YES! I have been going through Ali Harper Photography‘s images from this sweet Georgia peach of an Atlanta wedding and just proclaiming my undying love for all the world to hear! It is just about as close to reception perfection as I think you can get. It’s modern and playful, sophisticated and elegant and chic-to-the-max! I can’t get over how gorgeous the bridesmaids look in their coral Bari Jay gowns. Give yourself a treat this morning and check out the full gallery!

From Ali Harper Photography… Yes, you can meet the man of your dreams just by getting up the nerve to talk to that cute guy in seat 24A! Mandy and Todd literally struck up a conversation on a plane thousands of feet up in the air and haven’t stopped talking since. In fact, the groom’s cake was a cute nod to their serendipitous beginnings! Their color palette was just as bold – and with it being 94 degrees out, Mandy chose the perfect shades of butter yellow and bright coral for the day; her bridesmaids seriously looked like Greek goddesses. These colors echoed within all the reception details – the modern, sophisticated and graphic feel of the fabrics perfectly complimented the glamour of Greystone and the Atlanta skyline as the wedding’s backdrop. Speaking of Atlanta, Mandy and a handful of her bridesmaids were all UGA Cheerleaders together and it made perfect sense for the Georgia mascot, “Hairy Dawg” to make an appearance – and he ended up dancing the whole night away with all of the guests!

Wedding Dress: designer - Tara Keely; style number: tk2052; color: Ivory
Thank you! :)
I just got married in June and wore the exact same dress and my bridesmaids were in coral!! I loved looking through these photos, everything is so pretty. Congratulations!!
Being the father of the bride and reading these comments and seeing the photos on "Style Me Pretty" a Blog I never new existed, brings much satisfaction knowing every penny was well worth it. Thank you, Ali Harper Photography for recording such a beautiful time in my daughters life. Love you Mandy!
This being one of my best friends weddings, makes me so proud! Love you Mandy, it was absolutely perfect. It has given me so much inspiration for my own!

Beautiful images!!
How sweet!!!
The pillows were handmade and sewed by my lovely wedding coordinator, Dawn Gahan. We found the fabrics together and then she hand painted the B monogrammed clover. The monogram was used throughout the wedding on things like welcome bags signage, programs, and wedding favors to pull it all together.

Marie,
The pillow slipcovers were custom made. Mandy's signature yellow fabric was used as was the floral fabric. Two pillows were made using a coral cotton and on those I painted the monogram that was specially designed for the bride and groom. I used acrylic paint in a rich ivory color, mixed with a fabric medium, Such special keepsakes! Who doesn't love or can't use pillows!?
Looks like our comments crossed in cyber air! Thanks for the shout out, Mandy. I'm so excited for you and Todd that your wedding has been featured. What a great way to share such a special day with the world! Your vision, as you can see by the comments, is appreciated and admired by many.
Where are these bridesmaid dresses from?? They are fantastic!!
Hi. Can you please tell me what exact dress colour this is? I was told it's tulip but when I checked the bari jay website the colour looks much lighter than what is here. I love the colour of these dresses!!!!!!!
Yes, the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses is "Tulip." We tried on Bari Jay's actual "Coral" color, but it was more of an orange/red almost terracotta hue and we were looking for a pinkish coral in nature. The best part about the bridesmaids dresses was that they are very affordable – under $200 included alterations – and the empire waist was figure flattering and comfortable for the girls.
Mandy, your wedding was lovely! Looked in the footnotes for your venue though and didn't see it listed? Where was your wedding?
Thank you, Morgan. The ceremony was held at Peachtree Christian Church and the reception followed at Greystone in Piedmont Park -- both in Midtown Atlanta.

Absolutely stunning!! I love your dress Mandy, this was one of the first dresses I tried on and haven't been able to get anything as nice since so going back for it at the end of the month!! When I tried it on there was just a ribbon belt with it, is your crystal sash Tara keely also? xx
Hi Fifi,
I bought the sash separately from my dress, but bought it from the same bridal salon. I also had the sash sewn into the dress so it would stay centered and I would not have to mess with it all day. It was a little more expensive, but I loved how it added a custom feel to my dress. Glad you liked the dress too!! Have fun planning :)
Mandy
I actually purchased this wedding dress today and then stumbled across your wedding. It's such a beautiful dress, even more beautiful in person. AND, i may copy your shoes!!!!! Be on the look out. I'll share pictures with you when it's all said and done.
What brand was the sash you purchased? I have the same dress, and have been looking for the perfect sash or brooch to add some sparkle.
Who are the tuxedos by? They look great!
Beautiful wedding!! Is your dress white or ivory?
Mandy--
GORGEOUS wedding! I'm not sure if you're interested but thought I'd at least see if you were open to selling your dress? I'm absolutely in love with that design and figured I'd check and see if it was something you'd entertain? If so, let me know! You can contact me at: jaimeebyron@yahoo.com
Not even sure if we're the same measurements, but thought I'd check and see if this was something you'd be open to discussing! Thanks Mandy!
Jaimee
Hi Mandy! Can you please tell me where you purchased your wedding jewelry and where you got the pearls on your sash? Gorgeous wedding! I have been looking everywhere for jewelry like yours and can't find anything like it! Thank you so much!
