Words of praise

This email just came in - Lisa is a mother of one of our brides a few months ago... she also teaches at the school at Decatur First United Methodist....  thought we'd share:

Hi Larry and Greg,
Just got off the phone with Caroline from Decatur First Methodist, and she said you guys blew them away with the flowers you did for a wedding this past weekend. That is high praise indeed, and thought you might appreciate knowing what an impression you made. She said the candles, etc were just great, and that we picked a wonderful florist for Amy and Marco's wedding as well-of course, I agreed. Hope all is well. Were you ever able to see the pics from Amy and Marco's wedding?
Take care,
Lisa Lantrip

For those of you reading that don't live in Atlanta, it won't make much sense, but it has been raining here most of October, supposedly the driest month of the year - which is why brides in the area have made October the number one month for weddings! Today, still pouring outside.. looks like Flood part II before this is done... and a perfect excuse to stay in your jammies and work from home!

Kristen Alexander has already provided us with some images for the blog.... thanks bunches Kristen!!

Amy & Bill held their intimate ceremony at the Decatur First United Methodist Church Chapel.. a gorgeous setting for the wedding. Many thanks to Carolyn there... good seeing you again! They were blessed with one tiny sprinkle session for approximately 2 minutes before the guests even arrived. They chose the historic Wimbish House, also known as the Atlanta Women's Center for their reception. As one of the 4 remaining mansions on Peachtree Street, the setting was perfect for the 70 guests attending. Amy chose flowers for the season...autumnal hues which rally provided the "PUNCH" she wanted in the house. The great folks of Bold American Catering did an outstanding job on the cuisine... and the wedding cake was created by Jeff at The Frosted Pumpkin ..a vision of chocolate simplicity. Well done everyone.... the linens were from BBJ (Amy picked them out all by herself!)..featuring the new Terra Cotta Shantung with Gold Deauville napkins.

Andea Tamasi & Noah Wells

Andrea & Noah is the first scheduled ceremony allowed on the Great Lawn.. good thing as the Gardens had 3 other ceremonies that day! Busy Busy!

Ucce luxury fashion for women Launch party

We had the privilege to provide the florals at a launch party & runway show for a new luxury woman's line, Ucce. Held at the fabulous St. Regis Hotel, the show introduced her line to the world. Thanks to Julia McKelvey at the St. Regis... loved working with you again. Randi Layne from Catwalk Productions.. you are GORGEOUS!! And as soon as the official photographer, Poane, reads his emails, I hope he'll send some images. Thanks to our PR, Meg Reggie of MRPR for the opportunity...you rock!

Uche (her name is spelled a bit different than her company name) had a distinct look in mind for the flowers.. and apparantly, we nailed it!

Enjoy our photos for now...

Jessica Betel and Adam Toal August 30, 2009

Now, if you are truly following this blog, you'll notice 2 brides this past weekend, both named Jessica or Jesica... and let me tell you, it was the dickens to keep their paperwork separate!

The ceremony was slated for the Rose Garden at Atlanta Botanical Gardens, but Mother Nature decided not to cooperate.. so the ceremony was held in the Craftsman style Mershon Hall. You might guess from the photos that Jessica's favorite colors are purple and green.

Dana and her crew from Affairs To Remember did a fantastic job; the cake was from Angel Cakes and the photographer was Christine Gallagher. She had a double weekend as well.. but had a few minutes to send these images so we could post right away.. as she continues her post production, she'll send more our way! Even with the dark sky and wet Garden, the event was gorgeous and fun was had by all. Thanks Christine!!!
