Real Weddings: Lindsey + Tyler

Lindsey and Tyler’s Atlanta wedding is so elegant and traditionally Southern!  Everything from the navy blue and pink color palette to the gorgeous location of the Atlanta Botanical Garden is pure, classic, beauty. Melissa Schollaert captured all of the lovely images, Lindsey Pitt of TOAST Events planned and executed the day flawlessly, and Amy Osaba worked her usual magic with the flowers – which included centerpieces of blueberries!

In addition to using the traditional Baptists vows, the couple exchanged vows that they had written.  They also incorporated their love of reading.  The bride’s cousins read selections from Philippians and from The Alchemist, by Paolo Coehlo.  They also included a passage from their favorite book, Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry, on the back of the programs.
