Michelle Lovell & Cody Helmer's wedding

Michelle & Cody were married on Sunday at Eden Gardens out in Walton County. The park is so beautiful and an amazing backdrop for a super Southern wedding. Fortunately for us on Sunday the rain stopped just an hour before our ceremony began under the "wedding tree". We used old wooden benches for seating, mason jar filled wildflowers for markers & had a bluegrass trio for music.
The guests were greeted to the reception with sweet tea with fresh mint & oranges, fresh berry lemonade & cucumber water filled pitchers. Dinner started with a fruit and cheese bar complete with fresh breads, dipping oils, artichoke tapenade and assorted cheese and crackers.

We set up a lounge area in the middle of the tent with vintage oil lamps, photos of the happy couple and super cute pillows made by the brides mother to match our colors of apple green and chocolate. Passed Hors D'oeuvres consisted of collard green wontons, hushpuppy catfish nuggets in parchment cones & baby burgers with fried green tomatoes. The Waco Ramblers, a wildly popular local bluegrass band kept the crowd entertained. They are so great. Check them out www.wacoramblers.com for more information.



The centerpieces were oversized antique mason jars filled with blue, white and green wildflowers. White linens covered the tables with an apple green runner. Dinner consisted of pecan crusted chicken, ham & biscuits and a bbq sundae station with all the trimmings. The entire event was a Southern affair to remember. As the bride & groom made their exit they were definitely doing a "happy" dance all the way to their car.................another satisfied bride!
