Real Weddings: Greta & Andre

I know this has taken me a while to get to, but here are some great pictures thanks to the uber talented altmix photography. Greta and Andre were married on January 8th, 2010. The day after a major ice storm hit Atlanta. Most business shut down, but the party went on for this fun couple and their guests!
Andre was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his stunning bride, Greta.
After the couple saw each other for the first time, they headed out and around with Matt and Kate. They were very daring and even went outside (just after the huge ice storm!) for some fantastic pictures. The sun provided really great lighting that these photographers just couldn't pass up!
After being outside for a while, the couple came back in and took advantage of the beautiful red velvet couches and fabric walls that 103West has to offer in the lobby. Also, please allow me to take a moment to tell you how fantastic 103 West is as a wedding facility. They were so accommodating to Greta and Andre, always a pleasure to speak with on the phone, quick to respond to any needs, and always offered outstanding service!
I love how the photographers were able to capture how delicate of a bride Greta was, and always graceful! I also wanted to point out the stunning hair, which was done by Raney O'Keefe. She also did a beautiful job on the bridal party's makeup!
I loved Andre's ring. They worked with the jeweler and designed it themselves.
Their ceremony took place in the small area off to the left of the lobby area. It provided the perfect space for such an intimate wedding.
The florist for this event was Heather Kocevar of Stems Atlanta. She did so many beautiful submerged flower arrangements. I think there were over 60 in total! All perfectly rounded off with floating candles!
One of the best parts of the food was the dessert buffet. If you've got room in your budget, I strongly suggest it. Guests were enjoying it throughout the evening. Mini creme brulee, fresh fruit tarts. chocolate covered strawberries, tiramisu, you name it, it was on that buffet!

The music that kept the dance floor packed was provided by Chris Meeks of Pulse DJ Services. I strongly recommend him due to his utmost professionalism and fun character.

I had such a great time with this couple. Thank you Andre & Greta!
