Springtime Vintage | Rachel + Wes | April 21

You just don’t find couples sweeter and more in love than Rachel + Wes, and working with them and their designers and friends Lauren & Krista was delightful. As fondly as we remember the big day itself, our jaws dropped when we got to relive it through these photos by Jessie Holloway (who was unknown to us before this wedding, and we are so glad to have found her). It is very safe to say that we want to have her back SOON! Brides, take notice!

Sweet Spring | Gioia + Grant | April 15

Gioia and Grant had a sweet and simple spring wedding for their 75 guests. Planner Crystal Varenkamp did a lovely job using the beautiful champagne and copper tones in this event, and these charming photos by Chris Mullins show just how much fun everyone had. Check out his blog for even more images!

Vineyard Vows | Melissa + Neil | April 16

This was the day of Wine & Roses! Such a beautiful vineyard inspired palette which our florist Caprice dressed perfectly with decadent amounts of roses, hydrangeas, calla lilies, and even fresh grapes. Our many thanks to Jen and Ann of The Photographix for sharing their photos with us!

Glamorous Garden Style | Natalie + Jon | April 2

When my dear friend Jon texted me – “I’m getting married!! And she [Natalie] loves CJ’s!” – I couldn’t WAIT to get to work on their big day!

It was also our first chance to have Brandon Chesbro shoot here. He and I have been wanting to work together for a long time, and I think you can see why! We’re lucky to have him three times this year, so check back for more from him.

Coffee

 They wanted a sleek, glamorous style in a classic black and cream color scheme, and just a little bit of bling. Caprice created a fantastic look for the gazebo with silver magnolia leaves and crystal strands, and we carried that over to the centerpieces as well.

Because this was a late evening ceremony, we followed it up with a fantastic dessert reception, complete with custom coffee bar. What a treat for the senses! We even added the “Cuban” to their menu – a delicious drink made with sweetened condensed milk and espresso (YUM).

Spring Love | Jennifer + Mike | April 17

Jennifer & Mike were married in an afternoon ceremony in the CJ’s garden on Saturday, April 17th. We couldn’t ask for a more fun couple to kick off our 2010 Spring season. We shared so many laughs (and a couple glasses of wine!) during their planning process and had a great time creating a bright, colorful vision for their wedding. They used the fantastic Hatch Show Print for their Save The Dates, Invitations, and take home favor posters in bold orange, green, and pink colors, which matched their candy bar perfectly.

I just adored Jen’s spring bouquet of multi-colored tulips!

Jen couldn’t wait to get on her brand new boots purchased especially for the wedding!

Jen & Mike met at work and are big fans of The Office – I thought these little nods to the show were so clever. ;) Our very own Jim & Pam!

Huge thanks to Joe and Rhonda Hendricks for these beautiful photos – it was our first time to have them here at CJ’s and we couldn’t be more pleased with their work!

And thanks to Jen & Mike for being a dream to work with, and christening our new Pavilion with such a perfect spring wedding!
