...these amazing wall vases we found at market in atlanta with single gerber daisies tucked in them. we've always been big fans of polka dots, but these take it to a whole 'nother level!

lauren + josh :: 2.25.11
we did lauren and josh's wedding and reception back in february at aVenue downtown. we had a great time working with them- they were both so hip and fun with lauren's music biz experience and josh's tech skills. they knew they wanted a creative and modern wedding with an urban feel, and what fun it was putting it all together! and thanks to michael howard for the amazing photos!
always love a crossing-the-street-downtown-wedding shot. one can't help but think of the beatles crossing abbey road...or wait, maybe that's just us...

lauren wanted a dramatic and modern bouquet, so we incorporated callas, orchids, and anemones in rich jewel tones. it looked incredible against her gorgeous vera wang tulle gown
for a twist, the flower girl carried a monogram covered in flowers down the aisle!
for the mothers, we did smaller nosegays incorporating some of the same flowers in the bridal bouquet:
aVenue all set up for the ceremony. we had both the ceremony and reception there, so we started with chairs on the dance floor to create an "aisle" and then the rest of the guests sat at the surrounding dinner tables and sofas.
they're married! congrats! (p.s. how much do you love lauren's black sash? so cute!)
lauren and josh did these awesome paintings...all the words and numbers are places and dates that have been significant to them in some way (their wedding date, addresses where they have lived, etc. )
more orchids floating with candles and black river rock- great look for not a lot of $$!
manzanita branches with crystals and orchids
another masterpiece by leland at dessert designs...decorated with black and white anemones, always a favorite over at big events
from our collection are these "crosswind" vases....they're glass balls that are open on both ends so you can feed anything you want inside, almost like a mini terrarium (or a space helmet depending on how your brain works). we love to make little scapes in these with river rock, moss, and in this case, calla lillies, hydrangea, and greenery-
guests took pictures with lauren & josh's old polaroid cameras and then signed them for a twist on a normal guest book:
as the dances started, lauren and josh danced to all you need is love by the beatles,
and then a super sweet father/daugther dance to anything you want by roy orbison,
and then josh and his mom danced to apache by the sugar hill gang (for those of you that don't know- it's the TONTO! JUMP ON IT! song) and did the dance and everything. it was amazing and a total surprise to everyone- the look on the families' faces was priceless!
and maybe the coolest ring photo ever...so creative, michael!
congrats to you two...we had way too much fun helping you with your big day!

kate & justin
we had a great time with the garman wedding....not only were the bride and groom fun spirits to work with (she's a huge fan of all things disney!), but we got to go for a more modern and monochromatic look which turned out to be one of our favorites to date. we were back at one of our favorite venues, war memorial, for both the ceremony and reception. and luckily, the weather had (finally) cooled down a bit, so it made for a lovely day! we were also reunited with mary rosenbaum, photographer extraordinaire, so we knew these photos would be amazing, and they are...
kate, her mom, and sister. love this shot!
kate's precious shoes! what a great way to show that extra bit of personality !
simple bouquets of calla lillies for the bridesmaids
mary guided us over to this wall covered in vines in a parking lot...i knew the picture would be cool, but I didn't expect it to be this AMAZING. now that's a photographer with vision!!
we loved the way kate's bouquet turned out- roses, callas, and arabicum
justin sent over a gift to kate right before the ceremony....one of the cutest things we have ever seen...it was the beautiful tiffany key with a key ring- and attached was a key to justin's house! how creative and thoughtful??!!
the letterpress wedding invites...we carried this motif throughout the wedding as their "brand," from the water bottles to the menu cards
the black chairs really popped against the stone plaza
even though it was cooler, it was still warm enough that guests needed a water!
pomanders made of cream roses hung on the aisle chairs
we incorporated manzanita branches into floral arrangements for a natural feel
another adorable ring bearer and flower girl!
cocktail hour in the courtyard
more manzanita branches with hydrangeas and white orchids
warm amber uplighting 
as guests entered war memorial, they saw this sign... 
and these were the escort cards with the names and table numbers!! miniature black chairs. we meant it when we said "take a seat" :)
centerpieces were more manzanita branches with orchids and crystals dripping off of them. the amber tones of the lighting looked great with the black and white details!
there was lots of soft candlelight- always a great bang for your buck!
long tables flanked the sides with banquettes and more white chiavari chairs with low floral arrangements of roses and candles
a crystal chandelier is so beautiful in the auditorium!
the cake was arranged on a floating platform, underneath which had moss, green orchids, and branches
justin surprised kate with the perfect first dance song for a disney lover- a whole new world!
justin's favorite dessert is bananas foster, so instead of a traditional groom's cake, kristen winston catering did a bananas foster station. YUM
and then, kate passed out blinking rings to all her guests. it created quite a dance party!
sam levine and the city lights orchestra got the party going!
and there was a candy bar with all of kate & justin's favorites for guests to help themselves to
at the end of the night, justin surprised kate with sparklers for guests to wave at them for their exit
thanks to kate and justin and their families for a great night, and thanks to everyone involved!
kate's dress hanging in the hermitage hotel....what a gorgeous gown!
