Wedding Decor Trends That We Love

We are seeing a lot of great trends in wedding decor that we absolutely love! Ribbon adds a fun creative touch to your wedding day. Seen here it is used as a focal point backdrop.

Traditionally, baby's breath was used as a filler for other flowers like roses. Have you seen the way baby's breath is being used to stand alone now? It can be very romantic.

We saved the best for last. Sequins add all the sparkle you could ever ask for to your big day. Colors like black or gray can be very elegant.

Have fun deciding on what decor style that fits your style. Happy planning! Photo Photo Photo

Congratulations Alycia & Ralph (Part 2)

A picture is worth a thousand words! You can see how happy and how much fun the bride and groom had on their wedding day.

Speaking of fun, I had a lot of fun designing the flowers for the wedding. I used colorful mango calla lilies, button mums, hypericum berries, fern curls, stock, Nora orchids, trick dianthus, and curly willow branches to give the bride what she envisioned.

My team and I set up lots of personal details like a creative clothes line full of pictures of the bride and groom through the years.

Guest loved finding their table from the escort card trees.

The reception was at the Payne Corley House which fit in well with the bride's "there's no place like home" theme.

The front lawn of the venue was all aglow with trees lighting up the night.

The design of the branches on the wedding cake flowed nicely with the curly willow branches in all of the bouquets.

We filled the table with several flavors of homemade jam that the bride and her mother made for guest favors.

The guest sent the happy couple off with an exciting sparkler exit. Congratulation to the happy couple from Your Champagne Wishes Events! Photo

Congratulations Alycia & Ralph (Part 1)

They had me at hello! I was delighted to be a part of Alycia and Ralph's fall wedding.

When the bride described her vision for their wedding, it included the colors champagne and chocolate brown.

I guess you noticed the shoes. Did I mention that there's no place like home? It was the theme of the wedding. (You will see more later.)

This wedding was all about the details, right down to the guy's cufflinks.

It was important to the couple that they didn't see each other before the ceremony, but Alycia sure had her fun teasing Ralph before she walked down the church's center aisle.

Holy Spirit Catholic Church is beautiful church. I loved the stained glass windows.

I had so much fun designing the flowers for this wedding. The bride said it was the best bouquet she has ever seen!.

Stay tuned for part 2! Photos

Your Champagne Wishes Events at Olive Soiree

In mid October, Olive celebrated 10 years in business by having a circus themed soiree at Paisley Umbrella. Olive is a collection of vintage dresses including wedding and bridesmaids dresses designed by Katreisa Raines.



Here is a peek into the outside tented area of the party taken before guest arrived. The fall weather was cool enough for us to enjoy the night air under the lighted tent.



Everyone had a fun time taking pictures at the photo area with vintage props. Here is one of the models posing for the camera in an Olive dress.



Your Champagne Wishes Events was delighted to be asked to design the flowers for the event! We designed fun colorful centerpieces to accent the estate table.



We wish Olive many more years of success!

Congratulations Nicole & Rashaad!

On a steaming hot summer afternoon in July, Nicole and Rashaad exchanged their wedding vows and became husband and wife.



The lovely bride was escorted down the aisle of the outside ceremony at Atlanta Botanical Garden by both of her proud parents.



I had a wonderful time being the coordinator and floral designer for the husband and wife doctor and lawyer.



I used orchids,roses, and lilies to make the bride's casual yet elegant wishes come true!

Eye Candy for the Romantic, Elegant, Creative Bride

Did you know that Your Champagne Wishes Events also offers floral design services? We wanted to give our readers a little "eye candy" sample of our work.



Are you a romantic bride? Here is a little rustic romance for you. We just love mason jars. Don't you? If you are a modern elegant bride here is a little platinum sparkle for you. We haven't forgotten about our creative bride. Here are some colorful floral jewels just for you!

Cotton Bouquet

I love a lot of things about what I do, but the one thing that excites me the most is working with a bride and groom who aren't afraid to think outside the box and be creative. Here is a great example of a creative couple. I simply adore this cotton bouquet and boutonniere.
Now I will say that it isn't for everyone, but if you want your wedding to be memorable, sometimes you just have to go for it!

Flower Girls

It is tradition to have a flower girl included in your wedding celebration. The flower girl usually delights the wedding guests by dropping rose pedals down the center aisle for the bride to walk on. When they cooperate, they can be an adorable part of the ceremony.

One way to keep your flower girl from having the responsibility of tossing pedals, is to simple have her carry a pomander around her wrist down the aisle. These are wonderful for younger girls that may be a little frightened.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right little girls. Traditionally, flower girls range from 4-8 years old. The younger the girl, the greater the chance that she will be too frightened to perform her duties. Also, it is good to have activities during the reception to keep them occupied so that they won't get bored.

ABC at Georgian Terrace Hotel

I love it when it is time for our Association of Bridal Consultants meetings. This time, we decided to go the the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Midtown Atlanta.

The busy hotel was recently renovated, but still remains a classic in Atlanta.

There are several ballrooms in the hotel and private dining rooms in the hotel's restaurant the Livingston to choice from for your next event.

A big part of our meetings is education. This week, our guest was Maxine from Edge Design Group who did a wonderful emergency flower demonstration for us.

Crystal Bouquet

Are you a non-traditional bride? Do you have flower allergies? If so, then I have a wonderful alternative to the traditional wedding floral bouquet. A crystal bouquet is a refreshing substitute from what we would normally see a bride carrying down the aisle.

Don't worry, the groom can wear a matching crystal boutonniere. You have the option to add feathers and ribbon to the bouquet like the first picture. You can also let the crystals stand alone like this picture. So, what do you think about the crystal bouquet idea?

Flower Power

Have you thought about how you would like to wear your hair on your big day? I love the look of these fresh flowers.
You can ask your florist for extra flowers that match your bouquet or your wedding colors to adorn your hair. The florist can recommend the best flowers to use.
Be sure to let your hair stylist know about your desire to add flowers to your hair. I always recommend that brides do a trial run of their hairstyle before the wedding date so your stylist knows exactly what you want. Make sure to take a picture and bring it with you for your big day.

Feather Bouquet

If you are a non-traditional bride then you should love this! I know I do. A feather bouquets is a wonderful alternative to flowers. If you are planning a unique wedding, this feather bouquet from Emplume is a wonderful choice.

Don't worry. They also have great boutonnieres, corsages, and ring pillows too.
