Our Favorite 2010 Wedding Images....so far!

2010 has been our best year yet! I've been thinking back over all of the amazing brides and weddings and thought I'd do a post for all of you to see my favorites so far...

{FYI: Click on the bride and groom's names for a full gallery of their wedding}

January: Lauren & Ryan

The sweetest "first look" ever, captured by Eli Murray Photography.

February: Michelle & George

This culturally rich wedding was full of Assyrian and Greek traditions in honor of the groom and bride's (respectively) heritage. A belly dancer even entertained the guests during dinner! Photo by Melody-Hubbell Photography.

March: Ashley & John

Ashley cried when she walked into the ceremony space for the first time. She said it was so beautiful, it took her breath away. I happen to agree! Photo by Benfield Photography.

April: Marion & Clark

Marion wore her mother and grandmother's wedding gown and a veil that had been passed down in her family for over 200 years! This beautiful image shows this incredible heirloom off to its fullest. Photo by Benfield Photography.

April: Ashley & Chad

There were so many great images by Jamie Clayton to choose from, but this one makes me laugh. Ashley's bridesmaids fixing her make-up in the middle of the dance floor. I absolutely love it!

May: Tyler & Kevin

Melissa McCrotty captured some incredible moments in Tyler and Kevin's big day. But I adore this peaceful moment of the day just before they made their entrance into the reception. What a beautiful setting!

Our June and July weddings have been incredible so far! I cannot wait to get all of these images and share them with you. Stay posted for many more amazing weddings in 2010.

And than you to all of our brides, grooms, and their amazing families who have made this year so amazing. We love you all!

Sweetest Movie Wedding: A Walk to Remember

For the first time in years, I watched A Walk to Remember this weekend, and I had forgotten how utterly perfect the wedding was. It has to be the sweetest wedding in any movie. The expressions on the bride & groom's faces, the tiny chapel, the colorful wild flowers, the bride's heirloom dress and veil...

{Sorry for the poor quality! I took these of my TV after hours of searching the internet without luck}

I think I'm going to tear up again...

What great inspiration for a sweet, southern wedding?! It doesn't get much better than this. After all, what are wedding all about - love, family, and friends. And this one has them all.

Allison and Scott's wedding: 1 week from Today!

Allison and Scott will be married in Fayetteville on July 17th in a classically beautiful ceremony with a stunning, traditional reception following at the Town Center. We are stepping in to help with all the last minute details for week-of coordination, but Allison has been hard at work designing the wedding of her dreams.
She enlisted the help of Paper Designer extraordinaire, Amy Hannon of Sincerely Yours Paper to create a timeless invitation suite. And as always, Amy succeeded with flying colors!
I love the black and gray print layer. Absolutely gorgeous!

I'll post more details from their wedding after the big day from their incredible photographer, Jeremy Cavness. Stay tuned...

Bouquet Inspiration

This bouquet from Yes, please is absolutely adorable! So fun and whimsical with a little rustic edge from the succulents. LOVE it...
