Well, hey everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's always exciting to look at our calendar and anticipate the array of weddings that we are going to celebrate as the year unfolds.  Each one is so uniquely different and special.

We're always so amazed and delighted at how creative and flexible our brides are! Come rain (lots of it), or shine - never a dull moment and always a laugh or two!  That's what makes our job so much fun!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call and chat.. We also love to stay connected and in touch with our former brides and grooms too, so, if that's you stopping by, we hope you'll drop us a line and tell us what you've been up to!

Blessings! 

Frank and Wendy


real life weddings ... the story of your day

Toni and Dan’s late March wedding was just plain FUN!  :D  All of their family and friends were there to support and share in the love and joy of the day.  Of course, Toni and Dan were completely relaxed and easy-going ~ we loved it!

Yes, the guys were definitely having a good time ~ and, how about those bottle opener sandals?  Now, that WAS a first!

There were no pre-wedding jitters at THIS wedding!  The girls were having a grand time singing and dancing BEFORE the ceremony.  The wedding coordinator had to come in and whisper a ‘SHHHH…’ so the arriving guests wouldn’t hear all the fun drifting from the dressing room! oops!  :D

Van was definitely the best ring bearer EVER and everyone’s favorite guest!

Congratulations and hugs to Toni and Dan!

As promised, here is Part Two of Brittany and Kevin’s beautiful wedding weekend!  Their wedding day dawned bright and sunny (after a sprinkle or two from the night before) and it was glorious for a mid-March, (St. Patrick’s Day) wedding!  It was truly a blessing to be with our sweet friends and share in such a special and memorable day….enjoy!

Brittany and Kevin decided to do a ‘First Look’ ….

As self-proclaimed professional wedding food and cake analysts, :D Frank and I knew right away that their reception was going to be extra special…Vera Stewart of ‘Very Vera‘ was catering and their professional team could be seen everywhere, setting things up, arranging flowers and trays, and best of all, carrying those signature scrumptious cakes with delicate care to their appointed spots on the main table.  I happened to get a taste of the Strawberry Cake later that evening (it was hard to choose) and it was incredibly wonderful!  I later learned that Oprah had already dubbed it one of her ‘Favorite Things’! (mine too!)

What a treat when Brittany’s Dad jumped in to join Legacy band’s rhythm and sound!

hCongratulations and Hugs to you both! xo

Frank and I had been looking forward to Brittany and Kevin’s March wedding for MANY months and it was such a treat when their wedding week finally arrived!  The forecast called for unprecedented beautiful weather for mid-March AND we were going to get to be with some of our favorite families and dear friends that we’ve known forever … always a huge blessing!

Kevin’s parents hosted the magnificent rehearsal dinner celebration to herald in the wedding festivities starting with pre-dinner cocktail hour on the rooftop of the historic Georgia Theatre in Athens and dinner in the theatre’s main room and upper levels ~ so lovely!

What a fun evening and tip-of-the-hat prelude to their beautiful wedding day!  More to come so stay tuned!  :D

Frank and I have had the wonderful privilege of getting to know so many brides and grooms and their families over the past year! What a delight to be a small part of such a special time in their lives and to consider them fast friends by the time the last petal is tossed, the sparklers fizzle, or an extra hug is given to a mom or dad in the frenzy of an end-of-the-night send off.

Getting to know Megan and Eddie has been an extra special blessing to US!  They are the NICEST couple ~ genuine, caring, and an all-around JOY to be with.  Megan looked beautiful and never stopped smiling the entire day.  :D  Their New Year’s Eve wedding was the perfect way to ring in 2012 with beloved family and friends….

This was one of my favorite moments of the day ~ Megan’s Dad peeking in to see Megan for the first time in her wedding dress.  And, Megan whispering back her thanks to him for her beautiful dress – how precious is that….?

Megan and Eddie decided to do a quick ‘First Look’

Congratulations and HUGS to Megan and Eddie!

It is with GREAT delight that I post our newest FAVORITE THING ~ Olive and Jane Millinery!     I know it’s been a while since we’ve posted a ‘Favorite Thing’ but that’s because we’re choosy!  It has to be extra, extra, special!   So, when our dear friends, Katie and Amy announced the official launch of their new website and online store, featuring all of  their beautiful creations, we couldn’t wait to tell you about it!

A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous.   Coco Chanel

Katie and Amy have designed a gorgeous line of headpieces featuring: fascinators, cocktail hats, and chapeaus.  Each of their creations is a work of art and SO pretty ~ the perfect accessory for our brides and bridesmaids, or for anyone wanting that extra special touch of femininity and romance.

Be sure to hurry over to Olive and Jane’s BLOG where they are having a Fascinator giveaway tomorrow (Friday February, 17th)  at 10 pm EST!  To be entered in the drawing simply leave a post in their comment section with your name and on which form of social media you helped share the love for Olive and Jane.
