Aimee and Andrew met through mutual friends at UGA. They were friends for nearly 2 years before they started dating. They chose Ashford Manor as their wedding venue because they found it to be a beautiful, magical place. They also attended Concerts on the Lawn there for several summers while dating. Aimee loves hydrangeas because they remind her of her grandmother. Therefore, their colors were blue and white with a hint of lime green. Aimee's grandmother did the flower arrangements and she made awesome kissing balls that hung in the trees.

Joanna and Charles were married in December. They chose to get married at UGA because it's where they met! They met during freshman orientation at the University of Georgia, but did not start dating until nine years later when we reconnected in Atlanta.

An Athens girl, born and bred, fell in love with a Mississippi boy…Kathleen and Britt both knew the big day would be in Athens! The ceremony took place at the Bride's church, Catholic Center at UGA, followed by a seated dinner in the Empire Room at the Classic Center. The crisp January day was colored with a palette of red, black, white, and silver…including a trip to the Arch…all an Athens girl could ever want. The reception was full of good food and cheer, laughter and tears, dancing and the bride's favorite cake - carrot cake!! What a truly memorable way to ring in 2010!

Here are some photographs from their big day. Thanks to the following AWP members who worked with them.

Holly and Mark found the Botanical Gardens Day Chapel when running on the trails one day. Little did they know it was one of the most popular places to get married in Athens. They wanted the theme of their wedding to stay very nature-like with plenty of light blues and greens, with a touch of ivory and crystal. They made sure to incorporate plenty of butterflies, by having a butterfly release and butterfly accent pieces. They nature theme continued through the flowers by adding moss, curly willows, and twigs.

Wonderful memories of autumn in Athens provided the inspiration for Whitney and Dustin’s wedding on October 24, 2009. Dustin’s proposal on the steps of the University of Georgia Chapel simply sealed the deal for the ceremony site. The color palate featured the bride’s favorite color purple in combination with opulent shades of orange. From the intimate, spiritual ceremony to the fantastically fun reception, the evening was everything they had hoped for. The venue, flowers, food, and entertainment were wonderful! Thanks to the AWP members who contributed to their amazing day!

Cindy and Reid were married last year at the Foundry Park Inn & Spa. It was an inspiring New Year's Eve wedding that led us into 2008 with the tremendous help of some AWP members.

With their unique style, Mack and Jenna desired a wedding that would showcase their dramatic take on life. The color palate of black, red, and warm candlelight filled the plantation to set the mood of passion and romance. While the band played in the background, the guests were serenaded with jazz tunes which livened up the evening and the dance floor. Vinyl records replaced the traditional guest book and Vogue magazine was the inspiration for the cake, tying in the couple's love of fashion and music.
