Brooke Fleming and Matt Hogue

Aldridge Gardens and Pavilion

"A Swanky Celebration"

Brooke and Matt enjoyed a beautiful, quaint celebration beside the lake at Aldridge Gardens in Hoover, AL. Family and friends gathered to enjoy the festivities-- delicious food by Kathy G & Co. and entertainment by Feel the Beat. All the guests had a great time dancing and socializing. Brooke's brother was quite the star on the dance floor! I loved working with Brooke and her mom while planning- we had some fun times!

Laura Green and Marcus Matyas

Seagrove Beach, FL

"A Swanky Celebration"

Laura and Marcus's beach side wedding was absolutely perfect. Just what the couple wanted to begin their wedding celebrations. Small and simple- Dad "married" them, and just immediate family was in attendance. Because Laura and her family are from Gadsden and Marcus's family is from Buffalo, NY, they all decided to make a vacation out of the celebrations and stay for a week! The wedding took place on Wednesday afternoon on the beach, then afterwards they enjoyed a reception dinner at Bud & Alleys. Sadly, I wasn't able to join them because I had to head back to Birmingham to get ready for the next wedding on Friday and Saturday in Huntsville (see below)....

Then on Sunday, 10/10/10, I met the Bride and Groom and families at the Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge, for their "at home" reception. I decorated the tables to coordinate with the "beach-themed" wedding...the same lanterns used at the ceremony and I filled the hurricanes with sand and seashells right off the beach! It was a wonderful afternoon visiting with friends. They enjoyed lunch by the lodge and even an ice cream sundae bar!

Jessica Pugh and Zach Bingham

Jackson Way Baptist Church, Ceremony

Monte Sano State Park Lodge, Reception

Jessica and Zach's wedding weekend was nothing but Fabulous! Southern tradition at its best. A celebration with their closest friends and family--turned out to be a big PARTY! With 12 bridesmaids and groomsmen each, the wedding party was a "party" in itself! I had fun getting to know everyone a little better- Geri Martha, a bridesmaid, is one of my best friends- so I had met several of these girls before!

Everything was beautiful, thanks to InBloom Floral Design! They helped turn a rustic lodge into a gorgeous, elegant reception. AND THE FOOD! So delicious-- Thank you Bubba's Catering. Lots of special, personal touches were made to make everyone feel at home and loved by the Pugh's.
