Mrs. new Coody: A Winter Floral Wonderland Wedding

When I created my blog, I didn't plan on covering my day-to-day work happenings in my posts. However, when you work at James Farmer Inc., you get to do some cool things that are worth sharing every now and then! Last week, we worked on a wedding that was absolutely breathtaking, and I've been dying to share the details!

The bride and groom are dear friends of James and asked the JFI team to be a part of their special day back in April. We've been planning away for months and were thrilled for the big day to be here (probably just as much as the bride). Since I have such a love for all things "wedding," I love it when our work week consists of wedding flowers and installation! Last week, we headed to Atlanta on Wednesday evening in order to start on the wedding flowers first thing on Thursday morning. Most people don't realize how much goes into wedding flowers...pickup, conditioning, arranging, tying, transporting, designing...the list goes on.

The ceremony and reception were held at the Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta. The ceremony took place in the courtyard under a clear tent with beautiful chandeliers and an ivory runner down the length of the aisle. The setting alone was beautiful but the altar that the JFI team put together finished the enchanting look.

Here's the only picture I got at night with the candles lit. It was so pretty!

At the wishes of the bride, we turned the PDC ballroom into an elegant winter wonderland. We brought in white planter boxes and lit trees to create a romantic avenue through the ballroom.

For the arrangements, we used a mix of white blooms, seeded eucalyptus, and orchids. On the buffets and bar, we used large arrangements with just orchids and greenery atop white temple jars for simple yet beautiful statements.
