Dressing up an Affordable Wedding Venue in Atlanta- Vintage Chic Style!


Hi Everyone!


Summer is upon is and with it brings a busy, busy wedding season!  What better way to celebrate than to share with you a wonderful wedding venue at an affordable price.  Last weekend, Maggie and I had the opportunity to show our goods at The Defoor Centre wedding open house.  This fabulous venue contains multiple spaces and boasts a beautiful chapel space for ceremony or reception as well as an equally cool modern reception area flanked by a rotating set of paintings and design. 

Check out the video below to see this gorgeous space!

We immediately fell in love with the space's ability to take on any design from something simple, clean and modern to dripping in lace, candles and vintage cameos.  All food and beverage is in house and you can even have their bakers design your wedding cake.  It is perfect for the bride looking for a one-stop shop, and one who certainly doesn't want to sweat over every detail.  The best part of it all- it is SO very wallet friendly to brides on a budget- well, aren't we all?!?


For the open house, Maggie and I decided to create a design that fit well in the warm open chapel.  With white walls and dark concrete floors, the building lent itself to a simple elegant design.  We rented our beautiful china and tableware from Four Inch Fold vintage rentals and set out to make a tablescape and background fit for an elegant affair.  Maggie created the most delectable floral arrangements with soft pink peonies, delicate chocolate Queen Anne's Lace and sprigs of white phlox that brought an added layer of charm to the table.  This was such a fun event, and we were so excited to be a part of it!


We'll have lots more for the blog in the coming months...happy wedding season!

A Take on Something New...


As I prepare for my website photo shoot in a few weeks, I am constantly thinking about the look, feel and style.  One of the biggest and most enjoyable parts of styling a photo shoot is the fashion.  In my search to create the perfect faux bride, I found myself wondering...what would she wear on hear head?  As I searched, I felt like every picture had a different take on the wedding veil.  While I love the traditional fingertip or elbow length style, I wanted to show the versatility of a headpiece, and just how expressive you can be with your look!  Here is a new spin on an old tradition:

1.  Headbands and barrettes: Colorful, playful and shinny!

2. Blushers and birdcages: Sexy, vintage and a play on classic beauty.

3.  Hats:  A bit daring and certainly off the beaten path, and so very royal wedding.

Matt and Jess Get Married~ 5 Seasons Brewing Company, Westside

Behold! The beautiful images from Matt and Jessica's wedding at 5 Season Brewing Company Westside, courtesy of Robin Nathan Photography. From the moment I met Matt and Jessica, I thought, oh wow how can I make this couple into my friends?!  From their amazing literature theme to Jessica's creative eye, I just fell in love with every aspect of their wedding design.  Their wedding was sweet, intimate, and lovely and their guests really got to see a reflection of who they are as a couple. They would not be foiled by rain, and the dancing didn't stop all night long!
