I have been waiting to share this wedding with you guys for a while.  Every time I see these images they just make my heart smile.  I remember how Kia and her mom knew their vision and how much fun we had making all the decisions for the big day.  Every meeting never felt like work, it just felt like you were getting together with friends to create one special party!  I puffy heart them! 

We did not miss one details, from the letterpress invitations with the Atlanta skyline, to the decor and color brightening up Centennial Park for the ceremony, it was truly a fabulous day!

Take a peek of some of these amazing images from Climie and Co.

Last Sunday we participated in the Bridal Extravaganza Atlanta.  Seriously this is the best decision we have done all year!  Not only did we get to see so many smiling faces from our current clients that just came out to experience their first bridal show, but we got to meet so many new clients. We shared with everyone that visited our booth, tips for their big day as well as ideas to take their design to the next level.

Guests were able to try different treats from our dessert bar (pics of those treats to come soon), as well as to win a date night basket and hotel room stay!  Congrats to Courtney Bonones on her win!

When we decided to design our table, we thought about what our client’s would actually incorporate in their big day. We wanted to inspire and inspire BIG, but we wanted to also be practical!

The next day we had the honor of entering NACE Design Trends competition and we won!  YAY!  I mean the competition was FIERCE and we will showcase some of those fabulous tables as well.

Take a looksie…

Thank you to Occasions Magazine for the images!

Thanks Shari Zellers for the picture above!

I had to ask Fatimah several times if she was a model!  I mean her height and her eyes needs to be in a magazine!  I am so grateful that their entire wedding can be found in the current issue of Bridal Guide.  I will share more of that soon.

In the meantime I have to tell you how great it was to work with Fatimah and Jean on their wedding day.  Super laid back and probably did not know what their wedding was going to look like until they walked into Ventanas.  That kind of trust that they had in this team is why we do what we do!

The couple are now expecting their bundle of joy and we continue to pray for their many blessings!

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Yup these engagement pictures do just say a lot.  It shows off how much of a fabulous Diva India is, and how much in love Dom is with his lovely wife to be! The couple decided to do their engagement pictures at the W Midtown which served as a perfect backdrop to a fabulous shoot!

Check out their fabulous feature on Munaluchi Bridal.

We had a blast working on our first wedding over at Montaluce winery.  Julie was a bride that knew what she wanted and gathered all of her details in order to bring her vision to life.  The end result was a fabulous wedding that was true to Julie and James’ personality.

Complete with cute and one of a kind details, everyone danced the night away!

Julie and James were also featured on the Bride’s Cafe HERE and on Essence HERE.

Tyeema is just one of those girls that walks around with a smile on her face.  Even if you had not such great news to share, there was no way you were going to damper her mood.  She just made everyone happy everywhere she went.  Gerik is just amazing and makes sure to take care of Tyeema and be there when she needs him!

They were married this October at Evleven 15 Events, and boy did her crowd party!

I cannot believe it is Friday already. We only have eight more days until we enter the new year. Although time is flying, we could not be any more grateful to make dreams and events come true. We are ready!!

We are bringing to you all of the fabulous couples getting hitched next year so you will be very familiar with them once their wedding day rolls around.  Crystal is our Diva. Everything about her is show stopping and modelesque (pretty sure I just made that word up!). Can’t you just tell by the pictures?

They started out taking pictures around and by Centennial park then ended the perfect day on the rooftop of the Glen Hotel. The transition is color is just amazing!

Check out their love story on Essence.

I never considered it work when working with Melissa and Thea.  Melissa may be one of the sweetest souls I know, that could not even get upset at anyone if she tried. Thea just completes her in every way as they embark on journey after journey together.  Since her mother has affectionately adopted me into the family, be prepared to see this couple a lot more on the blog in the upcoming months!

Melissa began her day getting ready at one of the most gorgeous spa’s in all of Atlanta, Spa Sentio. While the girls took their time to get ready, they sipped on champagne and transformed into fabulous divas. The ceremony took place at the beautiful Christ the King Cathedral then the guests headed to the Foundry at Puritan Mill for a night full of dancing.  If you ever want to see what 400 people on the dance floor looks like, peep below!

We made sure that no detail was missed as we carried the color scheme from the clothes that Melissa wore in her save the date picture, to the mini pom poms we threw at the grand exit. It was great to see how the tangerine and plum worked so well together (we were ahead of the curve with the Pantone 2012 colors!).

Congrats to Melissa and Thea for being published in The Knot Magazine. Melissa and Thea we are forever grateful for being able to be apart of your big day! xoxo

This is one of those posts that I do not even know where to begin. Should I start off by telling you how awesome Asha and Bryson are or should I just replay their wedding day picture by picture???? Ok I just decided to do a little bit of both.

I tell Asha daily that she will be our first female President. I know she thinks I am joking but I mean it. Everyone knows her, and not one person has anything bad to say about her. She just has this presence about her that commands a room but is totally approachable at the same time. Oh let’s not forget her better half. He might as well run for Vice President right beside her because they are truly that much of a power couple!

Asha and her girls, began their day at in the penthouse suite of the Glenn Hotel in downtown Atlanta.  Asha and Bryson decided to do a first look on the roof top of the Glenn Hotel. It was just perfect, just the two of them!

Bryson had two dinner jackets. One for the first look and another for the rest of the ceremony and reception. Men take note, you can do a dress change too!

It was our first time working with Nadia D. Photography, and needless to say she is my new bestie. Her photos are like a work of art!

They were blessed to have an amazing bridal party that made the day all about the couple and not about themselves!

Can’t forget the S’mores!

We must give thanks to our fabulous style production team!
