Rachelle and Damon - Inspiration Board

Photography by: Altmix Photography

Congratulations to Rachelle and Damon, who were married this past Sunday. As Damon is a huge UNC Tar Heels basketball fan, the color palette was White, Navy Blue, and Light Blue.

I was so glad for the opportunity to work with several of the StudioWed Atlanta exclusive vendors including I Do Linens, Sugarplum Visions, and Lemiga Events, (who created this really great Inspiration Board).

Congratulations to Sarah and Dan, whose beautiful wedding took place on the bride's grandfather's Kennesaw estate, and exuded nothing short of dreamy romance.

White paper cones topped with green hydrangea sprigs lined the aisle.

Sarah and John - The Watershed Wedding

Congratulations to Sarah and John!  Sarah was so wonderful...and to think I never even met her in person!!  (Sarah is from Arizona, and all of our correspondence was through email only). Thank goodness she is so descriptive!

The Bridal Bouquet.  White peonies, dahlias and lisianthus, green viburnum and cymbidium orchids, and orange-tipped bicolor roses.

The intimate affair was held at the Watershed Restaurant in Downtown Decatur.

Ceremony Chuppah.  Special thanks to Jamie Warde of Dad's Garage Theater Company for his input and construction of the gorgeous Birch Chuppah.

So simple.  So sweet.

Instead of a traditional cake, Alon's Bakery designed a tower of Parisian Macarons.
