Thanks from a mother of the bride

We had a big wedding & reception this past weekend at Villa Serena in Conyers.  Amanda & her mother, Sandra, met with us in August of 2010 to start the process of planning the wedding.  Sandra is a bit of a self confessed control freak, but everyone worked together to create Amanda's dream wedding.  Pictures coming soon...  promise...

This morning, we received this email from the mother of the bride, Sandra:  

"Good morning Larry!
 
I just wanted you to know just how happy we were with the flowers.  You and Greg went far above and beyond our expectations.  You were there, changed things that needed to be changed, moved gazebos, and worked diligently to make sure Amanda's day was perfect.    My sister is the most negative person about all decorations, and she said they were the most beautiful things she had seen at any wedding she had been to.  She caterers weddings every weekend in Augusta, so she should know.  Amanda is so happy and proud.  Thank you for making her day so special and such an event to remember.
 
Thank you again!
 
Sandra Poteat"

playing catchup

Hey folks... sorry for the delays in updating the blog.. no excuses.. just busy.. and that's a good thing.  We have been fortunate to have the wedding business recover from last year.. so I will be sharing with you.  Most of the images are from my own camera.. waiting on photographers to get us images is maddening!

Caitlin & Levi Barnhard

Caitlin is the daughter of one of my best friends from college (Mercer University Macon).. her father is Chaplain (Colonel) David Reese - he officiated at the ceremony.  Levi & Caitlin met while attending college in north Georgia.  Their ceremony was held in the historic and beautiful Infantry Chapel on Fort Benning; with a reception following at the Elizabeth Turner Hall on the campus of the Columbus College campus.

Caitlin wanted to have a winter feel - featuring her favorite color, blue.  Gerbera daisies are her most loved flower, so we had to use it in her bouquet, and Levi's boutonniere.

Most of the images here are from 35 Atlanta... with a few I managed to take of the reception area - minus the guests. 

Wishing you many years of happiness and life Caitlin & Levi.....  love you ....Uncle Larry

Thank you from client... thought we would share

You delivered the MOST BEAUTIFUL arrangement to my wife in the hospital on Tues -- EVERYTHING was PERFECT.  Thank you so much for helping to make her stay and recovery so beautiful!  My wife is a bit of a flower nut, so having your flowers in the room made her feel so much better.

Thanks again for your exceptional service and product.

Sana Silvera Oct 3, 2010

Sana is a beautiful young lady who came to us with a very special vision for her wedding.. it was always about the shoes!  As you can see, stunning.

She ran into a bit of bad luck and had to cut out all reception and ceremony decor because her house was broken into by burglers and it really set her back financially.. just 2 weeks before the wedding.  One of our services is a 'Pick Up Wedding' - typically the personal flowers.. everything designed and boxed for pickup.  Her coordinator picked up the flowers Sunday morning and Sana sent us these two pics of her bouquet.  Thought we would share.

The great news..the police think they have captured the burgler... hope so.  Best wishes Sana!
