Tiffany and Robert of Rustic White Photography photographed this special day, showcasing the vibrant fuchsia florals, the geometric gold design elements, and the fun and functional lounge area. We adored the playful and elegant florals crafted by Victory Blooms, and we absolutely loved the drapery gateway courtesy of Crush Event Rentals leading into the lounge area from the dance floor.

The day was graced with lavender, peach, cream, and natural tones with touches of silver courtesy of Southern Stems as these two lovebirds said After a heartfelt ceremony complete with a tree planting ceremony, guests enjoyed lawn games and danced the night away alongside the guests of honor. The mother/son dance and father/daughter dance were incredibly special to watch, and the bride and groom’s first dance captured the joy and peace they bring out in one another. The Maid of Honor, Alexis’s sister, and the Best Man, Ryan’s friend, represented the essence of their relationship so nicely in their toasts to the new Mr. and Mrs., and it was clear that everyone in attendance was thrilled to witness such a perfect union.

As wedding planners, it makes sense that we LOVE endearing wedding dress shops like The White Magnolia in Buckhead. We were so honored that their team asked us to be a featured vendor at their January Sip & See, as we love our partnership with the shop and many of our brides have gotten their dresses there. The purpose of the event is for brides to come see the boutique’s inventory with champagne in hand to get a better idea of what the shop has to offer before setting up a bridal appointment. To all the brides out there – if you are looking for the perfect gown, we recommend making a visit to The White Magnolia, and there will be another Sip & See in February.

I have a special place in my heart for church weddings, and I loved that Kate & Rob’s story started at the one they chose for their wedding day. ’s mom to finalize all of their gorgeous details and decor at one of our favorite spots, The Stave Room. I loved Kate’s classic invitations, which we styled in a whimsical way to reflect the bride’s style (even including an Italy stamp- where the couple spent their honeymoon! ). The church and the reception room really couldn’t have looked more magical thanks to the artistry of Jacki at Stylish Stems.
