Tying the (Celtic) Knot

With the last names of O’Brien and O’Shields, it’s no wonder that Susan’s and Joe’s Inman Park wedding included nods to their Irish heritage. They opted for décor, flowers and clover-green clad bridesmaids to compliment their Irish theme.

The pair wed at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Decatur and then hopped aboard a trolley headed to The Trolley Barn in Inman Park for the reception.

Bloomin’ Bouquets created the bridal party flowers and reception venue arrangements with bells of Ireland, clover, white and purple hydrangeas, white and light purple calla lilies, amnesia roses, white stock and stargazer lilies. 

After their fun-filled Irish fete, the newlyweds departed for their honeymoon to where else, but Ireland.

Winter Wonderland

The long-standing superstition of rain being good luck on the wedding day was excellent news for couple Renee and Kris. It stormed the entire morning and seemed as though it would never let up. Amazingly the moment the church doors opened for Renee to walk down the aisle, the sun began streaming through the arched windows. It was one of those perfect moments and made for a very special ceremony.

The wedding took place at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church. Renee and Kris made the day very personal by reciting their own heartfelt vows and making thoughtful speeches for their family and friends.

The reception followed inside the church and Bloomin’ Bouquets created an incredible winter wonderland theme using white roses, white hydrangeas, silver brunia, crystals, glittery pine cones, mercury glass votives and an abundance of candles. To “winterize” the bouquets, Bloomin’ Bouquets inserted “ice sticks” in them and bundled them in a sparkly silver wrap.

After all of the celebrating, Renee and Kris received a bubble sendoff from their guests. They climbed into a vintage Roll Royce and didn’t stop until they got to Texas!
