Since it’s Decatur Bridal Expo<\/a> week I thought we better squeeze a wedding feature onto the blog. My newsfeed has been filled with proposals and engagements over the last weeks and that’s SO exciting. So many of your friends\/family (maybe even YOU) are headed into this brand new year with BIG things on the horizon… fun things like cake tastings and dress shopping and stressful things like selecting a date, getting invitations out and choosing every vendor from florists to photographers, that will help make the vision of your big day a reality.<\/p>\n

Well this weekend\u00a0(January 6th & 7th) you will have a ton of local vendors to meet and greet at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel<\/a>. I hope you stop by our booth (we’ll have a number of fun gifts and giveaways) and say hello!<\/p>\n

But before we get to planning next year’s weddings it’s time to check out Amanda & Tom’s big day. We lucked out for their mid-November wedding and not only had beautiful, mild weather but also still had gorgeous color on the leaves outside the church! It was PERFECT.<\/p>\n

We started their day at their home which let us add some personal touches including heading out to Tom’s garage to include his other loves (the wheels and engine kind!).<\/p>\n

See what I mean about the color. Can you believe we had all this beauty left?!?! And all right outside their church.<\/p>\n

A special request of Amanda’s was to create a portrait with everyone of their guests. We don’t do this at every wedding but it’s always fun when we do.<\/p>\n

And another fun perk with a late November wedding date is beautiful Christmas lights downtown. We had fun playing around in the park to create these (yes I even made them dance a bit, hahaha).<\/p>\n

These two had such a fun party and the details at Infusion Bar and Banquet Center<\/a> made the reception extra entertaining.<\/p>\n
