FOR BRIDES // THE NOT WEDDING

I really can't say enough good things about The Not Wedding. Christina {who won the Blushing Bride Give-away!} and I were BLOWN AWAY by the variety of talent presented at the event. From flowers to food, nothing but excellence was put on display. It would take FOREVER to list all of the fabulous vendors, but I'll be sure to give credit where I can. To see the full line-up of loveliness, click here.

This year I was simply an attendee at the event--a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The main photographers for the event were: Chelsea Patricia, The Long Farewell and Once Like a Spark. Definitely check out their work and give them some love. They are incredible photographers in the Atlanta area.

I hope these images inspire you fully! Enjoy, friends. ♥

Lovely utilization of the Ambient+ Studios entrance. Decor by Andrea Gray Harper.

This beautiful {and ABSOLUTELY tasty!} wedding cake was baked and designed by Apple-Butter Bakery. Yum...

These vintage church pews, as well as all of the Barnwood Tables {HANDMADE Barnwood Tables!!!} were from the fabulous Four Inch Fold | Vintage Rentals. Can I also mention that their website design is just beautiful? So crisp and clean and classic. LOVE.

This suh-weeet & crafty paper decor served as a backdrop to the reception dinner. (Which was TO DIE FOR. Check out the catering services of Sun in My Belly. You will NOT be disappointed.)

The Guestbox is a super fun and unique way to capture all of the guests at your wedding. Me and Christina gave it a shot, and couldn't stop laughing. Our little clip is guaranteed to be memorable. Just imagine Auntie-So-and-So belting the lyrics to her favorite love song to you--captured on camera. Yep, it's the good, fun, stuff like that which sets The Guestbox apart from any guest book/photo booth you've ever experienced.

Friends, prepare to swooooon. This table caught my heart from the moment I spotted it across the room. A floral+fruit design, adorned with vintage glassware and votive candles, created a feeling nothing less than mesmerizingly elegant. The lovely design was done by Amy Osaba | event.floral.design. Seriously, I could take pictures of Amy's Work for hours. Top Floral recommendation, hands-down.

This specialty stitched invitation was designed and created by the fabulous Jessica {out of Milledgeville!} of A Darling Day. I was thrilled to get to talk to Jessica at the event {we actually have a mutual friend!} I look forward to working on some exceptionally wonderful projects with Jessica in the near future!

Ashley of Buzzy Craftery designed this fabulous invite, as well as the incredible paper goods featured in Abbie & Matt's Atlanta Wedding.

And now for CEREMONY snapshots!

Lighting and Sound done by Live Event Solutions. Stage built and decorated by Adorned Event Design. These incredible lanterns over the ceremony location were created by Brown Linen & Co. True Story: Christina was able to talk to Abany and ended up PURCHASING these for her Big Day! SO EXCITING! This discovery/purchase alone made the trip more than worth it! We were both squealing with excitement. ;)

The best bridesmaid attire I have ever seen: CORE | Bridesmaid Couture.

The Officiant led the ceremony in "Spoken Word" style, and I must say, I was fully impressed... even to tears. {Although I'm a complete sap the moment the True Love Story unfolds.}

The night was utterly enjoyable.

Thank you SO much to The Not Wedding team for all of the heart you put into making this event so wonderful.

I look forward to the many Not Weddings to come!
