The C E Florals Blog: Chateau Elan weddings

Kimberly and Gray's wedding this past July was held at Chateau Elan, a winery located North of Atlanta. The winery, with its many attractive indoor and outdoor settings was the perfect backdrop for this handsome couple.

Beautiful bride Kimberly, chose a soft color theme of white and light pink with accents of gold for her decor and the result was stunning. At our first meeting, she brought pictures of the overall look she liked, including a picture of a floral wreath for her dog, who was to walk down the aisle. And at a later meeting, a request was made to provide some sort of tree for the reception, to be placed near the photo booth for the Auburn University Alumni guests to paper in honor of the bride and groom. Papering trees after a football win is a beloved Auburn tradition and I was happy to work this feature into the look of the ballroom - no easy feat given the glamorous look of everything else to do with this wedding. I knew I was going to enjoy designing for this couple!

Here are some pictures of the wedding taken by Jessica Williams Studio. Our very best wishes to Kimberly and Gray!

The photo booth area was the perfect
spot for the Auburn tree for 'rolling with a
sign that read "Roll the Tree
for Gray & Kimberly"

The beautiful reception ballroom at Chateau Elan

Congratulations to Erika and Gian. The setting for their wedding ceremony was on the grounds of Chateau Elan, in a beautiful spot among the grapevines. For decor, we added large urns of blue delphiniums, white roses and greenery on either side of the bride and groom to highlight the frame the spot where the vows would be exchanged. Instead of bows on chairs, we placed two shepherd hooks with vases of fresh flowers on either side of the last row of chairs, with flower petals lining the way.

The reception was inside a ballroom of Chateau Elan and colorful cakes were adorned along their bases with fresh flowers and petals in blues, lavender, purple and white.

Four large flower arrangements with blue delphiniums, purple stock, lavender roses and blue hydrangeas pared nicely with the periwinkle blue sashes on the chairs.
