Designing Love

Hi all! This is the long awaited recap of the Katz wedding that we had back on March 15th at her parents beautiful home in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee. Their house was an old plantation style home set on spacious land surrounded by hundreds of trees, and on this day surrounded by love of their friends and family. We had a wonderful time bringing the vision of Elizabeth to fruition on a rainy spring day. The plan was an outdoors ceremony on the front lawn of home and a cocktail hour and reception in the tent. However, mother nature had a different plan. But, we're planners and our job is to be flexible. So... after change of decision several times, we decided on the ceremony in the cocktail tent and then on to the reception. In the midst of it all, the rain didn't damper the love that Elizabeth and Matt have for each other as it was celebrated on that day. Here are some wonderful pictures by Josh Reeder that captured who Matt and Elizabeth are.

This first pic is to show you how muddy it was that day! This was the aisle runner after the ceremony was over and 125 people trampled over it getting to the reception. Good thing we laid it down at the last moment for the bride to walk on!

These adorable shoes show the unique and creative side of the bride. It's these touches that really create an event all your own. Her gorgeous dress was covered in taffeta rosettes from the famed Kleinfield's bridal in New York.

These polaroid's were taken throughout the night by the bride's sister, capturing all of the guests that were present and some candids as well.

The adorable favors that were created by the bride and groom were displayed for guests at the end of the night to take home with them. They created buttons with the motif that was used throughout the whole wedding, a tattoo that both the bride and groom have, chocolate bars with personalized wrappers, and records of various artists that the bride and groom created the covers for.

This adorable cake featured Elizabeth's woodland theme with small plastic deer and mushrooms created in fondant by the always talented Bake Shoppe's lead cake designer, Amy. The cake plateau was created by the bride's mother from a tree stump that had fallen during the tornado's back serveral months ago. She covered it in a clear coat and it was PERFECT!!!

The Respectables provided the fun entertainment for the evening as well as the incredible lighting that was featuring branches throughout the tent provided by Bradfield Event Lighting.
