Jessica & William - Classically elegant

Jessica and William's wedding was an elegant, organic, classic beauty.  Just like Jessica!

Take a look at these photos from The Glenn Memorial Chapel and The Old Courthouse on the Square, Decatur.  I have worked with Jessica's mother in the wedding industry and was excited to be able to provide fresh, summery florals for her June wedding.

 Cream and silver bouquets of peonies, stock, dahlias, astilbe, ranunculus, dusty miller and eucalyptus.

 

Jessica and William embraced all their nieces and nephews and had a total of 7 children in the wedding party!  

And each flower girl wore a halo of white tea rose and boxwood.

They also carried sweet little wands that said "hooray"!

Floral clusters of eucalyptus, stock, babies breath and roses tied with cream ribbon beautifully lined the aisle.  I love the checkerboard floor in the Chapel.

Who doesn't love bagpipes at weddings!

Off to the Courthouse in style!

I love the simple niche decor of a eucalyptus and lemonleaf garland and candles.

Table centerpieces were collections of clear glass vessels which held pastel summer blooms.

A nice selection of spirits was available.

Guests names were written on wooden disks nestled in moss for a simple, yet elegant escort plan.

Sweet tiny cupcake desserts.

Love their cake topper with two kitties!

Here's to happily every after!

Decatur Love: Part 1

Amelia and Lain dig Decatur.  

  With a casual get-together Thursday night at The Marlay House, a ladies lunch on Friday at Cakes & Ale, and their Rehearsal Dinner at Victory Sandwich Bar - they treated their wedding guests to the best this little city has to offer.

Looks like someone is impersonating the bride and groom!

Stay tuned as the next post will feature all the hipster details of their wedding ceremony and reception at 

The Old Courthouse on the Square (guess where?) in Decatur.

Oh yeah, Lain just happens to be the nephew of Decatur's Assistant Director of Community and Economic Development - Linda Harris.  As well as the great, great, great grandson of that famous guy from Georgia - Joel Chandler Harris.

Karen - Bridal portrait session

Karen was my first bride to do a pre-wedding day bridal portrait session.  A couple weeks before the big day, I provided a gorgeous bouquet of white peonies which was identical to the one she would use on her wedding day. 

She spent an afternoon at The Old Decatur Courthouse with her photographer Joseph Aczel .  She is relaxed (and gorgeous!), the courtroom is empty and she was able to wear her dress more than one time.  The photos are stunning.  I think it's a good investment.

Decatur Courthouse wedding

In my previous post I included photos of Ashley + Drew's e-session with photography by Adam Nash. 

Make sure to look at those but first, check out these images of their fun wedding day in Decatur at The Old Courthouse on the Square.  I live and work in Decatur so I'm kinda partial...

Love Ashley's short "going away" dress!
