Sneak Peak: Renee & Robert

Last month, we had the pleasure of working with Renee and Robert on their wedding at the Westin Buckhead. Here is a sneak peak of the happy day. Stay tuned for more great pictures!

Art Vows

Your wedding vows + beautiful art = a new creative way for couples to turn their personal vows into a piece of art that lasts a lifetime. Introducing Art Vows. You choose whatever text, color, and art that you like to get the look that you want on paper or canvas that lasts a lifetime.



Here are just two of the styles that I love. If you love Art Vows and want to include your parents and wedding party you can. They also have matching parents gifts and wedding party gifts.

T is for Tulip

Tulips are a beautiful choice for your wedding bouquet. They not too romance, not too elegant, and not too creative...it's just right! What's even better is that the meaning of tulip is perfect love. What else needs to be said on your wedding day except we've found perfect love?

The Royal Wedding

Last Friday, I was on of the countless viewers watching Prince William marry Kate Middleton. The 1,900 invited guests began arriving at Westminster Abbey more than two hours before the ceremony began. One of the first things I noticed was all of the beautiful and creative fascinators and hats the ladies wore.



We only got a quick glimpse of the bride as she came out of the Goring Hotel. So everyone anxiously waited for Kate to step out of her car to get a better look at her. She wore a gorgeous white laced long sleeve gown by Sarah Burton. Everyone was all the buzz about her unexpected posy bouquet of myrtle, lily of the valley, sweet William, and hyacinth. Another unexpected topic of discussion was the bride's sister Pippa's white dress which was also designed by Sarah Burton, because bridesmaids do not normally wear white.



After the hour long catholic ceremony full of choir songs and readings in the church decorated with trees, the bride and groom rode in style in their horse drawn carriage to Buckingham Palace. Prince William looked very handsome in his red military uniform.



Everything was perfectly timed for the day right down to the time when everyone anxiously waited for the newly titled Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William to go out on the balcony and have their first public kiss. The newlyweds seemed a little shy about the kiss. Then all of a sudden they delighted the crowd with a second kiss.



I will admit that I was impressed with the celebration, but the entire time I was waiting for one of the many children that were the bridesmaids and pages to get restless and act up. To my surprise, they were very well behaved. Even when 3 year old Grace van Cutsem frowned and covered her ears, she was adorable.
It will be interesting to see what trends will emerged because of the things that we saw at the royal wedding. Will more brides wear long sleeved lace gowns and carry smaller bouquets? Will more guests wear hats to the ceremony? Will bridesmaids wear white? Will more couples depart in horse carriages? Will we see more trees as decor? What do you think?
Happy planning!

Food station at your wedding

A great alternative to the traditional plated or buffet dinner for your wedding reception are food stations. Food stations are a way for you to get creative with your dinner and offer a variety of choices for your guests to enjoy. This also allows guests to get what they want and exactly how much they want of it.
Some wonderful choices of food stations are: mashed potato bar, pasta, seafood, Asian, Mexican, cheese or chef carving station. That's just to name a few, because the selection is endless. This is a great idea for both large or intimate receptions.
Happy planning!
