Where to Say "I Do"

So now that you are engaged, once of the first and most important decisions that you and your fiance need to make is where you two should say, "I do". You know what they say, location...location...location.

That doesn't mean that you have to get married in a church and have your reception in a ballroom though. If your style is southern, why not try a barn? You may be surprised what rental items can do for the decor.

An outdoor wedding doesn't mean it has to be in a garden. A courtyard or in front of a tree are romantic and creative options as well. Whatever you decide, make it reflect your style.

A Splash of Color "Wish List"

I love having discussions with brides about how to incorporate color into their wedding. Most brides grow up dreaming of their wedding all of their life. One of the first choices you might make are what colors you wants to include. Once you decide on your colors, some brides don't know how to use those colors throughout the day. So here are a few ideas for you.



I found this great inspiration board. As you can see, if bringing in color is on your wish list, there are endless ways to do it. You can bring in color on your bridesmaid dresses, bouquets, invitations, shoes, men's ties, your cake, chair sashes, lighting, drapery, and my favorite, signature drinks. But you don't have to stop there. Have fun with it. Happy planning!

Fusion Wedding "Wish List"

A fusion wedding is when you combine two cultures or two religion into one. With a lot of brides and grooms from different nationalities getting married to each other, their wedding day is a wonderful time to pay tribute to each of their distinct cultures and heritages.



Clothing is one way to show off your cultural pride.



The same holds true for couples of different religions getting married. Incorporating little touches of both religions will please family member on both sides.



Having communion together is a wonderful way to share your first meal.



Follow your wishes!

A Venue with a View "Wish List"

We have brides who come and to us with different ideas of what they envision for their wedding day. All brides have reasons for deciding what venue they select for their wedding celebration. Even if having a venue with a view wasn't on your "wish list", when you tour a event space with a magnificent view, you may just change your mind.

The Ventanas is one of Atlanta's newest facilities. It has floor to ceiling windows that offers a fantastic view of downtown. In fact, ventanas means windows in Spanish. Let's not forget the rooftop view or the view from the helipad.



We wouldn't do this post justice if we only showed you outside views. The Georgia Aquarium has one of the best views in town and it's inside! There won't be a lack of conversation when you have whales swimming around you.



You don't have to be a member of The Buckhead Club to host a wedding there. Here is another great view of the city. This time it is of Buckhead.



The Atlanta Botanical Garden not only has the prettiest flowers in town, but it also has a great view of the skyline from the Gazebo.



Happy planning!

A Southern Wedding "Wish List"

When I think about wedding in the south, I think about the charm of an outdoor garden, winery, or farm wedding.


The ladies are using hand fans or under the shade of parasols to get a little relief from the sun. The ceremony and reception sites are full of beautiful flowers such as magnolias and hydrangeas.


You are sure to see a mason jar either as part of the decor or as a glass for some sweet tea or lemonade. Guest enjoy a big dose of southern hospitality as they eat comfort food or listen to great music.


What southern wedding would be complete without a groom's cake?


All of these things and so much more....are why I love southern weddings! Are any of these things on your "wish list"?
