TOAST Winter Weddings

We were thrilled to plan two fabulous winter weddings this season. There are so many lovely cozy things about a winter wedding, and both of these events were no exception.

First we headed to Stone Mountain for Alicia and Peyton where with transformed a picnic pavilion into the most gorgeous ceremony space. Below is a teaser photo of the fireside ceremony from Christine Gallagher. Jackson | Durham , Quest Drape and Irvin Antley partnered with us to create the ceremony space!

It was a stunning way to end our year!

Up next was our first wedding of the year with Kelsey and Bryce at Country Club of the South. Andy Beach and Associates designed a gorgeous scape of ivory and silver to create an elegant wintry feel. 

Modern/Pop Art Nursery

While this post is not wedding related, I am so impressed with the creativity of this nursery décor, I had to share. Granted, I am partial as its for my soon-to-be-born niece or nephew. My brother and sister-in-law have kept the nursery progress under wraps until each detail was complete. We were privy to the theme of modern art and a few color hints, but that was it until the big reveal.

I am pleased to share the completed nursery with you, a complete work of art! My sister-in-law, Susan is a talented artist that crafted many of these items as Mike worked hard at assembling, lugging and painting!

The collage on the wall features replicas of the greats, Jasper Johns, Jackson Pollock, Matisse, Warhol and  Lichtenstein.

My dad built a toy box that Susan painted to resemble Warhol’s Brillo Box.

Now all we need is the baby….premiering  March 17^th! 

TOAST Welcomes Amanda to the Team!

We are thrilled to start 2012 with a new TOAST Associate--Amanda! Amanda has already proved she is going to be a huge asset to TOAST assisting with a variety of tasks to further create a signature experience for our special clients!

A little bit about her...

Amanda graduated from Wesleyan School in Norcross, Georgia. After graduation, she pursued her dream of living the big city life by attending DePaul University located in the heart of Chicago, Illinois. During college, she discovered her love of event planning through being elected as the Social Chair for her sorority. She then went on to hold several internships in the wedding industry in Chicago. After graduation, she moved back down south to enjoy the warm weather and Chick Fil A and begin a career in Southern Weddings! She is so excited to begin her wedding industry career with TOAST and can't wait to see what 2012 has in store!
