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!!!

More photos will be posted once received from the photographer

Another happy bride sends her thanks

One of our autumnal brides, Amy Bledsoe, sent this email today...pictures were posted earlier

"Larry,  Well it will be two months tomorrow since Bill and I got married.  We did not get back until October 23rd from our honeymoon and it has been a world wind every since. 

I can't thank you enough for all your hard work.  You gave me the WOW factor I was looking for.  Everyone has raved about the flowers and the reception hall.   I look forward to working with you in the future and hope to keep in touch.   Kristin is working on a slide show of the wedding.  I will forward once we complete.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Sincerley,
Amy Bledsoe-Gmaz"

Jan:  It was such a pleasure to finally meet you in person.  You are a joy and it was wonderful to have you and your family at our mock service!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these beautiful flowers.  This just might be the largest most elegant arrangement I have EVER received.

I just can’t thank you enough.

I hope you’re feeling well, and 100% soon!

Sincerely,

B'nai Mitzvah weekend

The Horwitz family are celebrating a B'nai Mitzvah today & tomorrow...their son and daughter are the celebrents.  Congregation Beth Tefillah tonight and for tomorrow's Kiddush... everything will have a South Afircan theme, as the family is orginally from there.  Earthy colors from the linens and the florals - natural and organic.  Saturday evening, at Congregation Beth Jacob in their Heritage Hall will see the big party... Pewter, deep garnet red and Black linens will work with community minded centerpieces.  The family wanted to do something for the less fortunate, so we came upwith an idea that pleased them; cylinders filled with assorted nuts and fruit... topped with flowers.  Now we're not talking the sliced fruit and whole fruit in water...that's been done to death!!!  Fresh produce topped with flowers... all to be collected at the end of the evening and distributed by the family.

Mazel Tov!!!

Stephanie & Tim October 17, 2009 Big Canoe GA

Just recieved this from Stephanie via Twitter....  thought we'd share.  Stephanie is the editor for 'Get Married' magazine... we were contacted during the summer to possibly provide the bridal bouquet...those of you who know us (and for those who are thinking about hiring us)...we do all the florals...  The challange:  we already had 2 booked for that Saturday, one in Callaway Gardens.  No problem, we used a courier service to deliver to Big Canoe.   As you can see from the movie preview, Stephanie & Tim were a joy to work with!  Cannot wait to see the entire movie and the photos in the magazine next year.  Congratulations to you both...
