Debbie & Jason - The Gardens at Great Oaks

Here's a dreamy sneak peek set of images from Debbie and Jason's wedding at The Gardens at Greak Oaks.  The beautiful manor house of an old sorghum, corn and wheat plantation in Roswell, this venue is the perfect backdrop for an intimate and nostalgic wedding.

 Debbie provided most of the vessels for her centerpiece collections.  Borrowed from family and friends along with some lovely antique shop discoveries, the vintage vases held bright and textural flowers.  Red garden roses, orange ranunculus, dahlias, berries, sea thistle, celosia, and scabiosa combined for a bright and bold color palette.

Stay tuned for more of these beautiful images courtesy of Hollie Lytle Photography.

Following Up on Stuff...

It has been a crazy busy year thus far, but I finally have the chance to follow up on all the great things that have happened!

Back in February (yes! I'm going back to February!) we participated in "the Not Wedding" which was held at The Foundry at Puritan Mill. The Not Wedding is what I like to think of as the coolest bridal show in town. Brides-to-be and their guests were treated to a 'mock' wedding ceremony and reception. Four real couples performed a rockin' choreographed entrance with the 'brides' wearing the latest gowns from Heidi Elnora (of Project Runway fame). A hip-hop dj 'married' the couples and then invited guests to experience four fabulously inpired and enchanting wedding receptions. There was food, drink, music, a photobooth and even "favors" (awesome swag bags). The entire event was hosted by Atlanta Occasions Magazine.


bloom was the designer/host of the 'vintage chic' environment along with Talk of the Town Catering, Mirabel Press, and Tasty Pastry. Within each lusciously lighted and draped 20' x 20' space, guests were able to see the handiwork of many talented wedding vendors - caterers, stationers, cake bakers and floral and event designers. The entire event was photographed by Lytlephoto.

Before the event got underway, Holly photographed the couples at various spots near The Foundry. Here are some of my favorites.

My "couple" is the one with the 'bride' in the short gown. And yes, it was pink! More photos of our couple, let's call them Cathy & David, in the next post. Close-ups and stuff like that...
