Last September we had a great time helping coordinate Vicky and Jose’s wedding in Carle’s Place New York.  It was so fun to see all of the details come to life. Jose and Vicky are huge Met’s fans and used that theme throughout the entire wedding from beginning to end. From their bridesmaids wedding dresses to the colors the Met’s themed centerpiece we used on the placecard table.

There were other unique touches throughout the evening such as the picture we tucked into Vicky’s bouquet of her father that passed away two months prior.  The sweetest mother and daughter dance took place at the reception. As well as the monogrammed baseballs complete in glass boxes with the couples monogram and wedding date. A wonderful mix of high and low centerpieces with the colors that were seen throughout the night.. Here are a few images from their amazing day.

As you may know earlier this month I assisted Project Runway alum Heidi Elnora exhibit her 2010 collection here in Atlanta. Ladies and Gents it was to DIE for!

Heidi decided to forego the traditional runway show for her preview and decided to pair a piece of art, gown and floral arrangement/vignette to showcase the new line. Also all fees collected that night went to the Make a Wish foundation for children. Heidi is the true definition of a southern belle.

Set in a modern art gallery, attendees were encouraged to move through the space, absorb the art and watch as live models showcases the new wedding dress designs. I am so excited Lindsay Mast from Sublime Photography has shared these images with us.

Get Married originally started in just Atlanta and is now known nationally for their brand amongst brides and wedding pros.

The Soiree was a toast to the South, where it all began. There were tons of photo and video coverage from the event so we will break it up over several posts. Below are the images from the talented Ben Vigil. Ben is no stranger to the ellyB blog and we are always excited to showcase some more of this work.    

Stay tuned for more coverage along with the list of talented vendors that made it all possible.

Good luck!

Me and Heidi Elnora. She was too funny to be in the booth with. We strutted like we were on the next edition of Project Runway!

In the picture on the right you can see the Bridal Bar gals getting down with Amy Osaba and some of Atlanta’s top wedding planners!

Heather Vreeland showing everyone how to have fun in the smile booth.

Didn’t I say we were having fun?

I just love this effect. It makes me laugh each and everytime I see it.

A very glossy magazine only deserves a very glossy coffee table.

These illuminated tables set the tone! Oh and can we swoon over the sheer fabulousness of the drapes?

Heather Vreeland the diva in charge! Can I just say how much I loved her blue dress?

M Cupcakes did an amazing job with not only the cupcakes but the display.

Heather on the blue carpet!

Getting down having some fun.

Please head over to Ben’s blog to see some more amazing images from the slide show.

Thank you Heather for allowing me to be apart of such an amazing event and premiere issue.
