Brittany and Chris were one of the sweetest couples I had the pleasure of working with.  Their wedding was filled with southern, rustic charm and a fantastic celebration.   

Every couple should have a bridal party as carefree and happy.  Everyone was so excited to celebrate with these two. 

Guests were treated to a wonderful dessert display filled with an assortment of cake, cookies, brownies and candy.  Love is sweet.

FaTasha and Brandon wanted an elegant wedding surrounded by friends and family.   We spent months working on details and picking vendors who could bring their vision to life. The result was a colorful and fun wedding.

FaTasha was such a happy bride; she was glowing on her wedding day!

The day started with a lovely outdoor ceremony at Cheekwood gardens.  

Afterward, everyone gathered at Hutton Hotel for an the reception.  Dark navy linens were complemented by tall vases of white orchids.

We placed the amazing 5 tier wedding cake in the center of the dance floor when guests entered the ballroom. The icing details looked like lace and white roses.

The florals were lots of lush flowers with stunning pops of red roses and protea.

Lisa and Mike had known each other since they were young.  So when they decided to tie the knot, this intimate summer gathering was destined to be beautiful.

The ceremony was held in the gardens at The Cordelle.  

After cocktails on the patio, guests were greeted by a colorful, summer reception inside.   The tables had champagne linens with alternating napkins.  Lanterns and hobnail vases filled with beautiful roses filled each table.

I knew from the first moment I met Kym and Ben just how much fun their wedding was going to be.  They had some amazing ideas for DIY projects and wanted to incorporate a lot of their personality into the day.  

Kym's outfit was a combination of vintage style pieces and fun, quirky pieces.  Look at her cat shoes!

Each bridesmaid wore a unique mismatched dress with a gold detail and carried gold lanterns. 

For the groom and groomsmen, the couple chose custom bow ties with each ones favorite super hero.  Kym then created custom boutonnieres from the matching comic book.  Such a fun way to add personality!

In addition, the bride crafted 8ft tall trees covered in pages from books and her own bouquet from paper flowers.  Signs were placed around the room with quotes from their favorite movies, TV shows and books. 

The custom program matched the stationery.  Guests signed this red & white quilt when entering.  Little bags of lavender were given out to be thrown as the bride and groom left.  In addition to dessert from the Loveless, the bride and groom had a chocolate cake with little wooden Spiderman toppers.

The couple and bridal party had a lot of fun with photos before the ceremony.
