Sally & Nelson's Savannah Round House Museum and Savannah Station Winter Wedding

This image of Sally in the cotton field, may just be one of my favorites of 2012. I just love it. 
Sally & Nelson were married at the Savannah Round House Museum in the Blacksmith's shop. Harvey Designs added just the right drama by suspending lights behind the alter. While the rest of the space was dim, the room was light with lanterns and candles. First City Events' DJ Jeff provided the sound and the ceremony was full of meaning and love. After the I do's, guests headed to Savannah Station for a fun filled evening of dinner and DANCING. Each table featured a chevron runner, gold chargers, and cake centerpieces. Katie McGee did a great job on the photos-I'll let them do the talking-enjoy! Thankfully, Bonnie

Melissa & Steve's Forsyth Park and Vic's on the River Savannah Wedding

Melissa and Steve were so sweet to work with. We hit it off quickly after our first meeting and had a great time when they were able to come to town to work on planning & cake tastings. Melissa knew she wanted a beautiful purple and gold theme, not too stuffy with great food and fun. She also wanted to bring in a little bit of their connection with baseball (Steve's a baseball coach). For the ceremony, A to Zinnias did lovely iron alter arrangements filled with hydrangeas and petals down the aisle. We decided on a gold shimmer crush linen with egg plant satin napkins and purple centerpieces created by Vic's on the River for the Reception. The guest book consisted of a home plate and Moritz Jersey. Savannah had it's annual Lighted Christmas parade that evening and guests were able to look out on the balconies and see the glowing floats go by on River Street. It made for some fun dinner entertainment. After dinner, the group danced the night away with FCE DJ Jeff and they ended their evening with a sparkler exit to a classic car.

Amber & Eric's Old Fort Jackson Savannah Wedding

Amber's invites tell it all! They were such a fun group & thankfully a laid back group...Super Storm Sandy was coming through that week and were watching closely to see where it was headed. Amber & Eric played it cool and never stressed. Thankfully. Savannah was spared and we actually had a very lovely day. 
The theme was rustic romance with many DIY touches. With everything from curtains made by Amber's mom that hung at the reception to the back drop made by her dad for the ceremony  there was a piece of her family in all of the details. Kiwi Fleur added her touch with beautiful hydrangeas, roses, berries, dusty miller, and scabisa pods. One of my favorite moments during the ceremony was when Eric got down on one knee and said vows to Amber's daughter Sami. It was so sweet. After the ceremony guests enjoyed a fun reception under the pavillion. There was also a s'mores station by a camp fire, corn hole on the lawn, and a photo booth. After a southern style buffet dinner, DJ Jeff K kept them on the dance floor all night until it was time for the fireworks over the river. Keeping with the magic of the fireworks, Amber and Eric shared a sparkler exit before heading to their happily ever after. 
Thankfully, Bonnie
