Fall In Love

Patrick and Natalie said "I DO" at the perfect venue on October 20, 2012!

For this perfect couple, finding a unique venue that reflected their love of nature and FALL was important. One afternoon they took a ride through North Georgia and stumbled along The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm.

The venue was the home of a 19th century school house and dormitory. In 1923 the school and dormitory burned leaving only its stone footprint and large chimneys. These ruins create a one of a kind outdoor venue perfect for a Fall Wedding.
With the history at Kellum Farm, old books seemed a thoughtful choice to add to the centerpieces. Paired with vibrant floral arrangements and vintage candelabras, the centerpieces at their wedding were just as fun as the Happy Couple. Moss tucked in the nooks and crevasses add the "old" feel we were looking for.

 

 

 The best thing about The Ruins at Kellum Valley Farm, besides the breath taking scenery, is their Prop House. With a room full of vintage, unique, and one of a kind  pieces, deciding what to use and where to use it was fun yet challenging. The challenging part is picking out what to use, because one might find themselves wanting to use it all. Upon our first site visit the Bride and I fell in Love with a moss covered table......perfect for cake?

The floral arrangements were a reflection of not only their love of Fall but also they bright and unique personalities. Not wanting your "typical" wedding flowers, a fun assortment of wildflowers seemed the best choice for this bride.  Purple Zinnias, Red Gerber Daises, Trick Dianthus, Montbretia, Blue Thistle, Safflower, Cherry Brandy Roses, Mambo Spray Roses, Safari Sunset Leucadendron, hypericum berries, and sunflowers (with their petal removed) were the perfect combination. For a more natural approach, I placed the arrangements inside Birch Tree bark wrapped vases. Thanks for the help Mom!

 From the sign in to the gifts, vintage furniture and even an old cart....found in the prop house of course..... were used wherever we could think to use them.

With the breathtaking mountain views at Kellum Farm and the unique 19th century school house ruins, Patrick and Natalie were bound to get great PICTURES! Here are a few courtesy of their artistic photographers.... Davy and Lydia.... at JD3 Photography!
