A Classic Spring Destination Wedding in North Georgia? WE LOVE!
Emily & Jesse are a duo after our own hearts... their love for nature inspired their wedding day celebration at our North Georgia Wedding Venue, The Ruins at Kellum Valley. The “ruins” added a layer of earthy romance, complete with a perfectly muted palette of grey’s yellow’s and blush. Take a peek below to let this sweet day inspire your own, within the gorgeous imagery of Tiffany Marie Photography.

The pear diamond, also known as the teardrop, is unlike any other diamond cut. It’s called a modified brilliant cut, one that blends the Marquise and oval cuts with one rounded end and a point on the other. Its signature silhouette is instantly recognized and much beloved. Created in the 1400s, the pear cut diamond still retains its popularity today. Diamond cutter, Lodewyk van Berquem, invented a diamond-polishing wheel that enabled every facet of the diamond to be polished–a turning point in which all pear shaped diamonds going forward had the opportunity to exhibit superb light return and sparkle.
The pear has a similar faceting structure to the round brilliant cuts. Because of this, it retains that coveted fire and brilliance that makes a diamond sparkle.
The pear shape can be worn with the tip pointing upwards or downwards on the finger, so it is a shape of juxtapositions. The shape has dynamism to it, feeling classic, yet making a strong statement.
And the pear diamond trend hasn’t gone unnoticed by celebrities–stars from Katherine Heigl, Victoria Beckham and Carli B all wear pear diamond engagement rings.
Don’t you just love a Dad who pitches in to make things “just right” for his daughter’s wedding?
What is a wine ceremony? The main part of the ceremony consists of locking a bottle of good wine into a box for a certain amount of years – five or ten years is the most usual choice. The officiant explains the significance of this box, as it will be a promise of the power and the duration of the relationship during these years. When the time comes, the couple will open the box, drink the wine, relive their wedding day, and put a new bottle of wine to be opened again in their future anniversary.
When it comes to choosing the wine, it is important to make sure that the wine will last during all these years and will age well. Obviously, a wine that you both shared and has a special meaning is best! Advice on how to store the wine is also useful – most need a dark and cool place at a horizontal position. There are many wine box styles available: from wooden boxes with your names and date engraved to velvet-lined ones, and hand made options.
Some couples prefer to add an even more personal and romantic meaning to the ceremony, by writing letters to one another and locking them in the wine box, to be read by their future selves.
A wine box ceremony is the absolute way to declare your love and seal it for years to come!
It’s party time, and glow sticks are still one of the crazy fun things that guests love….they get everyone on the dance floor!
