Missy + Sten

Alright, Mondays are never fun, we get it. But we've got the most amazing wedding for you today, that is going to blow you away, and start your week the right way. 

Missy + Sten chose Vinewood for their laid-back celebration, which inspired a vintage, rustic theme across the board, but kept it playful too. The mauve tufted couch, hanging parasols and handmade fabric boutonnieres were all great elements that made Missy + Sten's wedding their own. We love the bright bouquet and florals Jennifer at Virtu designed, it's hard to look at them and not feel happy. The whole evening had that light-hearted, playful and fun vibe, and Matt Miller, from Our Labor of Love, did a helluva job capturing this in his dynamic photos. He is a rockstar! Was anyone else really impressed by Sten's high-kick skills?  Seriously.As eclectic as Missy + Sten's wedding was, their menu was surprisingly traditional, with a slight twist. Meatloaf sliders with sun-dried tomato mayo, brioche boxes with pimento cheese, and pad thai with toasted cashews and avocado were passed after the ceremony. The buffet dinner menu featured buttermilk southern fried free range chicken, mac n' cheese and black pepper biscuits-- perfectly southern. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, Missy + Sten opted for a cookie cake and dessert bar,  which were big hits, and very "them." Missy + Sten are so genuine, and their wedding was truly theirs. Just the right mix of casual, vintage, and fun, and filled with lots of laughter and love. Missy + Sten's love is sort of intoxicating, and whether you've know them for years, days, or ever just spent few minutes sorting through their photos, you can't help but love them too. It's all that warm-n-fuzzy feelings stuff that reminds us how lucky we are to play a hand in so many lovely couple's weddings and keeps us grateful, even on a Monday.Congrats you two! 

Cheers,

Jules + Rob

Jules + Rob's timeless wedding celebration is one for the books. Filled with old Hollywood glamour and elegance, this stunning wedding, captured beautifully by the talented duo Altmix Photography, will  take your breath away.

Coordinated by the lovely Amy, at A Flawless Event, Jules + Rob's wedding was just that-- flawless from start to finish. The Imperial Ballroom at The Biltmore served as the ideal setting for their elegant and traditional ceremony, and the lavish florals from Britt Wood Designs and luxurious linens from I Do Linens, made the already gorgeous Georgian Ballroom even more dazzling. From Jules' romantic Jenny Packham dress to the Rob's Armani tux, there were so many glamorous elements, we just can't get enough. Check out more photos from Altmix and hear more about their celebration, a night filled with so much joy and magic, on Style me Pretty.

Jules + Rob's guests made their way to Atlanta from both coasts, and were treated to some Southern hospitality in the form of comfort food during the reception. Fried green tomatoes with horseradish sauce and caramelized onions were a huge hit during cocktail hour, as well as Alison's famous meatloaf sliders. Our local apple and crispy pancetta salad marked the start of dinner service, where guests were served a choice of miso-glazed grilled salmon with cilantro couscous, zinfandel + rosemary marinated filet of beef with mashed potatoes and sautéed kale, or wild mushroom ravioli, served in a light tarragon sauce. After dinner, guests enjoyed wedding cake, as well as espresso mousse shots and red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. 

Such a stunning couple and evening. We are honored to have been a part of Jules + Rob's incredible celebration and wish these two continued happiness.

Cheers,
