Brittany + William had a lovely wedding at the beautiful Foxhall Resort.  The perfect kind of day – clear skies and the perfect temperature to be outside around the fire.  We constructed an arch to frame the stunning view of acres upon acres of manicured lawns.  Really, the resort is just so beautiful.  We designed her bouquet to lie on top of a family Bible that had been used by generations of brides in Brittany’s family.  Both Brittany and her mother were so sweet to work with, and we couldn’t be happier to have been a part of their big day.  We have actually had the pleasure of working with the talented Brittany before.  She is a photographer with 6 of Four, who also captured all of these lovely images below.  And with Sun in My Belly catering, we’re left with such fond memories of their special day.  Congratulations Brittany + Will!

We are so pleased to see Erin + Danny’s gorgeous Barnsley Gardens wedding featured today on Style Me Pretty!  Click here to see the full post (and don’t forget to click on the gallery!), and be sure to check back soon – we’ll be featuring the whole wedding with lots of pretty flower details here on our blog.

Jen + Mike were just the sweetest couple, their wedding being nothing short of a true reflection of their love for one another.  Jen really loved the feel of a lazy summer afternoon at the lake, wanting to extend that vibe to all of their guests.  A little bit rustic, a little bit of preppy, and a lot of romantic.  The feeling of enchanted evenings on West Egg inspired us to suspend the flowers from above :: “There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”  Thank you to Scobey Photography for capturing everything so beautifully (and being such a pleasure to work with!), and thank you so much Jen + Mike for letting us be a part of your special day!All of the vendors involved :: Event Planner: Amanda Dana with Ashley Baber Weddings // Ceremony and Reception Location: Lake Rabun Pavillion // Photography: Scobey Photography // Floral + Decor: Us! // Catering: Sun in My Belly // Bride’s Hair and Makeup: Raney O’Keefe

Let us count the ways we loooove our studio at The Goat Farm.  Gosh.  From the moment we first saw it we just knew it was the perfect place for us.  It is so incredibly inspiring and continues to change with the light and the seasons.  We never know what will be happening day to day :: there may be a film crew, a nude photo shoot (oh yes, we have stumbled upon several), a street truck food fair … really, you just never know!  Spaces that once manufactured cotton gins are now occupied by an array of over 300 artists :: chefs, photographers, metalsmiths, set designers, painters, musicians, dancers (award-winning gloATL), and us!  There is an organic farm, a awesome little cafe (they roast their own beans and brew their own beer!), a huge studio for contemporary dance, and an education center for youth-based creative programs.  And yes! – There are lots of goats (and chickens, and a big ol’ pig named Olivia)!  To read more about The Goat Farm, visit their Facebook page, and definitely check out the event schedule.  There is always something going on.  Ohhhhh – and have you heard about PushStart Kitchen?!  And one of the very best parts about our studio at the Goat Farm is that we share it with Ginny Branch, stylist extraordinaire.  We love her dearly; her smiling face makes every moment we’re there just a little bit brighter.  If you haven’t already you have to check out her What’s in Your Toolbox column on Design*Sponge.  You’ll be seeing many more exciting things that we’re collaborating with Ginny on in the near future…You may remember our Indian Summer workshop we hosted this past summer in our studio with Ginny!  For more photos of that see the whole feature on 100 Layer Cake.We also did the whole Peaches and Cream photo shoot for Martha Stewart’s ”The Bride’s Guide” at the Goat Farm, photographed by one of our favorite gals Heidi Geldhauser.You also may have heard of the totally awesome sold-out Scoutmob Halloween party held at the Goat Farm this past year!  Atlanta Magazine included the Goat Farm on their “Best of Atlanta 2011” roundup, also spotlighting yours truly (see our press page to view the article)!So we obviously just can’t say enough good stuff about our love for The Goat Farm.  You’ll just have to see it for yourself.  Next time you’re in our neck of the woods, please stop by and say hello!

Ohhhh Kelly + Drew.  One of the sweetest couples we have had the pleasure of working with, whose love for one another rubs off on everyone around them.  (You may remember seeing their adorable engagement shoot here!)  From the moment we met it was a match made in heaven.  Kelly was one of those dream clients who trusted us completely.  For that we are always grateful.  Bold chevrons, sherbet gradients (the table linens, the bridesmaids dresses, table numbers!), huge balloons … we had such a ball!  Scott Chester was there to capture all of the gorgeous details, all of which were coordinated by Ashley Baber.  The one and only Sun in My Belly catered.  Cator Woolford Gardens was just glowing.  Congratulations Kelly + Drew!  We wish you all the best…

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY OF WHAT YOU MAY BE DOING : :

flowers!   ♥   schlepping (sorry, just part of the job!)   ♥   sweeping the floor   ♥   painstakingly cutting out 300 placecards   ♥   working behind the scenes of a wedding   ♥   organizing the studio   ♥   making 2000 feet of fabric garlands   ♥   *some heavy lifting   ♥   being an extra set of hands for photo shoots + events

*THIS IS NOT A PAID POSITION. HOWEVER (!), SOME PERKS INCLUDE : :

getting to take home flowers after events   ♥   dinners/meals while working   ♥   working with some of the coolest wedding vendors in town   ♥   hands-on, invaluable, creative experience   ♥   learning how to arrange flowers ao style!

We would like to find someone who has flexible availability (obviously most weddings are on the weekends, and most of the production happens toward the end of the week); a car to schlep around town, or to get to/from events; a design background/interest; and, above all, a positive attitude, good energy, and knows how to be a team player. Someone who is not afraid to sweep the floor (and to see when those things need to be done). And every bit of crafting skills are welcomed, too!

Please browse through our website + blog to get a good feel for everything we do. If this sounds like your cup of tea, please send us an email at hello@amyosaba.com to set up an interview. We would love to meet you!
