Perfectly Planned Carolina Beach Wedding: Plan B

Eddye — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:36:52 +0000

September 2008 … “Hurricane Hannah is headed directly to the Carolina’s … Hannah is now the fourth hurricane-strength storm of the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season … Hannah popped up just as Hurricane Gustav weakened … Tropical Storm Hannah seemed to be losing steam late yesterday, but is now being projected to gain hurricane strength again before reaching the Carolina’s … on Friday, September 5th.”

what to do … what to do…

Greta & Chaz were all set for their fabulous beach wedding in Wilmington when Hannah derailed their well-thought-out plans!

They had 48 hours to re-design their wedding in a tiny industrial art gallery in Charlotte, NC.

Theirs is a heart-warming celebration that proves that love truly does conquer all!

With Hurricane Hannah looming in the background, Greta and her sisters re-designed the entire affair.

The Sweet Table was a big hit!

family … love … friends …

… awesome food … lots of laughter … great blue-grass music …

… home-made wine …

… it just doesn’t get any better than this …

Seriously, who cares about the weather!

Our thanks to Drea and Casey Cunningham Photography for sharing Chaz & Greta’s heart-warming wedding story with us.

Pink Week’s Photographers, VIII

Abby Larson — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:00:03 +0000

Our next pink inspired photographs are by the amazingly talented Whitney and Jesse of Our Labor of Love in Atlanta. The cupcake and the candy shots actually made me go out and buy doughnuts this morning!

I love the vivid pink from this color palette…strawberry pink paired with bubblegum pink paired with a more raspberry hue. It’s a shock of color but one that just works! Pink is a perfect color to use on a candy buffet because it’s so vivid. It really makes a statement better than the more muted candy tones that you sometimes see (other than white, of course, which is as pretty as it gets).

Dessert Tables by Amy Atlas

Abby Larson — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 13:00:56 +0000

Before we begin today’s post, I wanted to take a minute to send out a prayer to all of those in Houston who were hit by Hurricane Ike over the weekend. I grew up in Clear Lake, Texas where many of the reporters were stationed. Clear Lake and the surrounding areas were hugely hit and although my family (parents, 2 sisters and their husbands, my niece, my nephew and my grandmother) all evacuated safely and our homes all survived, I know that there are many who weren’t quite so lucky. My heart goes out to anyone that has been touched by the storm.

Now on to happier and lighter things…

Amy Atlas emailed me over the weekend with some drool-worthy images of her oh-so-stylish dessert tables. Amy is an event planner in the New York area who specializes in marrying the yumminess of desserts with the beauty of different celebrations…

I am obsessed with her monochromatic tables and her chic approach to dessert. I honestly was jumping for joy when I took a peak at her site because just “gets it.” Her work is insanely stylish and yet seems completely appropriate for children and adults, alike.

Lucky for us, Amy is stopping by a little later to offer her oh-so-fabulous tips on creating your OWN very chic dessert table. Stay tuned!
