Chelsea and Jason | Glendalough Manor, Tyrone, GA

Have you ever met a family and thought the sweetness must run rampant through their genealogy? Well the Lewis family definitely has the "sweetness" gene! Chelsea was such a great bride to work with. Initially meeting with us before she had an idea of what she wanted her wedding day to look like, we were able to assist her in finding the vision for her day. It was definitely a lovely one. Chelsea chose a silvery blue hue for the bridesmaids floor length chiffon gowns and wanted to incorporate radiant orchid into their bouquets for just a pop of color. She went with a classic design of white hydrangeas for her centerpieces enhanced with a gold pedestal vase. It was definitely a sweet design, to match her personality.

Chelsea carried a romantic rounded bouquet of ivory spray roses, tulips, and garden roses accented with pearls.

The bridesmaid's bouquets consisted of hydrangeas, garden roses, tulips, scabiosa pods, seeded eucalyptus, and silvery dusty miller.

How adorable is this sweet kiss from the ring bearer. He definitely was a show stealer!

Chelsea;s smile is just so radiant and matches her personality perfectly.

Jason walks away from the ceremony like a boss!

You can definitely tell he's happy!!! I just adore the love between these two!

The bridal party were seated at an estate table accented with elevated arrangement of white hydrangeas atop gold pedestal vaaes. The guests table centerpieces alternated between gold candelabras and floral centerpieces.

The couple chose a traditional four tiered cake with a rose cake topper.

Peonies in October

Who said you can't have peonies in October? Certainly not us!!! If you are in Atlanta (like we are), they have to be shipped in from across the world but that's just a minor detail! For Gabby's English Garden Inspired wedding we created a loose bouquet of amazingly gorgeous blooms including garden roses, dahlias, South American roses, dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus, Queen Anne's lace and yes, peonies! That massive flower in her bouquet are Coral Charm peonies. It had to be at least 6 inches in diameter and a true, rich coral tone. We can't wait to share more amazing images from Stephanie Hamlet Photography with you!

Wedding Crush Wednesday | Kristen and Michael - The City Club of Buckhead Atlanta

Kristen is the ultimate fashionista and Michael has the kindest spirit you can ever imagine. When I met with Kristen and her mom for the first time, I knew this was an event that I wanted to be apart of! They picked the most amazing linens from I Do Linens and Tabletoppers so I had a great canvas to start with. With the backdrop of the City Club of Buckhead and planner extraordinaire Gail Johnson, this was a wedding for the stars!

Kristen wanted the guests to be "wowed" as they exited the elevator into the reception space. We created this cascading arrangement of gold monstera leaves, long stemmed calla lilies, hydrangeas, roses, and the brides favorite tulips on the clubs foyer table. When lit by candlelight, this was definitely a way to say welcome!!!

The City Club of Buckhead has such character and we stayed true to that by not covering their decorative pieces with linen. T-eveniere Stationery Boutique designed the escort cards with the couple's motif.

The couple had a muted color palette of champagne, gold, ivory and blush which accented the architecture of the City Club of Buckhead perfectly!

The newlyweds were seated at a table for two dressed in floor length blush sequin linen. The tabletop was accented with gold pillar candles and petite arrangement of hydrangeas, roses, tulips and dusty miller in mercury glass.

The bride was "sitting pretty" in this embellished organza chair cover accented with a ruffled tulle skirt from I Do Linens!

And the groom's cover to match, without the tulle skirt of course!!

The bridesmaid's bouquets served double duty, accenting the submerged white dendrobium centerpieces.

The views of the city were amazing as the sun begin to set!

The after party commenced on the 19th floor with scenic view of the Atlanta skyline.

A vinyl decal of the couple's initials was added to the glass for a classic touch!

We are wishing Kristen and Michael an eternity of marital bliss! We can't wait to share more of this amazing wedding with you!!!

Stephanie + Josh | A Lush Blush Garden Wedding

I knew from the first consultation with Stephanie and her mom, that this wedding was going to be amazing. Talk about a bride with a vision....Stephanie knew EXACTLY what she wanted. She even purchased the amazing crystal globes featured on the escort card table 3 years before she was even engaged!!! The blush and ivory color palette was perfect for their garden ceremony and ballroom reception. As soon as the guests entered into the ballroom, a grand estate table with lush flora and candles of varying heights was the perfect focal point. That was only one aspect of the absolute gorgeousness that blanketed the entire wedding day!!
