Kind words from the mother of the Groom (Ashley & Michael)

We received this email today and thought we'd share; it is from Michael's mother

"To Larry and Greg and all of your staff,

 

I find it difficult to tell you how beautiful I thought everything was.  I waited to see the main dinning area at the Peachtree Club until I got there from the Rehearsal.  Wendy told me it was gorgeous, but I am not sure that even described my first impression.  The tall arrangements, the tablecloths,  the perfect volatives, and all of the table arrangements were exactly as I had envisioned them to be.  Greg, it was as if you were in my mind and saw the same thing I did.

 

The Reception was also magical. Looking into that dinning space was spectacular.  Your recommendation for the chairs, tablecloths everything was beautiful.  Marcia told me Sunday that you came by the Reception and I am sorry I did not get to see you.

 

I told Wendy at the Peachtree Club,  that if Foxgoves and Ivy were doing the flowers  tell her clients to not doubt that it will be perfect.

Thanks for tolerating me and making this one of the most memorable weekends.

 

Sincerely,

Tina Lyerly"

Ashley & Michael - F&I photos

What a great day... Ashley was so excited.. her ceremony was held Saturday, April 10, at Central Presbyterian Church downtown.  She is the 4th generation bride to marry there.. her grandfather conducted the ceremony.  Pre-ceremony photography had her crossing the street and posing under an archway at the Georgia State Capital Building... another Crosland tradition... 3rd or 4th generation with same pose & location!   Don't you just love it when there is a story within the story??  We do!

Ashley's bouquet was comprised of deep purple Lisianthus, Sweet peas, purple & green hellebores, Dutch Lilac, Dutch Peony tulips, 'Amnesia' rose, 'Ocean Spray' rose, Baby Green Hydrangea, Mokara orchids, immature Snowball Viburnum, miniature calla 'Sugar Plum' and deep purple freesia.... gorgeous!

The bridesmaids carried a coordinating bouquet of softer shades of purple and lavender (dresses were deep plum/fig).  Flowers such as 'Amnesia' rose, Mokara orchids, lavender Sweet Peas (Holland), lavender Dutch peony Tulips, white miniature callas, lavender freesia, 'Little Silver' spray rose, Baby Green Hydrangea, green Hellebores, wrapped with lavender ribbon.  Divine!


Cake by Mark Lotti's Classic Cheesecakes & Cakes... linens by BBJ Linen (this is a new overlay, Silver Cracked Ice.. over a lilac lamour and it features our signature 'floral' plateau...all fresh flowers!

This arrangement was on the terrace...Bold American Catering later put their cheese display on the table.
