Up, Up and Away

by Chelsea Leave a Comment

Love is indeed the greatest power: it’s able to take people up to the skies. And literally, Katie and Byron took it up to the skies after saying their vows on the grounds of Little River Farms in Alpharetta, GA. Their fun day was a bohemian chic hot air balloon themed affair and they actually had a hot air balloon on site for a quick ride and photo op. Such a lovely way to fly away with the love of your life, ayt?  Katie and Byron, congratulations on your wedding! And I wish with all my heart that you would have only ups in your life!

How They Met

From the Bride: “Byron came into AT&T where I worked. I saw him walking across the parking lot and claimed him as my customer to all of my coworkers. I enjoyed helping him and walked him out the door as was our company policy. There in the parking lot were numerous hot air balloons and a double rainbow. My boss at the time basically told us we would get married one day and she would take all the credit (Cheryl Wood, Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery). We had dinner a few times and everything was so easy for us. We became best friends and falling in love didn’t come much longer after that. Needless to say, years of dating and the rest is history. Byron and I are such a good team and together there isn’t anything we can’t do.”

All In The Details

Their theme was “Fly Away with Me” and started with the beautiful invitation suite that was designed specifically for them and printed by Southern Sophistication Designs.

Shannon’s Calligraphy provided the calligraphy on the envelopes and attached to each envelope were vintage stamps, many featuring hot air balloons.

Katie and Byron asked in their RSVP card for each guest to send in a swatch of their favorite fabric that would then be turned into a quilt for them to display at their wedding and then use at their home.

Their menus and coffee sleeves were all stamps with the same balloon stamp as the inside of their invitation envelope.
