We're getting press!

Here are a few recent raves on weddings we've done. We are so thankful for the beautiful, easy-going brides we have gotten to work with as well as our amazing vendors. A special thank you to Evin Photography and Jenny Lindsey Photography. These women are such pro's and are a total delight!

A Low Country Wedding featured Jenny & Jon Mason's wedding at Cheekwood, so check that out here.

Cheekwood Bliss

Jenny and Jon absolutely glow when they are around each other. The pair is giddy in love - it's so contagious to friends, family and bystanders. We had so much fun working with them and their endearing families. 

Cheekwood was the perfect venue for their wedding and reception. The Perennial Garden was in full bloom and Massey Hall had just the right architectural touches for Jenny's taste. There was even an epic moment at 3:00 p.m. when the rainy skies cleared and the sun came out for the rest of the day! Praise the Lord!

Thanks to Evin Photography for allowing us to use these! You are fabulous, Evin! We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

 
 Cheers to the happy couple!!! We miss working with you already!

Perfection at the Parthenon

The Parthenon is such an amazing venue, so we were thrilled when Samantha and Keith Pyle asked us to do their wedding there. What an incredible couple! We had an absolute blast working with the easy-going pair and were inspired by both their great taste and their love for one another.

The ceremony was held at the quaint King's Chapel in Arrington. What a gem!

Thanks to Donald Yeager Photography, we have beautiful images to share with you from their big day!

Marvelous Mimosas

It's Cinco de Mayo, so we should probably be blogging about margaritas and sangria instead of mimosas, but we couldn't resist when we saw this amazing idea! We are definitely going to copy it for a baby shower we have coming up. How adorable!

Flower Girl Attire

How adorable is this handmade wedding tutu by Dear Lillie!?! What an adorable way to spice up your flower girl's attire. We can already picture her twirling around in it!

And this one would be darling for her to wear to a birthday party or for pictures. Don't forget that Firefly does more than weddings and can take care of all the details for kids' parties and any other event.
