Katie & Matt: To Infinity& Beyond

Katie & Matt produced a wedding that told a story of who they are and who they hoped to grow to be together. Matt, the movie producer, and Katie the astronomer, brought their passions into everything from the "Transformers" cake to the stargazing telescope outside. The wedding party came in to the lovely "Forest Gump" theme song and recessed to the "ET soundtrack" all played by pianist Kelly Burke. One of Matt's wishes was for a DeLorean get-a-way car. This "Back to the Future" deLorean  was a hit and not only a wish granter for the groom, but the delorian had a place to donate money in which they donated to the Michael J Fox foundation.

A few of David Tutera's thoughts for 2012:

-Find ways to make a statement that embraces the bride and groom. This isn't about spending a lot of money, but about creating an experience.

-Food: Tell a story about why you choose the food.

-Forecasted hot color: Red

-Entertainment: Interactive Entertainment that captures guests attention

-Favors: No more "tacky favors"-simply say thank you with a card

Alisha & Pete's Chippewa Square & Riverboat Wedding

 Alisha & Pete recently shared their one year anniversary & Alisha's birthday! I can hardly believe it's been a year already. These sweet NC State fans put lots of twists on their day and made it a reflection of who they were and the fun they enjoyed together.  As guests arrived to Chippewa Square for the ceremony, they were given roses from two separate arrangements. In place of the traditional unity candle, all guests were invited to take their roses and place them in one arrangement along with Alisha & Pete's to signify the two families coming together and becoming one. After the recessional everyone joined together again for a round of "Happy Birthday" as Alisha blew out sparklers. (something about eating cake and punch under large Savannah oaks, feels magical). As  guests headed to the Savannah River Boat, the newly weds enjoyed photos around town, even taking time to sample some pralines at River Street Sweets. It was a beautiful night on the Riverboat and guests enjoyed an intimate reception and dancing. At the end of the night, Alisha and Pete exited under floating bubbles and lived happily ever after!

Diane & Jeff's Whimiscally Wonderful Invitation Suite

While planning Diane's wedding she asked us to put together an invite that was whimsical, played on the words of "Going to the Chapel," and included Savannah themed extras i.e. a "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" DVD.  Designer, Beth Dryden was able to take those ideas and come up with this suite that Diane absolutely loved. Invitations were sewn together with a pull tab that allowed the handmade papers to be separated to view different layers i.e. the itinerary. The hand made paper had a backing that felt like honeycomb. Menus and gift tags were designed in the same style. The invitations were placed in vintage cigar boxes with the DVDs and mailed in a custom packaging to delighted guests.

Kellye & Bram's Monterery Square & Ships of the Sea Wedding

 

"Kelley and Bram’s wedding involved so many wonderful details.  From cornhole on the side of the garden, to lemonade in mason jars, this wedding felt like an elegant and intimate back yard wedding. The ceremony décor featured refurbished church pews for the parents of the bride and groom to enjoy along with blue and white programs that matched the handmade table runners at the reception.  The unique details didn’t stop there with café lights strung from the tent, a boat as the bar, chalk board signs, and canned honey for their guest favors.  Kelley & Bram enjoyed a live band as they danced the night away with their friends and family, then ended the evening with and exit dawning their favorite Tennessee Vols pom-poms and pendants.  It was truly a wedding made for them!"  Victoria, First City Events
