Purple and White - A Romatic Vintage Wedding at The Veranda Inn in Senoia

We had the pleasure of providing the personal florals for Stephanie's wedding a little while back! When her sister Casey became engaged, we were contacted to provide them for her as well. There was no way we could say no! You cannot ask for a sweeter family and we were honored to be able to provide floral arrangements for both girls! Here are a few pictures provided by the talented Daniel Menacher. Daniel does portrait, wedding, family, and event photography and you can read his blog here and visit his image galleries here. To contact him by phone call 678-376-2744. Thank you for the images!


The wedding party all together on the grounds of The Veranda Inn.

Casey chose to have the bridesmaids bouquets mainly white with a little purple to stand out against their Victorian Lilac dresses.

Casey's bouquet was mainly purple and consisted of lavender calla lilies, purple anemones, lilac roses, white roses, and purple carnations with green amaranthus and crystal accents.

The beautiful bride!

We hope you enjoy these images and perhaps will find a little inspiration of your own!
