Some more summer happiness! We helped Johanna and Brent plan their wedding while they were living in Tunisia, and if ever there were two more down-to-earth people, we've never met them. What a gorgeous event! We love these two and wish them all the happiness in the world.

Talk about a woman with a vision! Sanni and Carlos had an absolutely beautiful day at Cellar Gate Wine Market in Highwood, and we loved being a part of it. She rocked that dress, the ceremony was unbelievably sweet, and Sanni's vision for the decor was amazing. She designed and gathered everything herself, and with our execution, it came together beautifully. We loved the venue and all her vendors, and it was so much fun coming together with all of them to make their dream day come true. Congratulations, you two! We know you are going to have a brilliant life together!

There was breakfast-for-dinner which was enjoyed by everyone, and we capped the night off with a whole lot of dancing. It was an absolutely fabulous event for two wonderful people.
