Burgundy, claret, merlot – whatever you want to call it, they’re all the rich colors  of red wines – which are really hot this time of year!

Our new friend, Lynsey up in North Carolina is amazing – she just got married herself, and is busy planning a bridal shower and a bachelorette party for her brother’s fiance, Taylor.  Yes!  She’s using our favors for both, and she’s generously agreed to share the details with all of you later so stay tuned!

Taylor’s wedding colors are wine and ivory – which is what set my mind on this lovely shade.  Look what I came up with!

Yummy colors!

Oh!  And here’s a picture of the new Mrs. Lynsey at her very recent wedding – isn’t she a doll?

I’m looking forward to all the details of Lynsey’s plans for Miss Taylor!

That was my grandmother’s favorite saying – “The devil is in the details” and, quite frankly if you’re looking at Angel Sanchez’s wedding designs, then the devil is quite a sassy guy!  What an amazing eye for extravagant detail! Angel Sanchez is completely unique!

To treasure one of these wedding gowns will cost you a pretty penny, but you have to admire what these beautiful creations do for a girl!

We like to keep an eye out for the little details in our favors, and to tell the truth, we always throw in a little dash of sass, too.  We know you want your guests to feel treasured and special, in your own unique kind of way!

Brooke’s pictures are in – yes!  I’m so excited to finally share the joy of our other June bride with you!

Brooke and Trent chose a beautiful destination venue in the North Georgia mountains at Waters Mill.  Waters Mill is quite the unique event facility, created around the dreams and memories of an ancestral family farm in the rolling green hills (under a clear blue sky – truly – this place is ethereal!).

An excellent choice for an outdoor June wedding – and I must say, the venue was exquisitely enhanced by the bride’s personal attention to the details!

Hot pink and green were the theme colors du jour  - with exciting pops of bright orange and oh was that ever just exquisitely lovely in the rolling green countryside?

After the wedding, guests adjourned to tables under ancient oak trees with delightful, cold beverages and some of the best lobster-stuffed mushrooms I’ve ever had in my life!  (shh…I embarrassed myself I had so many)   And once the wedding party joined us in the dining room, the celebration began.

It was so much fun – there were family and kids and music and dancing and delicious food, perfect entertainment and did you catch the favors on the tables?  Look familiar?  LOL!

Please join us all in wishing the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Trent Plott, a bright and wonderful future together!  We love you guys!

with two weddings in our Kate Aspen family in June.  Both Brooke and Skip got married within 3 weeks of each other, and oh how we all enjoyed the preparations leading up to both beautiful ceremonies.  Brooke’s pictures aren’t in yet but when they are, I’ll share her simply gorgeous hot pink and clover green-themed destination wedding photos from the North Georgia Mountains.  Skip’s photographer, Pam of Paris Mountain Photography here in Atlanta, is on the ball and oh my!  Just look!

Skip’s meticulously planned wedding venue was a local Country Club in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The guests were seated on the beautiful, rolling greens, decorated with white and hot pink roses - a full path of rose petals carpeted the lawn and the aroma was simply heavenly! Precious little kisses of hot pink and tiffany blue enhanced the scene.

 The bridesmaids were resplendent in aqua, with hot pink roses.

600 roses – yep 600 roses – everywhere!  So perfect!

 After the ceremony we all retired to the clubhouse for drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and there we found our place card holders!  I love watching our favors at work!  Aren’t these just perfect?

We each picked up our golf ball place card and tealight holder and moved into the dining room to our assigned tables where we found …..

Tah Dah!  Another one of our favors doing it’s job - perfect color-coordination!  I’m so proud!

The dining room was beautifully appointed with tiffany blue wrapped chairs and white linen tableclothes, highlighted with hot pink roses surrounding gigantic hurricane globes with candles.  And the cake – oh the cake!  Please drool with me as you look at the pics …

Four delicious tiers – strawberry cake with strawberry filling, vanilla with lemon filling, and chocolate with cookies and creme filling (and if you’re counting, there were two strawberry layers). 

A lovely buffet was followed by toasts and good wishes and dancing late into the evening!  Congratulations to our newlyweds –  Mr. and Mrs. David Warchol – and the very best of wishes for your very bright future together!
