Draped in Decadence

If you follow this blog at all, you know that much of my wedding-day wow came from the exquisite work of drape that swept magically across the ceiling, spanning the entire reception area. It was like nothing I had ever seen… which actually seems to be a recurring theme with the work from Event Drapery.

Event after event (wedding or not), their handy-work (yes, pun intended) is worth taking a second glance at. Beyond worth – you’ll have to struggle to keep your jaw off the floor and your hands to yourself. But in the famous words of a childhood tv mentor, “you don’t have to take my word for it…”

And now, they’ve got a brand-new website to match their incredible creativity and talent. Check it out at www.eventdrapery.com!

Visual Teaser!

Okay, so as you’re reading this, I am settling into the plush couches of my photographer’s studio, mentally (and emotionally) preparing to watch the premier slideshow of our wedding images! Of course, they’ve promised to let me be the first to see them, but as if I wasn’t excited enough, they sent me this little teaser to get the anticipation rolling (in high gear). Check out the magic that was the StudioWed dream team.

We're Re-Open for Business… in style!

So, it’s official on all sides – StudioWed has moved! We’re all settled into our new home in Suite 216. Now, you know (and I have quickly learned) that a group of party professionals like StudioWed’s vendors aren’t just going to lift their hands to raise the (new) roof to celebrate such a distinctive upgrade in real estate… They do what they do best–they throw an event dripping with grandeur and resonating with fun conversation from all of our favorite industry friends.

A HUGE thanks to Mr. Danny Wilson from The Savage Garden for the second-glance worthy arrangements, Tamara Gollob with I Do Linens for the breath-taking foundation of gorgeous linens, Sift! for a sweet bite of something new every time we made a circle through the studio, Lyghthouse Cocktails for her genius in a glass and the St. Germain’s signature cocktail. Our favorite DJs, both One Sound Entertainment and Amp’d Atlanta kept everyone grooving–even inspiring We Pamper’s massage specialists to add a little rhythm to their rub-downs!

And if you ever caught a lull in this chatty bunch’s conversation, you know it’s because they couldn’t stop indulging in the decadent Italian magic coming from A Divine Event‘s chic outdoor grill. Everyone washed it down in true vintage-chic style, through handmade straws from Foglio Press! And no worries–no one left without their memories, as Shutterbooth was there luring our guests behind the curtain for a funky photo in the booth!

Here’s a peek of all the fun we had that night – Thanks to Project Duo Photography for capturing the memories… Hope to see you, readers, in the new studio soon!

And the recap begins…

Hellooooo Readers! I am home! Back in the studio and ready to spill the deets of my big day with anyone who is willing to listen. Images are in the works, so this is just a typography teaser, but couldn’t wait to get back in touch with all of you!

My first thought since being back? Is it really all over? And, What the heck do I do now?

The obsessing, the worrying, the sleepless nights, the nail biting… Just kidding. I have to say that my engagement journey was one for the books. Yes, I can’t deny a few bouts with tears, but with the dream team of creative geniuses and problem solvers I had with me, looking back it was a piece of cake! And a whole lot of fun.

Here are the highlights…

Event Drapery manifested a show-stopping drape spanning the width of the “ballroom” in the gallery. I have never seen it anywhere else, and no one could stop talking about it!

Foglio Press pulled through with elegant day-of stationery, from delicately assembled programs to a positively vintage candy bar sign.

The Savage Garden and I Do Linens (CHAMPS!) created what (in my oh so modest opinion) the most beautiful group of tables I have EVER seen in my life. I even had a friend inspired to take the ideas into her own home!

Endive delivered (as usual) some of the best wedding food that exists out there. Anyone I’ve talked to since we got back has said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!

Livin’ Large, I have an announcement to make… You may have a new groupie on the way. Your Beatles covers were perfect and you kept everyone on their feet and smiling. I can’t wait to see some of the moves caught on film.

Shutterbooth, you gave me a platform to see a whole new side of some of our friends. The memory book will NEVER leave our coffee table!

For Goodness Cakes, although I only got one bite of my cake, it was hands-down a highlight to the evening. Rich, delicious, moist and decadent. I can’t wait to order more cakes from you… I may not even justify it with an occasion.

Obviously, Settee created such a nice point for people to ooh and ahh over with the rustic farm tables, giving the elegant room a hint of character.

And I am sure it goes without saying, but I am going to shout it from the rooftops, Lemiga Events is an absolute dream. I never worried about ONE thing on my wedding day. She brought me peace of mind to have the best night of my life… and even brought me to tears with how it all came together. I cannot even begin to say enough good things about the experience with her… and not for one second to I hesitate in admitting I was thankful to have hired a wedding planner.

Now, readers, you’re saying, BUT WHEN CAN WE SEE IT? I will have your coverage very soon and probably won’t be able to stop sharing it. So, sit tight, check out the sneak peeks on Facebook and Twitter and get ready to covet the StudioWed wedding of year (so modest)!!

P.S. WE WENT TO ANTIGUA!!!
