Simple, Southern Elegance!

Bridal Bar Atlanta — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:22:53 +0000

There is something so lovely about the simplicity of a classic southern wedding with a lot of candle light and a simple color palette! This wedding was designed by the amazing Andy Beach. His flowers and event decor are always so polished and this wedding is a great representation of his fabulous designs! I love the way the bright green contrasts against the black bridesmaid dresses and white table linens. This wedding took place at the Atlanta History Center. The beautiful ground of the Swan House was perfect for this ceremony, and the reception followed in the spacious ballroom complete with huge windows and shiny dance floor.

Andy used fresh calla lilies to create a clean, delicate bouquet... beautiful!

These hydrangeas create such a statement as the bridal party made their grand entrance for all the guests to see. I think it creates a dreamy look that will definitely be remembered as the guests moved to the reception.

First of all that expression is priceless... These beautiful bridesmaids are glowing as the bride and her father made their way to the groom. But my eyes go to these stunning bouquets. They remind me of the splendor of souther weddings: soft, airy, comfortable elegance, pure! GORGEOUS!

One of my very favorite things about event decor is repeating something simple, like these vases above. It makes such a huge statement in its own way. This tablescape is a perfect statement, not over the top but very elegant with the roatation of the white and green flowers. Notice the contrast with the black napkin... everything to the last detail is tended to as it should be on your wedding day!

Andy Beach, thank you for your inspiring event design!

Mark your calendars for Monday, November 30th from 6pm-9pm. The Atlanta Humane Society is once again partnering with Owen Halpern and Larry Pritchard to bring you a special holiday shopping party at their gorgeous gallery for home and office furnishings.

Says Mr. Pritchard, "We are all excited about hosting the 4th Annual Shop for a Cause event at OwenLawrence. We look forward to being able to make an even larger donation to AHS this year with all of us working together. OwenLawrence has worked with our suppliers to bring in more moderately priced products that should have great appeal to holiday shoppers. We have terrific items from $5 that would make great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts, so come on out and shop for a great cause!"

But, if you're looking for something a little more unique, OwenLawrence is now carrying items from Ralph Lauren Home, Baccarat, Herend and William Yeoward.

Real Wedding: Kati and Greg

Bridal Bar Atlanta — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:37:03 +0000

This real wedding is courtesy of David Christensen. These pictures are stunning and really capture the essence and personality of this wedding. Kati and Greg exchanged vows in front of their friends and family and then had a rocking reception after, complete with dueling pianos. Kati, a fan of hot pink and orange, incorporated it into her ladies bridesmaid dresses, cake, and flowers. What a fun theme! It came out amazing in the pictures, as you will see below. I think my favorite detail is their beautiful 5 tier cake complete with stripes and polka dots.

A big thing that stands out to my eye is the use of lighting at the reception. Lighting can really set the mood. Whether you want the room to look dramatic, fun, romantic, colorful, etc, lighting can help achieve this in a classy and fun way. So be bold in your color choices, you will love your pictures!
