Erin and Blake, part 2

Now, for all the hot pink....

I love this image of all the ladies fixing Erin's dress so she can have a perfect portrait on the steps of the Decatur Courthouse. She's a light of calm in a fury of blue.

Bridesmaids bouquets were hot pink roses, hot pink hydrangea, pink ranunculus, pink hypericum berries and gardenia leaves. These were also wrapped with ti leaves and hot pink pins.

Table centerpieces were all hot pink with a ti leaf wrapped around the outside of the vase.

Smaller table centerpieces were round bubble bowls with a ti leaf wrapped on the inside and hot pink flowers on top.

Here you can see all the shades of pink - hydrangeas, berries, roses, carnations, spray roses, etc.

Sweet guest book arrangement.

Two very tall cylinder vase arrangements flanked the vow site. Erin and Blake rented the cylinder vases from me and at the end of the night, they removed the top part and took that home with them. (Well, the wedding coordinator did that actually...)

Rose petals covered the palladian window ledges.

The center window ledge had a shorter version of the cylinder vases. The hot pink flowers really added a pop of color to the all white marble courtroom.

Stay tuned...lots more!

Villa Christina

This past weekend's wedding was at the lovely Villa Christina restaurant located on Ashford-Dunwoody Road. They have a beautiful outdoor setting with a manicured lawn, lush landscaping, waterfalls and extra large umbrellas to cover your seated guests! Wendy lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous evening - almost no humidity and some gentle breezes!

We had some fun and created three heart shapes of yellow rose petals down the aisle.

Ceremony arrangements of bluish/purple hydrangeas, sunflowers, light blue delphinium and bells of ireland flanked the vow site.

Each guest received either a purple or yellow paper fan on their seat. The fans were printed with the guest's name and where they were to be seated at the reception. Fortunately the fans were more of a souvenir than a necessary item since the weather was perfect!

The hydrangeas were just exceptionally stunning - some of the largest blooms I've ever seen. And the color variation within each bloom was amazing! Wendy's bouquet was one large hydrangea bloom with yellow mini cymbidium orchids and yellow freesia tucked in.

The boutonnieres for the fathers - simple and elegant.

The groom's boutonniere. Yellow cymbidium orchid and delphinium blooms.

The lovely Ma'Shanda Harrison-Butler of August Moon Events was the event coordinator that evening along with photographers Ernie and Chris Russell.

As always - professional shots to come!
