Real Wedding - Georgia

ABC member planner: Callie Garrett,We Tie The Knots, Atlanta, 770.597.0023,callie@wetietheknots.com, www.wetietheknots.com.Photographer: Christy Parry Photography.Other businesses involved: Candler Park Flower Mart (floral), King Plow Arts Center (venue), KissAtlanta (DJ).The couple: Laura and Dan are very down-to-earth and were both very involved in the planning process. They really wanted to ensure their guests had a great time and enjoyed the environment.Inspiration: Overall, it was rustic/modern. The couple wanted a modern and casual feel, yet still elegant. That’s exactly what we got from the bridesmaids’ dresses, which were each different styles but all made of black chiffon, coupled with the floral arrangements. The yellow accent color really popped well with the industrial venue and black linens.Color palette: Yellow and grays.Approximate budget: $30,000.Most unique design element: The ceremony was “in the round,” with the bride and groomstanding in the center of the circle.Biggest challenge: Not letting the bride and groom run into each other throughout the day because their staging rooms were right next to the photography locations.Hindsight: In the future, I would definitely allow time after pictures (during cocktail hour) for the bride and groom to sit alone to refresh and have a chance to enjoy being married before the reception begins.
