SIMPLY WED: Brandy + Matthew

This colorful wedding was seriously so much fun to help plan and Brandy is quite possibly one of the sweetest brides. This New York couple wed last October at Whitefield Chapel with their reception following at Roundhouse Railroad Museum.  Jade and Matthew captured all the details of their wedding from their romantic photos out at Whitefield Chapel where their ceremony was officiated by Rev. Stephen Williams to their silly playful shots at the Roundhouse to the colorful bold florals and other fun details and decor rentals from Amazing Event Rentals, Ultrapom and lighting by Eddie Kimmer. Entertainment was provided by All About You and the food was done by Chef Nick Mueller and desserts by Rum Runners Bakery. Brandy looked beautiful on her wedding day in a pretty lace dress and I am obsessed with her bold lipcolor by JW Salon. Anyway, huge congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for choosing us to be a part of your big day!!

SIMPLY PUBLISHED: {Southern Bridal} Vintage Bethesda Styled Shoot

So excited that our styled shoot photographed by Lone Pine Photography was featured on Southern Bridal last week!! Tori of Ever Thine approached me about helping out with this shoot and it was really fun to be a part of and if I remember correctly it was seriously freezing outside... Anyway, the shoot took place out at Bethesda Academy and was styled by Tori with her vintage rentals. I helped with putting together an escort card display and setting up. A to Zinnias provided flowers and the dress is from J'Adore Bridal & Formal and is a Justin Alexander dress. The lovely ladies over at Dollface by Jules did hair & makeup for the model Emily E. Hammond. Last but not least desserts were provided by Gigi's Cupcakes, Holli's Cakes and Maison de Macarons. Oh yeah.. that just reminded me this was that one shoot where I ate about 20 macarons and 17 cupcakes and had a serious sugar high. Oh wait no... that's every shoot. Ha, anyway, hope you enjoy and head on over to Southern Bridal to see the entire shoot!!!

SIMPLY WED: Danielle + Jon

Finally getting around to sharing Danielle + Jon's wedding from this past spring!! Danielle is friends with Katrina, who was one of Layla Mayville's brides (see her wedding here!) Also, Katrina is now a part of the team over at Design Studio South. These ladies provide event planning, paper goods and interior design and did all of the stationary/paper goods for Danielle + Jon's wedding. For this wedding we were the day-of coordinators and it was a lot of fun being part of their wedding, which had an awesome group of vendors!! Their wedding ceremony took place at Whitefield Chapel at Bethesda Academy and was officiated by Pastor Richard D. Hayes with the reception that followed at Vic's On The River. Oglethorpe Tours transported guests from the ceremony to the reception. Our favorite violinist Chris Dooley provided the ceremony music and the reception was DJed by Rock Jocks. Ramelle's Florist provided all the bouquets and ceremony flowers for their big day. Beyond Beautiful by Heather did hair + makeup for all the lovely ladies. Last but not least and certainly most delicious was the cake from Baker's Pride. Anyway, huge congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for letting us be a part of your big day!!!!

SIMPLY ENGAGED: Jessica + Chris

Get ready to see quite possibly the cutest engagement pictures you did ever see!!!! We recently got the pleasure of helping set up the engagement shoots for Jessica + Chris, who are getting married on December 7th, 2013 at Whitefield Chapel! The photos took place out on their family farm and were sooo cute I can't even handle it! Ever Thine Vintage Rentals provided the farm table, vintage china, and decor for the table where Jessica, Chris and the kids enjoyed apple, pumpkin + pecan pies!! After the family photos, Jessica + Chris huddled up by the fire for some s'mores and lots of kisses. Seriously though... they are way too cute right?!! Thank you Two Chics for capturing all the adorableness and we cannot wait to work with you this Saturday!!! Congratulations to Jessica + Chris!

SIMPLY PUBLISHED: {DIY Weddings Magazine} Vintage Affair Savannah Style

I am so thrilled to share this feature with you guys today! This styled shoot at Whitefield Chapel at Bethesda Academy was featured in DIY Weddings Fall 2013 Issue! This shoot was my first collaboration with Tori of Ever Thine Vintage Rentals. Tori is such an inspiration to me because she's so successful, so creative and so young... so getting to know her has been awesome! She started up a vintage rental company not long ago and it has quickly grown into something amazing with the new opening of Wed Augusta!!! So anyway, when she told me she was coming to Savannah for a styled shoot with Luke of Lone Pine Photography I quickly said I want to play too!! Everything turned out so beautifully and so it was great to be a part of. Especially great because Tori has probably the cutest little boy ever, who is my boyfriend for life whether or not she will allow it. And even more especially great because Gigi's Cupcakes + Maison de Macarons provided lots and lots and lots of sugar. I mean... I think Tori will forevermore call me the skinny fat girl because I think know that I ate about 5 mini cupcakes, 7 French macarons, and then a few lot more mini cupcakes. This is reason #74 as to why Nicole needs an Herbalife coach to keep me on track (shoutout to Serwaah!) But seriously, it's no exaggeration trust me... I am the biggest sugar monster ever. Anyway, enough about my love for sugar... for more from the shoot go here! And in the meantime, hope you'll enjoy the feature and then go check out the entire DIY Weddings Issue here! 

Huge shout out also to all the incredible vendors who helped make this happen: flowers from A to Zinnias; Jessica Mock of Dollface by Jules; Cupcakes from Gigi's Cupcakes, cake from Holli's Cakes, and macarons from Maison de Macarons; Bethesda Academy; dress from J'adore Bridal; and last but not least, other rentals from Savannah Special Events! Thanks for lending your time to put together some pretties and I hope we get to play again soon!!

{STYLED SHOOT} Vintage Southern Shoot with Ever Thine Vintage Rentals at Whitefield Chapel

Layla first suggested to me to check out Ever Thine Vintage Rentals via Facebook to see what she had in stock. I instantly did and then right away added her on Facebook and I feel like her and I became instant friends. I secretly, well not secretly anymore, wish she lived in Savannah because she is not only the sweetest person ever but mostly because I have a big crush on her son... Anyway, we chatted it up about the possibility of her traveling to Savannah for some of my client's upcoming weddings and I am so excited to say that we will be working together this October for a wedding at the Roundhouse Railroad Museum!!! 

Anyway, when she mentioned she would be in Savannah for a styled shoot I instantly was like I'll help! Pick me!! And I was lucky enough because she welcomed me on board. Tori did an incredible job styling this shoot and I helped find some vendors to fill in the gaps and of course I added some signature "Nicole" details (i.e. antlers... gold mini animals... the necessity of having macarons and a floral halo...) Luke of Lone Pine photographed everything on the grounds by Whitefield Chapel; A to Zinnias provided the gorgeous floral centerpieces, bouquet, and floral halo; Jessica Mock of Dollface by Jules did the hair and makeup; Bethany of Gigi's Cupcakes provided the beyond delicious cupcakes that made me gain about 20 million pounds and Maison de Macarons provided the amazing French macarons; Holli's Cakes made the gorgeous cake; Savannah Special Events let us borrow the banquet table for our tablescape; the three gorgeous dresses were from J'adore Bridal!

Now with all that being said... as you guys can obviously now see how awesome her rentals are... I have a huge favor to ask ya'll!!!!! When I woke up this morning I saw on Facebook a picture of Amanda and AJ on Ever Thine's Facebook page and realized they were entered into her contest to win free vintage rentals. I squealed with excitement NO LIE. Probably because Amanda and AJ are maybe the sweetest, most gracious, incredible, and fun couples I have ever met. Not just that but they will always hold a special place in my heart since they are actually the first couple that signed with me and me alone after I purchased the business from Layla! Their wedding is going to be this October at the Tybee Wedding Chapel and it is going to be such a romantic and intimate candlelit wedding, I cannot wait!!! So now it's your turn to go vote for them here!!!!!!
