Done and done. They also used adjectives like "elegant and romantic," to describe the inspiration for their wedding, but beyond that, Christina + Rob wanted their special day to evoke celebration. Mission accomplish! There to tie all the loose ends together were the gals from <a href="http://thesentimentalistatl.com/">The Sentimentalist</a>, who not only assisted with the wedding dress, but also were Christina + Rob's stylists and planners, a true treat for us! Then there's <a href="http://iwallyphoto.com/">iWally Photography</a>, who knocked it out. of. the. park. These images are exactly what the doctor ordered! <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiAyqvK27TOovwm_RiGZRyBgyQU5m7nzwPfymC9SDRsKm8dPos0We4aKRNxk_U9fu0DqV-DCLaEzwEZkWc6QSh4A6JDjcAkCoFeNiBNYygAeBxf2G4M7IoQ1LjXId2QRGBzAMwCLrKlImj/s1600/tina%252Brob3.jpg" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_UGUr65Z1Y1fxSzaYqDS_8DFgVti5cpjogxMHywkEBe8pz-ZRC2cXIPj2dDgMrBtbIU8Xl9477oXz13OiRWyH5XiRmq4FnrL9vRZiueLKFUTD2FePk43gxJ5dblo4AZmrGTshcDaCGflT/s1600/tina%252Brob4.jpg" />What a show stopper! Inspired by 1920s and 1930s art deco, graphics for the wedding used bold typography, and the floral and event design incorporated metallics, deep jewel tones and some sparkle. <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">Amy Osaba</a> was, once again, at the helm of this wedding's brilliant bouquets and centerpieces. Christina + Rob, along with their guests were charmed by the beautiful backdrop of <a href="http://www.riverrunride.com/">River Run</a>, a working equestrian club that is refined and rustic all in the same breath. But the pretty background and decor didn't stop the guests from cutting loose on the dance floor when <a href="http://www.myzegi.com/">Zegi</a> took over. Such a fun and lively crew! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8GL_s9lGzBO8oraiR60lIgkSkEstxw3eszKY4c_D_dNxsQ3xqeA8jKqk25fr9PrPYCjmqGw9DsNJqCOy2Ml8awMNrWqTOWyPSL2QtgPzwcvtTjbTBK8IvLzvMq-U8tAuMFfhgjYeDz6a/s1600/tina%252Brob5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8GL_s9lGzBO8oraiR60lIgkSkEstxw3eszKY4c_D_dNxsQ3xqeA8jKqk25fr9PrPYCjmqGw9DsNJqCOy2Ml8awMNrWqTOWyPSL2QtgPzwcvtTjbTBK8IvLzvMq-U8tAuMFfhgjYeDz6a/s1600/tina%252Brob5.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
<i>"The culinary and events team at Sun in my Belly exceeded our expectations throughout every touch point they handled leading up to and during our wedding day. From the time of our initial tasting to our final vendor walkthrough, owner & executive director Max LeBlanc made us feel super comfortable and taken care of. Max was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, organized and attentive throughout our partnership. Because our wedding was taking place at a venue that had never hosted a wedding before, we faced some challenges throughout the planning process. Max offered up great ideas and solutions – we found workarounds that all of our partners were able to collaborate together on.</i><br />
<i>We initially engaged SIMB for our cocktail hour and seated dinner catering, but we ended up also using their resources for bar & beverage service and furniture / table / linen rentals. Their offerings from a capabilities stand point is truly impressive - it made decision making towards the end of the process really convenient and simple. Max and his team worked closely with us to customize our guest experience. They helped create an evening that was so special, authentic and magical. Our friends and family still talk about how memorable the food and service was. We feel so fortunate to have been able to experience all the amazing things the SIMB culinary and events team has to offer. Thank you SIMB for making our day and night so delicious and perfect</i>!"<br />

But there is something special about the <a href="http://www.dekalbhistory.org/dekalb_history_center_facility-rental.htm">Old Courthouse</a> on the Square that really stands out to us. Maybe it's the proximity to our Kirkwood cafe, being that the historic courthouse is just a hop, skip, and jump away from us in <a href="http://www.dekalbhistory.org/dekalb_history_center_facility-rental.htm">downtown Decatur</a>. Or maybe it's the rich history that the once practicing courthouse holds. We can't put our finger on it exactly, but we do know that we are charmed by the place every time.

We always love a wedding at <a href="http://serenbeinn.com/">Serenbe</a>: It's the perfect scenery for romantic weddings, no matter what the size. So naturally when Melanie + Dan asked us to be a part of their small celebration at the fairy-tale-esc farm, we couldn't wait to see what was in store! With family in France, Melanie + Daniel were drawn to ideas of their heritage and the French countryside's culture, and wanted to make the <a href="http://serenbeinn.com/">Georgia farm</a> feel like a little piece of Provence. Boy, did they hit the nail on the head! With the help of their expert coordinator, <a href="http://jessicasloane.com/">Jessica Sloane</a>, Melanie + Dan isolated their top priorities when planning their wedding and kept them at the forefront, focusing on a romantic, intimate, and heartfelt celebration. As a photographer herself, Melanie knew better than to bargain shop when it came to her <a href="http://www.jessicalorren.com/">wedding photos</a>, so she used <a href="http://www.jessicalorren.com/">Jessica Lorren</a> to capture the brilliantly beautiful evening, and it certainly paid off.<br />

Sweet sentimental sap was just oozing from those old Georgia pines at <a href="http://serenbeinn.com/">Serenbe</a>! And everyone was loving it.</div>

Not only was their taste spot of for their overall mood of their wedding, but Melanie + Dan also selected a cast of crazy creative vendors to complete their special day. Serenbe's fields were adorned with vintage farm tables, lounge furniture, and bistro lights from <a href="http://www.goodwinrentals.com/">Goodwin Events</a>, and the gorgeous garland gracing said tables were from <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">Amy Osaba</a> and her clever crew.

For refreshments, Melanie + Dan selected several signature drinks like the <a href="http://www.suninmybelly.com/index2.php?v=v2#!/HOME">SIMB peach + basil</a> cooler, lavender lemonade, blackberry + clove spritzer, and rosemary + cardamon sparkler, talk about some thirst quenchers! During <a href="http://www.suninmybelly.com/index2.php?v=v2#!/HOME">cocktail hour</a>, baked brie served atop brioche toast points with <a href="http://www.suninmybelly.com/index2.php?v=v2#!/HOME">fig chutney</a>, duck confit + dried bing cherry chutney on crostini, and medjol dates wrapped in proscuitto with soft goat's cheese were passed around for guests, but definitely not passed up.

So when we were asked to participate in one of <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">Amy Osaba's</a> workshops, we were sort of thrilled!! It's no secret that we absolutely adore Ms. Osaba; her incredible <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">floral designs</a> and creative creations always leave us stunned, but beyond her talent, she's one of the best people we know! So <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">AO</a> hosted a two day flower workshop, and we played our part, providing dinner, drinks, and nourishments for her crafty crew.<span style="text-align: center;"> Oh, what fun!</span></div>

That's why when couples like Juliana + Allen come to us, we just know it's going to be a great fit! Juliana + Allen kept their wedding celebration super simple, but it completely encompassed their personalities and love, and was full of DIY details that were uhhhh-mazing. Their ceremony, set in the foyer of <a href="http://callanwolde.org/">Callanwolde Fine Arts Center,</a> was anchored on an arbor that Allen made himself, and that was filled with a homemade garland the happy couple created together, how sweet!?! Juliana designed the invitations and save the dates, created the table markers and seating board, and then to top it off, the bride and her family even created the centerpieces and bouquets. Talk about a crafty and creative couple! We're thankful that they came to use to help with the event planning catering, AND they chose our dear friend Amber at <a href="http://ourlaboroflove.com/">Our Labor of Love</a> to document the day! </div>

Juliana's laid-back look, completed with her great grandmother's handkerchief, a baby's breath halo, and a sentimental and sweet locket. Plus, the elegant garden party decor and feeling of the courtyard in <a href="http://callanwolde.org/">Callanwolde's</a> courtyard, with farm tables supplied by <a href="http://www.blueeyedyonder.com/">Blue Eyed Yonder</a>, and tiny twinkling bistro lights strung above.

Juliana + Allen selected shrimp ceviche with lime + cilantro + avocado + jicama, medjol dates wrapped in prosciutto wrapped with soft goat's cheese, and pepper crusted carpaccio crostini with arugula + cracked capers as their butler passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. Their buffet menu was made up of two of our wonderful salads, wild mushroom ravioli + truffled mushrooms + brown butter sauce, barbecue atlantic salmon finished with a peach + nectarine chutney, garlic + shallot sautéed haricot vert with grape tomatoes + toasted pine nuts, braised fennel with parmesan + pecans and fresh artisan breads with rosemary scented butter. For dessert, their "naked" cake, from <a href="http://www.sugarandslate.com/">Sugar and Slate</a>, served up different deliciousness on each layer, and as a nod to Juliana's Italian ancestry and late grandmother, a traditional cookie table was piled high with cookies we're still craving.</div>

She wowed us then and every wedding since! Genya's got an incredible eye for photography and the ambition to make any shot possible. And the proof is in the pudding... <a href="http://www.vuephotographyonline.com/">errrr pictures</a>. Time and time again we have felt so lucky to have weddings where she is listed at the photographer, knowing it's going to be a slam dunk, without a doubt. Just take a look for yourself.</span></div>

But after studying photography in college, and gearing up to go the commercial route, Genya took a job shooting a wedding while in England and fell in love! One exhausting 8 hour day later, she was hooked, and realized how priceless the opportunity to create precious art for clients, that they would hold dear forever, really was! She moved back to the States, and <a href="http://www.vuephotographyonline.com/">VUE</a> was born! Since then, she's been kicking butt and taking names, and it was an absolute treat to have her join us at Studio1658. She recently re-did our store front in Candler Park, proving she's got creativity flowing from her fingertips. </span></span></div>

Where to have it? What time of year? What sort of dress? Flowers? Food? Dessert? Band or DJ? It's the stuff that can (and does!) keep a girl up at night! But for Callen + Danny's beautiful backyard wedding, every piece of the puzzle fit just right and seemed effortless, like the whole thing was a perfectly packaged present for the happy couple. Maybe that's because Callen + Danny turned to the spectacular <a href="http://www.shannaskidmore.com/">Shanna Skidmore</a> to coordinate their wedding day. We met the darling Shanna years ago via <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">Amy Osaba</a>, and just can't get over her organization and grace... she's truly incredible!! Callen + Danny seemed to have a solid idea of what they wanted their wedding to look and feel like, so it seemed only natural to pick some of the best <a href="http://www.studio1658.com/">Studio1658</a> vendors available. This of course, includes the <a href="http://buffydekmarblog.com/">Buffy Dekmar</a>, the uber ingenious photographer behind these <a href="http://buffydekmarblog.com/">awesome photos</a>. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Besides always being a joy to collaborate with, AO also crushes the <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/portfolio/">floral design</a> game, as if you weren't already aware. For instance, <a href="http://www.shannaskidmore.com/">Shanna</a> and Amy's chuppa for Callen + Danny, one of the best we've ever seen! To top it off, add rentals from <a href="http://www.blueeyedyonder.com/">Blue Eyed Yonder</a> and <a href="http://www.goodwinrentals.com/">Goodwin Rentals</a>, and you've got yourself an absolute picturesque set up. These are to go-to companies to go for when it comes to rentals, <a href="http://www.blueeyedyonder.com/">BEY</a> has every aspect of vintage, one-of-a-kind, and sentimental pieces, while <a href="http://www.goodwinrentals.com/">Goodwin Rentals</a> covers everything from tents, to rustic tables, lighting and more. Both are <a href="http://www.studio1658.com/">Studio1658</a> vendors and the combination of the two makes for the most unbelievable furnished wedding.</div>

Callen, along with a few members of her immediate family, has food allergies that were of the upmost priority when it came to selecting a menu,which was no problem for our team. During <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">cocktail hour </a>guests noshed on seared crab cakes with ancho chili aoili, fried green tomatoes with spicy pimento cheese, and Alison's famous deviled eggs with candied bacon. Their large buffet dinner menu featured a trio of entrees, including <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">horseradish encrusted salmon</a> with season chutney, wild mushroom ravioli + truffled mushrooms + brown butter sauce, and pepper seared filet of beef with a burgundy demi glaze. Roasted sweet corn + zucchini in thyme butter, garlic + shallot sauteed haricot vert with grape tomatoes + toasted pine nuts, and roasted fingerling potatoes with truffled mushrooms were served up as sides. Callen + Danny skipped the traditional cake and went with a <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">dessert bar</a> featuring homemade chocolate chip cookies with chilled milk shots, red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing, lavender lemon tarts, and local apple tarts with a cinnamon crust.

Beth + Brian picked</span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.thebascom.org/">The Bascom: Center for Visual Arts </a> for their ceremony and reception, one of the neatest places we've ever been. Do you remember <a href="http://suninmybellyblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/kendall-patrick.html">Kendall + Patrick's</a> wedding from a few years ago in Highlands? That was our first trip to The Bascom, as K + P picked this gorgeous backdrop for some of their wedding pictures. But his time, we got to spend the whole day there, and soak up all of the good things <a href="http://www.thebascom.org/">The Bascom</a> has to offer. </span><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWodWWr1XiZ12NduKX3WRFmgVavoqGkRq009ofJ1tpMrDtrlTmxI1iNwlXEwIJANCBYjZCqfbrBGR-hqi5s9NVA9GJg4p9_kHLkX8y11X4hy0dowdrJ8AvcEAC41B4VzSyTlorqYY1xS4j/s1600/Fadely1.jpg" style="text-align: left;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQM0VrjLUlLqJIRQbr4W3awiCb7DCnFIWNI6TLaUBYRshUmu2hgBhyphenhyphenrWt2voO9EmkymlBaw_dftC0c0ZGAcXgPTlO8SXUxUK5lk52BY2iIMWbk4loMmH_HY2z-xuwyCXLz1Y0DoQCS1aHp/s1600/Fadely2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQM0VrjLUlLqJIRQbr4W3awiCb7DCnFIWNI6TLaUBYRshUmu2hgBhyphenhyphenrWt2voO9EmkymlBaw_dftC0c0ZGAcXgPTlO8SXUxUK5lk52BY2iIMWbk4loMmH_HY2z-xuwyCXLz1Y0DoQCS1aHp/s1600/Fadely2.jpg" /></a></div>

From their venue, to their flowers, to little natural accents throughout the evening, Beth + Brian's taste is top notch! Of course, they did have a little help in the form of their amazing wedding coordinator, Michelle with <a href="http://occasionsbyemily.com/">Occasions by Emily</a>. Plus, we were WILD about Beth's bouquet and all the sweet arrangements from <a href="http://www.fern-studio.com/">Fern Studio</a>. But our jaws really <a href="http://www.fern-studio.com/">hit the floor</a> when we saw the arbor at Beth + Brian's alter. It's so perfect, I mean really?! And of course, none of these show stopping details could be appreciated today if it weren't for <a href="http://harwellphotography.com/">the man</a>, the myth, the legendary Jeremy Harwell, of<a href="http://harwellphotography.com/"> Harwell Photography</a>.

Emily + Jim's </span><a href="http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org/" style="text-align: left;">Atlanta Botanical Garden</a> wedding is simple and sweet, in the very best way<span style="text-align: left;">. </span><br />

<span style="text-align: left;">There are a ton of elements that we love about this wedding, but one of our absolute favorites? It might be that lavender bouquet.

Emily and her girls' bouquets, and the floral arrangements were done by </span><a href="http://www.uniquefloralexpressions.com/" style="text-align: left;">Unique Floral Expressions</a><span style="text-align: left;">, and the simple cake topped with rosemary was a </span><a href="http://highlandbakery.com/" style="text-align: left;">Highland Bakery</a><span style="text-align: left;"> creation. After the I Dos and the dances, guests took advantage of </span><a href="http://smilebooth.com/" style="text-align: left;">Smilebooth</a><span style="text-align: left;">, there to snap tons of silly photos through the night. What a great vendor team! Some other fun facts that Emily passed along to us: The invitation included artwork done by the groom himself, and were letter pressed by the matron of honor, talk about sentimental meaning.</span></span></div>

Emily + Jim stuck to a cocktail themed menu, featuring <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">finger foods</a> and small plate stations throughout <a href="http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org/">Day Hall</a>. The Atlanta Station included coca-cola glazed ham served with miniature sweet potato biscuits + grainy mustard, our <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">mac n' cheese</a> (which if you haven't tried before, is out of this world!!), and a goat cheese torta with sundried tomatoes + basil pesto + pine nuts. The Carving Station featured a prime rib of beef with yellow onion confit + horseradish sauce, our fanta se salad with valencia oranges + avocado + spicy pecan with chile vinaigrette, and grilled asparagus with lemon butter drizzle. And finally the French Quarter Station served up <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">low country shrimp</a> + sausage over three cheese grits, garlic + shallot sautéed haricot vert with grape tomatoes + toasted pine nut, and beef steak tomatoes + red onion + charred corn with balsamic vinegar. And to round out Highland Bakery's <a href="http://highlandbakery.com/">cake</a>, Emily + Jim went for a super fun confection... COTTON CANDY! The inner child in everyone could not get enough.</div>

The wild spontaneity of wildflowers is perfect for a summer time wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the way <a href="http://victoryblooms.com/">Victory Blooms</a>' dreamy bouquets and centerpieces meshed with all of our seasonal stories. And to top it off, the lovely Mrs. Loesing, from<a href="http://yesma.am/"> Yes Ma'am Paper Goods</a>, lent her skills for the the super sweet invitation suite and table runner menu. </div>

Well we've got that in common then. But then there are also days that you look around and think-- <i>Wow! Is this really my job? How did I land this gig?!? </i>The latter happens on days like this one; When we get to go "work" with our darling friends in the industry, dance across brightly painting walls, and are surrounded by vibrance from all angles. Pinch us, we must be dreaming! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KCgpTleQzSTufh4N2VxpthkKbCH9qiyWE3Dbmd0Osf2GkX2yWb4y6g_hl6zBcT0juB1-gSzlL52a-rDGfxNymtf0SVlAmDPIx2QI6NsDoeT6Gsylgz34uUYj3bg8xk3fH4iB6BzRRe2e/s1600/CITY2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KCgpTleQzSTufh4N2VxpthkKbCH9qiyWE3Dbmd0Osf2GkX2yWb4y6g_hl6zBcT0juB1-gSzlL52a-rDGfxNymtf0SVlAmDPIx2QI6NsDoeT6Gsylgz34uUYj3bg8xk3fH4iB6BzRRe2e/s1600/CITY2.jpg" /></a><br />

We headed to <a href="http://www.westsideartscenter.com/">Weside Cultural Arts Center</a>, where inspiration is begging to be found, and met up with a few top notch vendors including the absolutely remarkable <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">Juli Vaughn</a>, who was mastermind behind the event design, floral design and styling with this delightful day. It should come as no surprise that Juli was responsible for this shoot; it screams Juli's name. Vibrant, fun, <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">full of energy</a>! Inspired by Atlanta's Living Walls project, <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">Juli</a> and <a href="http://www.vuephotographyonline.com/">Genya at Vue</a> teamed up and started brain storming on ways to celebrate the city scenes that we sometimes take for granted. Well guess what? They've got our attention. Coordinated by the marvelous Melissa of <a href="http://www.prettyswellparties.com/">Pretty Swell Parties,</a> and photographed by one of our most talented <a href="http://www.studio1658.com/">Studio1658</a> photographers, <a href="http://www.vuephotographyonline.com/">Vue Photography</a>, this shoot is so full of life, it explodes off the screen, and we cannot get enough! Are you ready for a little more razzle-dazzle now too?<br />

This was such a fun day, full of energy and <a href="http://www.35atlanta.com/">picture perfect</a> moments, and we're thrilled to share it with you today. Working with <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/">Simply Charming Socials</a> on one of our first weddings together was an incredible experience, and set us up for a continued vendor-friendship that we've enjoyed for a long time now. Remember when we gushed about <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/">SCS</a> in August? Well, here's further proof of their amazing abilities to tie together ideas, accents, and atmosphere to create a truly <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/">wonderful wedding</a>.</div>

This family owned and operated property is magical. Saying "I do" under a 200 year old oak tree, surrounded by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fair-Weather-Farms/157725000925392">rustic beauty</a> and shimmering water, Lauren + Christian had the right idea.

Not to mention the Southern chicness of Lauren + Christian's wedding. The vintage rentals from </span><a href="http://fourinchfold.com/" style="text-align: left;">4 Inch Fold</a><span style="text-align: left;"> and preppy pink pops against burlap and seersucker were just darling! </span></div>

After collecting Lauren + Christian's custom made koozies, and a few cocktails, guests made their way inside the screened in pavilion.

Lauren + Christian's <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/index2.php?v=v2#!/3/HORS_D%27OEUVRES/9">buffet menu</a> was made up of a balsamic glazed <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/index2.php?v=v2#!/3/DINNER_-_PLATED/11">free range</a> chicken breast with caramelized onions + fresh rosemary, grain mustard + aged balsamic roasted pork tenderloin, and fresh vegetables, including sautéed haricot vert with grape tomatoes and toasted pine nuts.

Which just goes to show that time flies when you're having fun, because it doesn't seem too long ago that we were enjoying a spring wedding celebration in <a href="http://www.piedmontpark.org/facilities/dockside.html">Piedmont Park</a> for Wendy + Chris. Their ceremony was super sweet and sentimental, as their closest family and friends gazed at the happy couple with Lake Clara Meer in the background. There was something so special about being in the heart of <a href="http://www.piedmontpark.org/facilities/dockside.html">Piedmont Park</a> and Midtown Atlanta for this wedding. It's like the whole world was spinning right outside, but Wendy + Chris made time stand still. We just loved it, and we know you will too, so take a look at all the delicious details of Wendy + Chris's wedding, shot by the skilled <a href="http://www.annaandspencer.com/1024.html">Anna and Spencer Photography</a>. </span></div>

Wendy + Chris kept their menu casual and fun, featuring some of their favorite finger foods, including out pistachio + coconut chicken satay with <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">lime + cilantro</a> coulis, Alison's famous meatloaf sliders on buttery brioche rolls, and wild mushroom + gruyere crostini with fresh thyme. Their <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">buffet menu</a> also included a beautiful antipasto display, cumin + sriracha spiced chick pea hummus, and basil laced roasted salmon with lemongrass creme fraiche. </span></div>

That's right, we're not a one trick pony, and when the amazing Jennifer + Ray came to us for a consultation, we knew it was a perfect match. Not only between them, but for us to provide coordination, flowers, and design for this lovely little laid back couple. The creative guru Max LeBlanc rolled up his sleeves and pulled every swatch from the book to create Jennifer's dream textures and color palates, and just like that SIMB took the reigns of Jennifer + Ray's wedding. Our first wedding at <a href="http://www.heritagesandysprings.org/Facilities/wedding-celebrations.html">Heritage Sandy Springs</a> was a big project, but we're pretty pleased with the outcome, and with <a href="http://www.amandasummerlin.com/">Amanda Summerlin</a> behind the lens, we've got the photos to let you see what we mean.<br />

They were married under "cloud" of manzanita branches, garden roses, ranunculus, anemones and hanging lanterns. For her bouquet, Jennifer wanted a soft, snowy, loose arrangement, wrapped in a personal scarf for an heirloom effect. Our always ingenious Alison Lueker hit the nail on the head and delivered the day-of, finding the perfect balance between elegant romance and casual whimsy with Jennifer + Ray's floral designs.<br />

Tomato napoleon with fresh basil and buffalo mozzarella with a green goddess dressing, and coriander + cumin grilled shrimp served curried mango sauce were part of the dinner menu. Along with grain mustard and aged balsamic pork tenderloin and roasted cauliflower + dried cherries + toasted pine nuts. After dinner Jennifer + Ray cut their creative cake from <a href="http://www.cakesbydarcy.com/">Cakes by Darcy</a>, delicious desserts from our pastry department were passed around, and guests broke it down on the dance floor, until the happy couple was swept away into the night.<br />

Graham + Michael's wedding is one for the books, and we couldn't be more proud to have been a part of their stunning celebration in Sharpsburg, Ga. This wedding is soaked in good ol' Southern charm, which of course means family first. Graham + Michael chose to have their ceremony and reception at Graham's family farm, where the renovated barn and rolling hills were sprinkled with rustic farm tables and mis-matched chairs, brought in by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vrcatlanta">The Vintage Rental Company</a>. And the simple and chic centerpieces and bouquets, with garden roses, Queen Anne's lace, and peonies, were made by family friends (we know, right?!?). Shot by <a href="http://oncelikeasparkslides.com/journal/highlights-graham-michaels-wedding-at-rolling-meadows-farm-in-sharpsburg-ga-with-paige/">Paige</a> of <a href="http://www.oncelikeaspark.com/">Once Like a Spark</a>, the photos are just the way we remember this evening...heart stopping!</div>

Their families, wedding party, and guests were just the same, which made this picturesque evening all the more perfect. Ironically though, only two hours before the ceremony, we weren't sure this wedding was going to happen at all, because it was pouring!! Setting up for a wedding in an open field with little shelter, during one of the worst summer thunderstorms we could imagine wasn't exactly ideal. But by some miracle, about an hour before the ceremony, the sky clears up, and there wasn't a cloud in sight by 6:00pm. It couldn't have been a more gorgeous night.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eXw6mQvOJBPscEJj0bpxIwYjstkXzzYwbzbpW2iH4Rj2K4qFt5OVI_Lnb_is4Pk42YDHedR40SmNlHpW6otEcsfdSqnRLUJ2eu80oIp6M1I0B0lnqhTIYnJN2fgJS8SCZvf_XtOfvuwX/s1600/Graham+Michael9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eXw6mQvOJBPscEJj0bpxIwYjstkXzzYwbzbpW2iH4Rj2K4qFt5OVI_Lnb_is4Pk42YDHedR40SmNlHpW6otEcsfdSqnRLUJ2eu80oIp6M1I0B0lnqhTIYnJN2fgJS8SCZvf_XtOfvuwX/s1600/Graham+Michael9.jpg" /></a></div>

During cocktail hour, our all star appetizers were fried green tomatoes with spicy pimento cheese, mini crab cakes with ancho aioli, and chorizo + cheddar hand pies. While their <a href="http://www.suninmybelly.com/">tapas dinner stations</a> included a mason station with build your own shrimp and grits, buttermilk fried chicken skewers, a traditional wedge salad, and our deconstructed corn muffin, carolina pulled pork, and purple slaw jars. The carving station leaned towards the traditional side, with caesar salad, roasted seasonal vegetables, country bread, and prime rib with a yellow onion confit + horseradish sauce. The delicious desserts and cake were provided by <a href="http://www.bloomingflourbakery.com/index2.php">Blooming Flour Bakery</a>. </div>

That wedding planner was Danielle Copeland, who would later partner with Kristine Cholakian, then a recent transplant from Manhattan, to create <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/">Simple Charming Socials</a>, an Atlanta-based luxury event planning and design company, specializing in weddings, socials, styled shoots, and <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/">making us swoon</a>. Since it's inception, Simply Charming Socials has been wowing us with their wedding coordination and perfectly breezy planning methods, and with Kristine taking the reins almost a year ago, SCS has catapulted onto a whole new level.<br />

Kristine recently launched <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/charmschool/">Charm School: Lovely Lessons for the Blushing Bride</a>, a series of mini sessions and workshops aimed to answer questions and give advice about everything from wedding etiquette to design inspiration. You can catch SCS's <a href="http://www.simplycharmingsocials.com/charm-school-workshop/">full day workshop</a> on August 17th at Summerour.</div>

Featuring a bevy of whimsical charm and vintage goods, as well as some of the common questions they get from future brides, that they hope to answer at Charm School. SCS's <a href="http://www.studio1658.com/">window display</a> is just darling, but they're not the only ones posing questions. We asked Kristine a few of our own, and here's what she had to say. </span></div>

Maria + Craig's wedding is a perfect example of how to tailor a wedding celebration into a reflection of your heritage, beliefs, and relationship. Soft hues, romantic fleurs, and vintage keepsakes makes it easy to imagine this ceremony and reception took place in the French countryside, but we're happy to say we didn't have to travel that far to achieve this amazing experience. Maria + Craig's ceremony took place at the absolutely breathtaking <a href="http://www.sacredheartatlanta.org/index.php?lang=en-US">Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus</a>, on Peachtree, while the ethereal reception was set at <a href="http://callanwolde.org/">Callanwolde</a>, just a skip and a jump away from the cafe.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFA0rYPjJe9fiIGikvCss8_Sgmof01VvA_h1Eg_8RHrhebNCyDIcewfCrpCcQ4LZ0FVtTXnJ1xj5qdt3W__fxtwWvmyLShbaPwH3yxvXNaagidvDKQhcVbuKXdJra0vIOYIFiJMYx8HWnf/s1600/maria+craig2.jpg" /></div>

Full of history, charm, and beauty, </span><a href="http://callanwolde.org/" style="text-align: left;">Callanwolde Fine Arts Center</a><span style="text-align: left;"> was a perfect match for Maria + Craig's wedding. Speaking of perfect matches, <a href="http://www.katybees.com/">Katy Bee's Event and Design</a> coordinated Maria + Craig's wedding, making sure every element was perfectly in place, and <a href="http://victoryblooms.com/">Victory Blooms</a> floral designs were classic and romantic. These lovely local vendors shined bright on Maria + Craig's wedding day, and <a href="http://www.mylifephoto.com/">My Life Photograph<u>y</u></a> captured this seemingly effortlessly beautiful occasion in these images.</span></div>

Their seated and served dinner menu consisted of several courses, starting with a local greens salad topped with fried vidalia onions and homegrown tomatoes. For their entrees, Maria + Craig chose a pepper seared filet with a burgundy demi glaze and our free-range chicken served with a bourbon + pecan butter sauce. And for dessert, as a nod to Maria's heritage, petit fours from <a href="http://www.douceurdefrance.com/">Douceur de France</a> and tres leches cake from <a href="http://www.artbyliud.com/">Art By Liud </a>were served.</div>

For this sweet styled shoot at <a href="http://novareevents.com/my-portfolio/summerour-studio/">Summerour Studio</a>, we were inspired by the sunny, lush, and rustic villages along the coast of Italy. </span><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKEmZqDikuiXK9LK6QaFxhWHA5VK8s9FfHzRCAVSt3AqPXonGyKbHARMUJEjcXF812Exm5Sv0NNlKlQyNgaTRyaJEZcqCM-_MHT753PgLSHLPz5Cb0lvKN1HJzdK14jAqAP13xKMqopN-8/s1600/pbitaly6.jpg" /><br />
<span style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">With creeping vines over stone walls, fresh citrus at your fingertips, and limoncello for days, scenes from cities like Sorrento and Naples were brought to life in the <a href="http://novareevents.com/my-portfolio/summerour-studio/">heart of Atlanta</a>. This playful photo shoot, coordinated by <a href="http://www.andreacarterartistry.com/">Andrea Carter</a> and shot by Hollie at <a href="http://lytlefoto.com/">Lytle Foto</a>, was filled to the brim with character and perfectly corresponding details. <a href="http://www.andreacarterartistry.com/">Andrea's</a> citrus chandelier, Sophia Loren inspired styling, and simple coastal Italian accents set this shoot into motion. Che bella! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwm2NPi-Z7KEu0pW2pmQVV4p6UMcfdhMHM9rBoxuxRifEr6TauY1h3VJU18QuQln8LQFbbFSnLsimEW9s_vOpYR97Xdw_5GrflC2fuAaYLqGFKej5Pv_yZbXO2Qisg3iJ1SEjNzz8cHXGM/s1600/PBitaly3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwm2NPi-Z7KEu0pW2pmQVV4p6UMcfdhMHM9rBoxuxRifEr6TauY1h3VJU18QuQln8LQFbbFSnLsimEW9s_vOpYR97Xdw_5GrflC2fuAaYLqGFKej5Pv_yZbXO2Qisg3iJ1SEjNzz8cHXGM/s1600/PBitaly3.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1oqs7QQctIVcW6aIHibto7VX4MuUvTQHfB_I15IfYvrVJU3aaWFgSmrIrL2XftxMFcPPtGRlrHVu3XZ8ecClJfw6aHOOmzdnF5deLt6BYp1xBtPBhCSz5EKsbWqPQ0hJ_FqteK12lH8-/s1600/pbitaly7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1oqs7QQctIVcW6aIHibto7VX4MuUvTQHfB_I15IfYvrVJU3aaWFgSmrIrL2XftxMFcPPtGRlrHVu3XZ8ecClJfw6aHOOmzdnF5deLt6BYp1xBtPBhCSz5EKsbWqPQ0hJ_FqteK12lH8-/s1600/pbitaly7.jpg" /></a>When <a href="http://www.andreacarterartistry.com/">Andrea</a> asked us to join forces for this shoot, it was a no brainer. First of all, we love <a href="http://novareevents.com/my-portfolio/summerour-studio/">Summerour</a>; it may be one of our top picks for true <a href="http://novareevents.com/my-portfolio/summerour-studio/">Atlanta venues</a>. It's the perfect mix or modern and rustic, and truly feels like a little slice of Italy-- dripping in charm! Secondly, have you noticed the talent these vendors bring to the table?! Let's begin with the legendary <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">Juli Vaughn</a>, responsible for the lush florals and clever styling behind this shoot. From creating gorgeous garland, to finding the perfect way to display citrus accents in the trees, <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">bouquets</a> and centerpieces, <a href="http://julivaughn.com/">Juli</a> brilliantly pulled all the Italian elements together in the most beautiful way we could have imagined. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqozdcaTMEoKTPLmx_d5pxltrWiHIpK_yNC0D9QzzAjrQ1E8oknrC1zdAAE6x_m0ryisODJsk0-JhFTjvCz2QHaix2xJiMPZDjrfZwa7Y_SxiiXDfC42U5_BmK0P_DZ3nJmVbvEvn2Fay/s1600/pbitaly10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqozdcaTMEoKTPLmx_d5pxltrWiHIpK_yNC0D9QzzAjrQ1E8oknrC1zdAAE6x_m0ryisODJsk0-JhFTjvCz2QHaix2xJiMPZDjrfZwa7Y_SxiiXDfC42U5_BmK0P_DZ3nJmVbvEvn2Fay/s1600/pbitaly10.jpg" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZR-w-_QPf_Bv4cbw1C11TbxyTNgraYLW9u_ZfS3RQnXpd2zGrzzzTn9Pu2BTlqi76a11n0vKZGjll3uhcK0NakZwrOOoHOxEeC-mLlIQA5Y8vwTyzjXK4Tqvqc4mwhK9FzDOzK_pK-2C/s1600/Italian1.jpg" /></a><span style="text-align: left;">Our dear friend, <a href="http://yesma.am/">Erica Loesing</a>, took this shoot to the next level with Yes Ma'am's <a href="http://yesma.am/">paper goods</a>. The golden and citrus hues in the invitation suite and the Italian word paper cuts were darling. Eileen Carter Creation's cake was adorned with lemons and kumquats and also sported one of <a href="http://yesma.am/">Erica's laser cuts </a>as a topper, and found a perfect spot on a vintage bar cart from <a href="http://www.crush-event-rentals.com/">Crush Event Rentals</a>.

The gorgeous images, courtesy of Heidi at <a href="http://ourlaboroflove.com/">Our Labor of Love</a>, are so lovely and take us right back to this intimate and tender day. So special for us!<br />

<span style="background-color: clear;">When your life revolves around good company and <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">great food</a>, you definitely know how to host a party. As <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">SIMB</a>'s founder, head chef, and co-owner, Alison Lueker-Ritter surely didn't disappoint, filling every nook and cranny of her and Chris' wedding day with <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">delicious food</a>. As guests arrived, they noshed off a beautiful charcuterie display, deviled eggs, and nippy dip, a family recipe that is a staple at Ali's family gatherings. After the sun-kissed ceremony, butternut squash soup shots with miniature grilled cheese and <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">smoked trout</a> served atop beet chips with creme fraiche were passed to mingling guests. Ali designed a four-course meal that featured some of her favorite flavors for dinner, and encouraged guests to swap stories and sip wine for hours under the twinkling lights.</span></div>

The intimate ceremony, dinner, and dance party were held at Lullwater, a gorgeous estate and private venue managed by <a href="http://suninmybelly.com/">Sun in my Belly</a>, and Ali + Chris's home. Beyond being incredibly sentimental for the location, Ali had a hand in every element of the wedding's design, filling every detail with thoughtfulness and love.

A polished, southern style wedding would be ideal in this space, and at just over an hour from Atlanta, this venue is accessible, but feels so secluded. Really, it is just darling; we already can't wait to go back! </div>

The possibilities are endless when it comes to picking a venue in Atlanta, and each location has it's own vibe and appeal. But there is no doubt that the <a href="http://www.thecontemporary.org/">Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center</a> is one of the most unique and one of our favorite venues in the heart of downtown. Erica + Kevin certainly saw all of the charm and whimsy, and hosted their ceremony and reception in the outdoor spaces of <a href="http://www.thecontemporary.org/">ACAC</a>, mixing soft, romantic elements with the<a href="http://www.thecontemporary.org/"> urban space.</a> </div>

We were immediately drawn to this peachy invitation suite she had on display in the tunnel of love, but our hearts pretty much stopped when we saw the gold glitter envelope that matched. Since then, we've kept our eye on Ashley and have watched her grow her <a href="http://www.ashleybuzzy.com/">business and skills</a> along the way. She recently launched her new website and <a href="http://www.ashleybuzzy.com/everyday-paper/">online store</a>, making it easy, maybe too easy (sorry wallet), for you to own a piece of her handmade designs. </span></div>

Alex + Mark just radiate love, and <a href="http://thereasonilove.com/">The Reason's photos</a> captured their tenderness so well. We have to be honest though, this day was far from "ideal." It rained consistently, from start to finish, and just about every moment in between, on the day of Alex + Mark's wedding. But you would have never known! Spirits were high, love was in the air, and everything came together perfectly for one of the most epic and awe inspiring weddings in SIMB's history.<br />

The views from <a href="http://walnuthillfarmevents.com/WalnutHillFarmEvents.com/Welcome.html">Walnut Hill Farm</a>, a renovated llama farm in Dalton... we're not sure it gets better! Despite being saturated, there is no denying this venue is ridiculously beautiful, and from the ceremony to cocktail hour, to dinner and the reception, <a href="http://walnuthillfarmevents.com/WalnutHillFarmEvents.com/Welcome.html">Walnut Hill Farm</a> was an idyllic spot for this large celebration. If the <a href="http://walnuthillfarmevents.com/WalnutHillFarmEvents.com/Venue_Views.html">views</a> weren't enough to take a guest's breath away, the <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">floral designs</a> by <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">Amy Osaba</a> were sure to do the job. Romantic garden roses, ranunculuses, peonies and tons of garland for centerpieces and bouquets had us swooning, and the <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">gorgeous alter piece</a> made us weak in the knees. It's never a surprise that the ladies of <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">AO</a> bring the heat, but really, sometimes we are still in awe of the <a href="http://www.amyosaba.com/">beauty</a> they create. <br />

Alex + Mark's wedding was utterly and unbelievably out-of-this-world!
