Haley & John December 31, 2009

Our last wedding of the year... a very intimate affair.. .30 adults and 6 children... gathered in the groom's parents house on Valley Road, in Buckhead.

Haley wanted it clean & elegant.. her favorite colors - black & white.  Her bouquet is composed of Vendela Roses,  'Black Star' Miniature Callas and white spray roses.  Black velvet ribbon & Swarovski crystals are the ultimate in finishing touches.  Her little 'nieces' to be carried Kissing Balls of all Vendela roses, while the mothers carried small nosegays of matching flowers.  I have to tell you, I made her show me her shoes... black patent leather Christian Loubotin - complete with little patent leather bow at the toes... size 5½!!

The wedding & reception were held in the great room of the house.. in front of the family Christmas Tree, with a view to the back Italianate Garden.  John & Haley were surrounded by their guests as they stood for the ceremony.. conducted by the groom's sister, Patti (I called her the irreverent Reverend).  After the ceremony, everyone had dinner in the same room.  Linens were "Orleans Black Damask' from BBJ :Linens, black bengaline napkins.  Chairs and tables from We Rent Atlanta. .  Haley loves a little bling, so we placed Swarovski crystals on her wedding cake (Cakes by Ella).. while John picked out his own cake, red velvet.

Best wishes to John & Haley and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
