spray painted gold were on half of the tables.

THE OTHER HALF OF THE TABLES HAD EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS!

Don't these look delicious?! I love this idea! The bride created these with the help of many family members! What a unique centerpiece!

The bride and groom also had a signature cocktail called "Marry Me Mojito", and these little frames were on the bar! So cute!

I just loved being part of this wedding! It was so fun! I hope some of these ideas inspired you to create a wedding that is totally YOU!

Congratulations Alaina and Nicholas!

Brittnay + Edgar

Hello everyone! I hope you managed to stay dry on this rainy day in Atlanta! Today I had two great appointments, so my creative juices are flowing! I figured it would be a great evening to share the fabulous pictures from Brittnay's wedding!

Brittnay got married at Fair Weather Farms in Monroe, and I met her through Danielle Copeland with Simply Charming Events. When Danielle told me about Brittnay and her groom, Edgar, I knew I had to be part of this wedding!

For starters... Brittnay was going to wear Edgar's mother's wedding gown! As you can see in these pictures, this gown is AMAZING! I am in love....

I also love their photographers (Chris+Allie) from The Reason. These pictures are fabulous.

For her flowers, we kept the blooms simple and stunning... huge bouquets of white hydrangeas wrapped with ivory lace.

To make this day even more magical, all the wisteria at the farm was in bloom and created an amazing backdrop for their wedding day!

Congratulations to Brittnay & Edgar!

(one more time..... I can't get over that dress!)

Photoshoot: Alice In Wonderland

Holy cow! I haven't blogged in a couple weeks, and it is because I have been busy with weddings! Since my last post, we did THREE amazing weddings! I can't wait to post pictures from all of them!

First, we had Brittnay's wedding. Brittnay is a sweet, sweet bride who got married at Fair Weather Farms. The one thing about Brittnay's wedding that was ABSOLUTELY amazing was the fact that she wore her mother-in-law's dress! And this dress was UNBELIEVABLE! I can't believe (1) how gorgeous this dress was, (2) the incredible condition the dress was in, and (3) the way it fit Brittnay like a glove.

Then, we had Sarah's wedding. Sarah is a gorgeous girl with big brown eyes and long red curls. Her wedding also took place at Fair Weather Farms. Besides the fact that Sarah was so sweet, I was so excited to work on her wedding because we incorporated tons of cotton... I am talking about cotton in the pod... on branches... fabulous.

Finally, we had Casey's wedding. Casey is an amazing chic gal that reminded me so much of Kelly from Real Housewives of New York City. Her wedding was so incredibly modern with touches of feathers. Her ceremony and reception took place at the incredible new venue, Ventanas, in Atlanta. I feel like EVERYONE is talking about this location, and for those of you who haven't seen it... it is worth talking about.

As soon as I have pictures from these lovely weddings, I will post them here! Also... do you just love the picture for today's post? This was from the La Bam wedding show I participated in back in March. At the show, Ashley from Wedding Lust Event Design came up with this ADORABLE idea for us to place pansies in brightly colored tea cups for each guest for her 'Alice in Wonderland' tablescape. I just love love love this idea! She is so creative!
