Melissa and Alex's wedding at the Biltmore Estate

I just love this couple...from the first time I met them I knew that they would be so much fun to work with! Alex treated Melissa like a princess where ever we went, and I just was giddy over the love they had for each other. Thank you, Melissa and Alex, for asking me to help you with such a special and exciting day in your lives. It was so much fun! They were married on the South Terrace of the Biltmore House on October 4, 2008. After the ceremony, their guests enjoyed the gardens until shuttles took them to the Lioncrest for the cocktail reception, sit-down dinner and dancing! The weather was beautiful, and Melissa was radiant...it was a perfect day! You are about to see a lot of pictures because I couldn't narrow it down too well! :)

Thank you, Corey and Jeremy (with Corey McNabb Photography) for such amazing pictures. You know that I adore the work that you two do! And thank you, once again, to The Bloom Room, for the spectacular floral design!




What a wonderful moment Corey captured...



Isn't this adorable?


I absolutely love this picture of Alex's father...he just couldn't hold back the tears....so sweet.

Rebecca and Brian's Wedding at Grove Park Inn

Rebecca and Brian were married on November 1st at the Grove Park Inn. Despite it being November, the weather was gorgeous and warm! It was perfect for an outdoor ceremony on the Mountain View Terrace. The night before, at the rehearsal dinner, everyone dressed up in their Halloween best. What a fun time of the year for a wedding! Thank you to Audrey Goforth for these photographs....





I love this moment...










Becca and her daddy...love it.

Southern Wedding Magazine Launch Party!

Well, my husband and I had a wonderful time away in Atlanta this past Sunday. Why were we in Atlanta?? For the Southern Weddings Magazine Launch party! It was so great getting to finally meet the gals behind this fun and relevant new magazine. I puffy heart their blog, and I was just as thrilled with their magazine. The launch party was held at the elegant Dogwood Restaurant in downtown Atlanta. My husband and I had such a great time just getting away, making new friends, and relaxing together. Thank you, SW!

Here are some pics that Jonathan captured of the evening...



Lara Casey, the publisher and editor-in-chief, and me! Lara, I am so happy for you!


The party...


Rachel, creative director, and me! Little did I know, but Rachel went to my high school! Small world! Don't you love when life throws surprises at you? :) Looking forward to reconnecting!


This picture turned out blurry, but I still wanted to show off the beautiful Laura Eastes, managing editor. She was first one to greet us when we walked in the door...so gracious. So nice to meet you Laura!


This was the featured couple on the cover of the magazine. So glad they could make it to the party! Aren't they an adorable couple?


As we left, there were bags of goodies for each of us...how sweet!
