Anna & Jacoby // Decatur Courthouse

In this sweltering July heat, I thought it would be nice and refreshing to view some images from a wintry January wedding.  It had just snowed earlier that week and in some of the pre-wedding photos taken at Woodlands Garden, you can see the white stuff on the ground. 

The bridesmaids wore silver and grey gowns wrapped with sweet plaid shawls and carried foliage bouquets.

Anna's bouquet was all foliage as well.  Olive and various types of eucalyptus and dusty miller foliage.

Gorgeous!

Jacoby wore a suit of dark green which complemented the grey and the foliage bouquets perfectly.

A tapestry backdrop and black aisle runner look stunning in the Courthouse.  Garlands of tree fern, eucalyptus, and lemon leaf lined the aisle.

Rosegold votives and octagonal terrariums adorned the sills and the tables.

The long estate table was quite majestic and grey linens always coordinate well with the white all-marble courtroom.

And WOW! A spectacular black/gold wedding cake.  

Each wedding we do is truly a unique expression of the couple.  

Well done  Anna & Jacoby!

Dana & Will - Decatur Courthouse

Another classic Decatur wedding!

Aisle decor of silk petals (no real petals are allowed in the Courthouse) and candles.

Bridesmaids bouquets of dusty miller and standard mums.  Simple and elegant.

Bridal bouquet of white peonies, white standard mums, white ranunculus, and purple roses.  Bouquet handle adorned with a sparkly brooch that matched the sash of the bride's gown.

Pretty maids all in row.

Dana and her bouquet.  She was so incredibly laid back on her wedding day.

Mother's corsage of white ranunculus, purple spray rose, purple hyacinth and dusty miller.

Gorgeous cake!

Niche arrangement of purple gladiolas.

And here's my favorite photo of the day - giant octopus arrives at the wedding on a pirate ship!  (Actually it was the Decatur Beach Party that day - all kinds of inflatables surrounded the Courthouse!)

Monica & Travis and the cutest flower girl ever...

With a touch of sparkle, Monica and Travis were wed at  Country Club of the South.
A color palette of cream, grey and green came alive with stock, ranunculus, brunia berry, succulents, scabiosa pods, dusty miller, supergreen roses and dianthus.

I always love this type of bouquet shot.

And this, perhaps, is the cutest flower girl I have ever seen with a sweet halo of spray roses and brunia berry.

Table centerpieces were nestled in copper mercury glass vases and footed bowls.

And yes, it was an Auburn marries Georgia affair.

Oh my goodness...she is adorable.

Sigh...

Of course, the country club getaway is a golf cart!  All photos courtesy of 375 Photography.

Melanie & Jeremy in Decatur

As I live and work in Decatur, I'm always happy to meet newly engaged couples who believe that Decatur is totally awesome and a great place to get married.  And they further believe that "keeping it local" is the best way to do business.

Melanie and Jeremy chose The Courthouse on the Square and Wahoo! restaurant for their wedding day.  Two wonderful wedding/event venues in the city.

Melanie's color palette was soft grey, ivory and shades of yellow.  Here she carries down the aisle escorted by her mom, a bouquet of dahlias, button mums, yellow garden roses, stock, spray aster and dusty miller.

The sign-in book was located in the lobby of the Courthouse.

Gorgeous grey dresses on the bridesmaids and beautiful beaded floral necklaces.

Melanie and Jeremy saw each other before the ceremony so that they could spend more time with their guests after.  She actually didn't pin on the boutonniere, I did - but it makes a cute photo!

Close family members each received a flower in their seat at the start of the ceremony.  Later, they added the stems to a vase at the "altar" creating a 'family bouquet' - symbolizing the coming together of the two families.

  

 Table decor at Wahoo consisted of clusters of vintage vases filled with garden roses, queen anne's lace, spray aster, billy balls, mint, rosemary, chamomile, stock, football mums, ranunculus and dusty miller.

 

The escort table was set with individual favor vases that each guest collected and took to their assigned table, contributing to the centerpiece floral display.

 

A sweet and intimate Decatur wedding.  Congratulations Melanie and Jeremy!
