Have you picked up the newest issue of Weddings Unveiled yet?  Pretty pretty!  Including this shoot we had the pelasure of working on with the talented Rylee Hitchner.  Always such a treat.To see more images from this shoot, hop on over to Style Me Pretty!  Love.

“We covered the table with an old schoolhouse chalkboard, complete with cracks and scribbles to mimic the night’s sky dotted with sparkly mercury glass votives. The beauty of having a dark backdrop allows for all the colors, particularly the flowers, to really glow. Amy Osaba collected some wintery branches with dried leaves to add a coppery touch to her arrangements. Never underestimate the beauty of what you can forage during the winter. Dried leaves, seeds, and pods add textural variety and movement to any arrangement.” 

It’s the best feeling to be a part of something truly beautiful.  Just like this shoot.  A dream team of ladies who come together and this magic happens.  And so thrilled that Snippet & Ink thought so, too!  Visit their beautiful blog to see the rest of this shoot…Photographer: Ali Harper / Styling: Ginny Branch / Floral Design: Amy Osaba / Recipe Concepts and Food Styling: Alison Leuker / Hair & Makeup: Claudia Mejerle / Dress: Ivy & Aster / Invitation: Bella Figura

To piggyback on Tuesday’s gorgeous wedding, we thought you may enjoy Jeni + Justin’s colorful Rehearsal Fiesta!  Yes, a fiesta!  Packed with lots of bright, Mexican-inspired colors, fun and colorful vessels and random little knick knacks, Mexican paper banners (to match their adorable invitations), and all of the necessary fixin’s for a good time, Jeni + Justin started their big weekend off with a bang.  If you didn’t catch their beautiful wedding you can see the whole post here.

Hope everyone had a lovely Labor Day weekend!  As we gear up to get back into the swing of fall wedding season, we wanted to share this pretty wedding of Hayley + Chris at Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church.  Hayley asked us to create her bridal party flowers using bright colors and petite little succulents.  To see more photos of this wedding be sure to visit Michelle Scott Photography’s blog for many more beautiful shots of their big day.  Enjoy!

Anne + Thomas had a lovely, lovely wedding in Anne’s quaint hometown of Tifton, Georgia.  The ceremony took place at the First United Methodist Church of Tifton, the reception in her parents pretty backyard, backing right up to a lake.  Anne’s dad is a big collector of antique cars, so not only did they have their pick of getaway cars but we got the coolest workspace ever!  And would you take a look at that cake by Sharon of Sweet Sensations – sugar flowers galore!  So beautiful, and to match all of Anne’s favorite flowers we used in the decor.  The lovely day was all tied together by Caroline Carter Events and photographed by David Christensen Photography.  Hair and makeup by our good friend, the one and only Raney O’Keefe.  Guests danced the night away to the sounds of Super T! (the same band who serenaded the wedding of Jenna Bush!).  Catering by Epting Events, rentals by Beachview Tent Rentals and Ooh! Events.  Thank you Anne + Patti for letting us be a part of this special wedding!  It was truly a pleasure getting to know you both!! 

 Congratulations Anne + Thomas!!!

Tracey + Brian’s gorgeous Georgian Terrace wedding was a true pleasure to work on from start to finish.  A real labor of love.  Tracey and her mom Karen quickly became friends as we coordinated for months leading up to the wedding making sure every detail was just right.  With all of our powers combined we worked on everything for their wedding from invitations to flowers, and lots of little things in between.  Carla Gates so beautifully captured the details, from the hair + makeup artistry of our good friend Raney O’Keefe to the invitations designed by Erica.  Spring weddings have to be one of our favorites – just take a look at this color palette.  Pretty sherbet tones, flowering branch.  Yum!  Thank you so much Tracey + Brian for letting us be a part of your big day! Congratulations Tracey + Brian!

We have long awaited sharing Anne + Mike’s gorgeous, gorgeous wedding at the Atlanta Freight Depot.  Anne is one of Amy’s dearest friends, so today’s post comes from Amy herself ::

Anne is one of my sweetest, dearest friends. I admire her for so many things: her loyalty, her love of God, and her wisdom, among many others. She is one of those people that will be in your life forever and you just know it. I simply adore her. I used to teach her ballet when she was in the 8th grade, so to be a part of her wedding was a complete honor for me. To watch her carefully wait for the man she was supposed to marry and then to meet Mr. Mike – well, it was like my own child was getting married. Mike is such a wonderful man for my sweet Anne, and I am forever grateful for their friendship. This was an absolute labor of love for Erica and I. Erica designed the fabulous invitation suite and did all the letterpress herself. Gorgeousness. This was also my first time working with the talented Tec Petaja. He truly is amazing. Just look at these images… Congratulations Anne + Mike!  We love you!

We had the pleasure of working with Erin and her mom Lisa for months brainstorming the perfect combination of all things pretty and vintage for her wedding.  Barnsley Gardens looked as it never had before :: so many cute vintage pieces from Lisa’s shop, bright and colorful flowers all around, oodles of heirloom pumpkins, and a stunning bride.  We love every opportunity to work with all different colors and textures of flowers.  A-Town A-List kept all of the guests on the dance floor until the very end of the night.  Thank you to Leslie Walker for the gorgeous images (see more photos here and here on her blog!).  Thank you Erin + Lisa for being such a pleasure.  Congratulations Erin + Danny!And check out the full feature on Style Me Pretty!

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!

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…

Nadia + Craig had one of the most fun weddings… ever.  Carnival games, a pig roast (thanks to Avalon Catering), a Morelli’s gourmet ice cream cart, huge and awesome balloons?  So awesome.  They knew exactly what the feel of their wedding should be to truly represent them as a couple.  And we were so excited to be a part of it, getting to use every color of the rainbow in flowers and vessels (and balloons!).  Erin Stroup did an incredible job bringing all of the fun pieces together, making the day as seamless as it was colorful and fun.  And we were sure glad to have Kyle Hale to capture every bit of it.  And what awesome wedding could be without the Smilebooth?  Congratulations Nadia + Craig!  We couldn’t be happier for you.  Thanks for letting us have so much fun!Other vendors involved :: vintage furniture rentals by Four Inch Fold, lighting by the one and only Roy at Unique Event Management, and The Cake Hag.

So excited to share this wedding with you.  *Seriously* a gorgeous wedding, chock full of cute details.  Thanks to all of the beautiful images from Gina Zeidler, it was nearly impossible to pare them down to include only what you see below!  And if you haven’t already, go pick up your copy of the current Southern Weddings Magazine to see lots, lots more.  

When Camille asked us to be a part of her wedding I was so touched.  I mean, she is an incredible photographer (see more of her gorgeous work here).  She is so sweet and was also kind enough to photograph my son’s birthday party last year.  From the moment she started to describe her vision and inspiration, we just knew.  We always love the opportunity to use all of these fun colors of flowers!  And not only did we do the flowers, but Erica designed and handmade the most amazing invitations you have ever seen… and not to mention the yard games signs, placecards, cutout cake sign… Yes, she is extremely talented!  

Every little detail.  Just gorgeous!  Surrounded by only a handful of their closest family, Camille + Mark had a beautiful, intimate wedding at Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, North Carolina (they even had the farm table made to just the right size to perfectly fit their family). 

Hope you enjoy!

Congratulations Camille + Mark!  We wish you lots of happy moments to come…

A big shout out to the lovely Ginny Branch for all of her help with this wedding.  We’re some lucky gals to not only share a studio space with her but also to call her a friend.

Michelle and Shahar.  What a beautiful wedding to kick off our new blog!  Michelle came to us with such adoration and beautiful ideas.  We were so thrilled to do her wedding at the always-inspiring Serenbe on a beautiful summer night.  And we always love doing a wedding where we love all of the other vendors :: as always, Heidi blew us away with the yummy photos.  She never ceases to amaze us.  Sun in My Belly, Smilebooth (you can see those images here), DJ Mike Zarin, and Wages Films (see their wedding video here!), all collaborated to make their day truly memorable.  This just turned out to be such a pretty wedding and we are thrilled to show you.  Oh!  And would you just look at how gorgeous Michelle’s BHLDN dress is!?  Lovely, lovely, lovely… 

Congratulations Michelle + Shahar!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness…

Hop on over to Style Me Pretty to see the gorgeous wedding of Amy + Rick at Ventanas this summer. Thanks to Alan Friedman for capturing all of the loveliness, Sashay for coordinating the details, Sterling Cinematics for making an awesome video, and Amy + Rick for being a pure joy to work with. Mazel Tov, Y’all!

Laurie + Greg’s wedding was, in a word, magical. The Fox Theatre makes for such a dramatic setting, so I knew the flowers needed to pack some major punch! We decided to play up the Moroccan style of the theatre by using antique brass vessels mixed with lanterns and glass, which looked beautiful paired with the bright, bold flowers. I do love working with a bride who is not afraid of color! And those peonies…oh, those peonies!

Many thanks to Anna & Spencer Photography for the stunning photographs – I have to say, my jaw dropped to the floor when I first saw these photos. Like I said, magical. Hope you enjoy!

Julie + Andy wanted the design of their wedding to be both rustic and elegant, just like their gorgeous venue, the Ritz Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation. It was a beautiful day, and the chuppah we created for the ceremony is one of my favorites to date. Many thanks to Adam of W. Scott Chester Photography for capturing the beauty of this wedding in such a special way.

Congrats Julie + Andy!

When Max at Sun in My Belly asked me to put together a creative installation for the cafe’s summer season, I jumped at the opportunity. My team and I got busy creating large paper flowers (each individually hand-painted by Erica) and fringe – lots and lots of fringe! Not only did it create a bright and happy atmosphere for the summer months, but also provided the perfect backdrop for the NotWedding “rehearsal dinner,” which was recently featured on Occasions Magazine’s blog. And today (!) on Green Wedding Shoes!

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the NotWedding, it is an awesome alternative to a bridal show, because it is just like attending a real wedding, with loads of inspiration and top-notch vendors bringing their A-game. The rehearsal dinner was a mixer and planning session for all the vendors involved, and everyone left super excited for the main event!

Over the next few months, make sure you stop by for breakfast or lunch at Sun in My Belly and check out the installation, and of course, make your plans to attend the NotWedding on July 21st. (By the way, did you check out the adorable engagement shoot??) See you there!

So excited to be a part of the Not Wedding again this year. It was such a great experience for me last time, and I am just thrilled. Lauren of Once Like a Spark asked me to do flowers for the adorable engagement shoot – all of which I picked right out of my mom’s garden! Check out the whole shoot today over on 100 Layer Cake. This is going to be a really awesome event – tickets are going fast, so be sure to buy yours soon! And food by Sun in My Belly!

Andrea & Thad are the most adorable couple, and I had soooooo much fun bringing their vision to life at one of my favorite venues. I knew as soon as we started talking about hanging floral installations, combined with the crafting genius of Ashley Meaders, that this was going to be one awesome wedding! Many thanks to Our Labor of Love for capturing all the details so beautifully, and to Bold American for providing the catering. Even the Smilebooth was there! Seriously, I am so honored to be able to work with these amazing vendors.

Congratulations Andrea & Thad!
