lance johnston weddings: cathey lee & ryan

July 28, 2015 by weddingsar

Just over a year ago, Cathey Lee and Ryan said “I do” at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock. Later, they celebrated at a gorgeous reception at the Country Club of Little Rock. The two met while attending Auburn University, where Ryan played football. To pay tribute to this special place, they incorporated their school colors into the reception send-off and the groom’s table. Cathey Lee describes their day as “Southern, classic, and elegant.” We couldn’t agree more! Enjoy all of these gorgeous photographs from Lance Johnston Weddings.

Stephanie’s mother made her exquisite wedding gown. “She has made a lot of my attire for important occasions throughout my life, from homecoming court to prom dresses, so it was only right that she make my wedding dress,” says the bride.

The modern, elegant design of the Clinton Presidential Center was the perfect reception venue. “We were immediately sold on the beauty of the open space and the windows in the great hall,” says Stephanie.

behind the scenes : spring/summer tabletop 1

July 30, 2013 by weddingsar

 

 

We loved experiencing the set-up of the tabletops featured in our spring/summer 2013 issue. Event and floral designers from around the state shared their most inspiring creations–tables full of eclectic colors, the enchanting outdoors, and inspiration from the dazzling 1920′s. We’re taking you behind the scenes to the photoshoot! {photography by Nancy Nolan}

Here’s our first tabletop. It features bold colors, stripes, and a mix of fresh flowers.
