 The July 31^st wedding of Amy Holland and Grady Morris in Hartwell, GA was a beautiful union accented with some of the finest florals to be found in the midst of the late summer heat. The ceremony was held at Hartwell First Methodist Chruch followed by a lovely reception at the Cateechee Golf Club. The bride chose a beautiful variety of blooms in a vivacious color scheme of bright pinks, oranges, and yellows.

Beautiful August wedding at the Georgia State Botanical Garden's Day Chapel. The bride carried a beautfil bouquet of spider mums, orchids, and hydrageas which gracefully complimented the groom's orchid and berry boutonniere. The couple's ceremony honored both the groom's Jewish background and the bride's Scottish ancestry. An unforgettable event accented with some of the most beautiful blooms of the season!

Lush gardens, quiet countryside, and a traditional Southern home create the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. Katie and Kasey found this to be true at the beautiful Ashford Manor.

We love to incorporate different elements into the wedding ceremonies and receptions that we design. A great way to do this is through pew candelabras. If you are having a wedding in a chapel or sanctuary these candelabras are a wonderful way to create a walkway because the candelabras attach to the pews.  The floral arrangements are created a sturdy plastic container that fits perfectly into the candelabra. So not only can the arrangements be used in the wedding, but they can also be transported to the reception site and used as centerpieces.

A wedding is a wonderful celebration of a couples love and the beginning of their journey together as a couple. So why not celebrate surrounded by your favorite things? In this month's article of Southern Distinction, Magdalena shows readers how to incorporate a theme into your wedding. The article features a Moroccan themed wedding centered around vivid colors that were emphasized throughout the floral arrangements. The bright oranges, pinks, reds, and deep blues and purples set a wonderful, Moroccan theme and helped make the bride's wedding everything she dreamed of.

On March 7, 2010 Tzipporah and Marc shared their nuptials at a beautiful old mill, just outside of Atlanta.  The bride chose a very colorful and exotic palette for her flowers, including green and purple dendrobium orchids, lavendar and orange roses, blue delphinium, and tropical hot pink ginger.  The flowers made for an opulent affair, and truly enlivened the space.

On Sunday, March 14th Christina Collier and Daniel Cole wed among an intimate gathering of family members at the Taylor-Grady House. The bride looked stunning as she walked down the aisle with a simple, yet elegant and sophisticated bouquet of white roses and hydrangeas. At the reception, more of the couple's extended family and friends joined them in celebrating their union and it reflected the same theme of simple sophistication. The arrangements were accented with red berries and bright greenery for added interest!

The rain and cold that had settled in on Athens for several days in early March, subsided just in time for wedding of Jessica Brischler and Adam Buchanan.  The two exchanged their vows at the University of Georgia Chapel on Saturday, March 13th, 2010, with the reception to follow at the Classic Center.  The bride tastefully chose a beautiful spring mix of flowers for both the ceremony and reception, including blue and purple hydrangea, lavendar roses and green hypericum berries.  The flowers were accented by beautiful iron candelabras and centerpiece baskets.  The wedding was truly an e
