Brigid & Matt - A Classy BBQ


I just love Decatur weddings!

This one began at St. Thomas More Catholic Church.  Brigid requested an elegant and simple bridal bouquet.  She loves asiatica lilies, which aren't used very much lately in bridal bouquets, so I was completely on board to do something different.


White asiatic lilies, white agapanthus and green pittosporum combined for a classic look.  The agapanthus are like millions of little lilies in one bloom!   She also wanted a loosely gathered design, not something symmetrical.  And her dress - gorgeous!

The bridesmaids held similar bouquets, just a bit smaller.  I love the sparkle of the blue/grey dresses.



Matt looked dashing in his tux with a ranunculus and agapanthus boutonniere.



After the ceremony and photos, the newly married couple walked down the street to The Marlay, an Irish Pub, to celebrate together with a pint of  Guinness!  

Then it was on to the Old Courthouse on the Square, one of Decatur's most popular wedding venues. 
Grey linens combined with mercury glass vases complemented the marble courtroom reception area beautifully.  It was very classic and elegant - but with a little twist.  The reception was catered by
Fox Bros. BBQ.    It's your day - do it your way!




Two different designs were used for centerpieces - a collection of clear glass vintage style bottles and lanterns with flowers surrounding the base.  




Reception flowers included lilies, agapanthus, snowy jewel roses, tulips,  ranunculus, and light blue tweedia with foliage accents of green pittosporum.  

Brigid and Matt are dancing off to a good start in their new life together!

Katie & Scott at The Solarium in Oakhurst

 The Solarium in Oakhurst is an excellent venue for a ceremony and/or reception.  Or a rehearsal dinner, for that matter!   I've been promoting this venue ever since it opened.  It is in my neighborhood and I have attended many different types of functions there. 

This sweet little wedding was held in May and the bride was excited to use garden flowers in vintage tins and mason jars that she had collected. 


Bouquets consisted of daisies, roses, scabiosa, hydrangea, mint, astilbe, nerines, button mums and spray roses in a bright colorful mix.






Additional flowers such as sea thistle, tweedia, and cornflower along with ruscus and tree fern completed the summer, gardeny feel for the tables.




On of my favorite containers to use for gardeny, vintage, rustic weddings are old oil lamps.  The bases make very cool table centerpieces.


The groom at this wedding has his own landscape company so we actually bartered a portion of the wedding flower cost.  It's old fashioned, but they got wedding flowers and I've gotten some badly needed yard work done!
