Still more weddings & receptions

Whew....barely got our wind back from this past weekend... Friday June 12, one of our couples will exchange vows at the beautiful Swan House... on the Portico Lawn... just wait until you all see what has been planned! The bride & groom  love the Great Gatsby novel and movie.. so everything has the flavor of the 1920's & early 30's. Following the ceremony, there will be a light reception on the lower lawn below the fountains...with a seated dinner at 103 West -which will be transformed into a nightclub feel. Can you say lots of texture, palms & peacock feathers?? Saturday evening, a larger reception will be held in their honor at the Capital City Club of Brookhaven...

pictures to follow.....

Saturday evening will see Jennifer Collins & Matt Walker will stand in front of their family and friends in the historic Biltmore Imperial Ballroom for their nuptuials. The guests don't have far to travel for an incredible reception... just down the hall to the Georgian Ballroom.

Joan King & Kevin Hills June 6, 2009

As promised...here are some photos I managed to sneak in after setting up the reception at The Commons, Fort McPherson. Joan is active duty Army (SFC) and Kevin is in the Reserves (Sergeant Major) as well as a civil service employee. During the planning process, Joan & Kevin told us that their desire was to 'transform' the space into their "Platinum" reception.. but within their budget. Our dear friend Marina Miller (EventDrapery.com) did a spectacular job creating a romantic touch with the fabric... coordinating the drapery ties with the linens. BBJ Linens - Dee Lane...you ROCK!! The Nile Blue lamours & damask brought everything to the highest level.. accented with the celedon and cornsilk. So all of you will know, when Joan met with Dee Lane & me at their new location, Joan was a bit concerned how we could pull all of her favorite colors together.. at which point, Dee Lane brought out the couture cake overlay.. old gold mesh with all of Joan's colors in a floral pattern.. the tears started gushing... that's when we in this business know we've done it to perfection. The photos show how you can pull together pattern, color and texture to achieve a truly Platinum look on a budget. Our friends at We Rent Atlanta - shout out to Lauren for your help.. provided the chairs; Mark Brickman, owner of Baker's Man did a superb job on the cake. Coordinator was Shujuan Shannon of To Have and To Hold, photographers were Springfield Photography and I cannot emphasize the extraordinary talents of Steve Moore, The Moore Agency.... he works majic with the makeup brush and combs... Joan was stunning...no other words come to mind...just stunning... I almost cried when I saw her at the church! Steve...fantastic!!

Enjoy our photos of the reception site... once the photographers send me images, we will share with all of you.... have a great week!!!

Praise from Mother of the bride Lantrip/Friend wedding June 6

Larry & Greg,
I am beyond speechless. The flowers that Foxgloves and Ivy did for Amy and Marco's wedding were absolutely the most stunning I have ever seen. I was so overwhelmed at the beauty of it all-from the church to the courthouse-it was just as you said it would be. It truly hurt my heart to leave at the end of the evening and leave all those beautiful flowers behind. Amy and Marco have left for the Dominican Republic so I haven't been able to discuss the wedding in detail with her, but she did tell me she thought the flowers were the most elegant of any wedding she has ever been to. She and Marco danced the night away, and were VERY HAPPY with everything. Thanks for the part you and your staff played in making her wedding perfect.
