Erika and Anthony's wedding ceremony and reception took place at Flint Hill in Norcross, Georgia this past September. Erika contacted Deborah Nadel a few weeks before her wedding.

They've become adept at merging those little pieces of their own interests and personality with those of their groom's, resulting in very unique and personalized celebrations.
We haven't talked about color palettes (a.k.a. wedding colors) in a long long time! But when this wedding fell into our lap, oh boy! The colors simply blew us away! ummmm.... a virtual explosion! Bold and sassy, while remaining romantic and fresh. From Modern Bouquet ~ a profusion of loveliness!
