The site for the wedding of Rachel & Rusty was Lake Lanier Islands Resort, Pineisle Pointe. The setting is beautiful, with vast views of the lakes and other nearby islands. Although the weather prohibited us from having the ceremony outside as planned, the location was changed to Pineisle Center where Rich Larsen of Creative Events by Sunflowers, created an intimate setting with a lovely Chuppah as the focal point. The style of the decor was Rustic Elegance and Rich created beautiful decor that fit the theme perfectly. The colorful florals mixed with natural elements like birch wood vases and cut tree disks gave the rustic look, but in such an elegant style.
In addition to being Rustic Elegance, another theme was music. The couple selected some of their favorite songs and instead of numbering the tables, they named them with the titles from their list of favs. On each table, there was an informational document that gave the name of the song, the artist and the lyrics. At each place setting, a slip of paper containing lyrics from a portion of the song was placed. Throughout the reception, many of these songs were played by the band.
Since the Groom and his family are from New Orleans, it was fitting that the Groom’s cakes were traditional da Bouche. They were actually flown here from New Orleans so that the family was assured they were the “real thing”.
This wedding was definitely a hit if you have a sweet-tooth, because not only was their wedding cake and da Bouche cake, there was also a Gelato Cart that offered a variety of yummy flavors for guests to enjoy!!
As a favor, guests were treated to heart-shaped cookies and cartons of milk as they left the reception – which was a huge hit.
Other vendors we were pleased to partner with were Glen of Pixel This! photography, Bulletproof Band, Rabbi Lebow, Dreamy Gelato and The Baking Grounds.
We wish Rachel & Rusty a lifetime of Happiness!!!!
