An Amazingly Beautful Year...2012!

 

This was one of Ciao Bella Weddings' most amazing years to date.  We have made long lasting connections with amazing couples and took part in making their wedding a unique experience for both the couple and their guests.  Our year in rewind...

We started off the year with an amazing partnership with Glendalough Manor as one of their preferred floral vendors.

In January, we designed an amazing reception including two estate tables seating 100 guests each!  What a statement they made!!!

In February, one of my favorite wedding photographers Melissa Prosser, entrusted us with her Wizard of Oz themed wedding (complete with Emerald City) at King Plow.

In March, we participated as the sponsoring flora/eventl designer for the WOW Wedding giveaway for our first same sex commitment ceremony at East Andrews

In April, we were contacted by the set directors for an upcoming comedy, Adult Children of Divorce with Amy Poehler, filmed here in Atlanta to stage some of the designs for three different wedding scenes.  It was super exciting to be on set!!!

Starting in May, we kicked off a very busy wedding season working at some of Atlanta's most amazing venues.  These venues included Glendalough Manor, Lambert Place, Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, Piedmont Tent & Gardens, The Peachtree Club, The Retreat at Perimeter Summit, The Fox Theatre, The Defoor Center, The Old Courthouse on the Square, King Plow, a private estate in North Georgia and TWELVE Hotel.

During all this, we still snuck in a surprise week long trip to Disney World for my daughter's 9th birthday staying at the Nickelodeon Suites and Resorts...too cool!  I received the coolest mom of the year award for that one!!

Designed a Hawaiian Luau themed birthday party for a super cool 12 year old!

 

Nothing can top the privilege of designing my best friend of 18 years wedding this October.  Not only did I design the wedding, I was also a bridesmaid!!!!  It was an experience like none other and I would do it all over again.  I am sure she and her hubby would say something completely different!!!

Over thirty amazing weddings this year and we are so grateful to have had the chance to work with all of our wonderful clients, their families, and amazing vendors in 2012.  We can only thank God for all His many wonderful blessings.  Here's to a fabulous year and all that is in store for us in 2013!  We hope to meet you along this new journey!

Ciao...for now!
