Wedding Inspiration Archive

It’s getting to be that time of year again, for StudioWed’s quarterly Champagne Soiree. Our Champagne Soirees serve as an Open House for our engaged couples and industry friends to come and view the Studio and meet our exclusive vendors. Come and enjoy champagne and small bites, and get wedding inspiration, decor ideas, and see tablescape designs.

This Champagne Soiree also serves as the Summer Issue Release Party for Weddings Unveiled Magazine! StudioWed Atlanta is so pleased to host this event, and is so excited that the Weddings Unveiled Editor will be in attendance!

With each Champagne Soiree our front window display is given a fresh new look! This time, it is Jan McBee of La Fete Weddings and Events who is in charge of the window.  We can’t wait to see what she does with the space!  Here are some pictures from previous Champagne Soirees Window Displays.

Need wedding decor inspiration, or want to see more tablescapes? Here are some more photos of past table designs produced by our talented group of vendors!

StudioWed’s Champagne Soirees are always a great time. Below is the official invitation for the event. Ready to register? Head over to our Eventbrite page to pick up complimentary tickets! We hope to see you on June 26!

Photo Booths have recently taken the event industry by storm. What makes photo booths so popular? Maybe because you can create a custom logo with the name and date of your event, so your guests have something tangible to leave with. Or maybe it is because they have lots of fun backdrops and props to use to entertain your guests. Whatever the reason, you are likely to see a photo booth at many corporate events, social gatherings, and of course at weddings! ShutterBooth Atlanta has the photo booth experience down to a science. Their products, backdrops, props and hosts have enabled them to become a leader in the photo booth industry in Atlanta! Read our interview below with ShutterBooth Atlanta owner, Berlin.

What kind of props do you offer?

Wedding bouquets are an essential part of your wedding, and every bride knows what she wants on her special day. There are various styles, flowers, and arrangements that go in to the bouquet. Each one epitomizes the look of the wedding and can be personalized to fit the bride’s style.

Spring/Summer

A great way to make your bouquet look beautiful and still blend naturally is to go with colors of the season your wedding is in. If you have a spring wedding, use pastels or lights colors that would be seen during the spring. Go for hardy flowers that wont wilt (sunflowers, dahlias, lilies or hydrangeas) if marrying in summer or in a humid climate.

Fall/Winter

 Even though colder seasons might not bring spring blooms, deep reds and oranges reflect the beautiful changing of the leaves and colors of the season. Whites, grays, and reds are also gorgeous colors to capture the essence of winter.

Or, consider mixing things up and choose a bouquet that is full of succulents and lamb’s ear.

Charms

Charms are a beautiful way of personalizing your bouquet so that it is more meaningful to you. A beautiful way to do this is to attach pictures of loved ones; maybe some that have passed or could not be there for your special day. Some brides also choose to attach a pin from their sorority or another important organization to their bouquet.

Nonfloral

Another unique way to create your bouquet is to use something other than flowers. These types of bouquets can be an outlet of creativity for the bride. You can personalize them however you like – color, size, fabric, pattern – and they will last forever.

We loved researching the various types of bouquets that you can use for your wedding! Whether you choose big springy blooms, muted and soft winter succulents or vintage brooches, remember to pick one that is true to your personal style and wedding style!

Q&A with Michelle Gainey:

Where are you based?
Atlanta, GA

Where did the name, “Lemiga”, originate?
I had the vision of one day expanding my business to a team and I did not want my business name to revolve solely around my name. Therefore, I took the first two letters of my name – Lelene Michelle Gainey and came up with LEMIGA.

What type of events do you specialize in? Do you do corporate? Social gatherings? Mainly weddings?
Mainly weddings, but we also do social gatherings like birthday and anniversary parties.

What is Lemiga Events style?
