Wedding Ceremony: the ceremony in the courtyard in front of colorful arches at their wedding at The Foxglove in Marietta, GA

“We fell in love with the courtyard for our ceremony and the industrial feeling to the reception space.”

That’s why Katie + Blake chose The Foxglove in Marietta, and their day filled both spaces with color. We did a styled shoot at The Foxglove a few years ago, but this was our first real wedding there, and it was so much fun.

The Details

Blake’s mom, Debra Livingston, made all of the flowers, from Katie’s bouquet to the boutonnieres and centerpieces, in every color of the rainbow. Blake designed the invitations himself. Katie’s pink heels with crystal straps came from Pinky Promise, and her rings came from Baxley Jewelers.

The Ceremony in the Courtyard

The ceremony was out in the brick courtyard, in front of a backdrop of pink, blue, yellow and teal arches, with the flower girls tossing red petals down the aisle. Katie’s father walked her down the aisle, and Rev. Scott Brown married them.

The Reception

Inside, the industrial reception space had string lights, chandeliers and exposed beams. Every table was named after a board game, like Risk, Clue, Rack-O and Operation, with a centerpiece to match. Dogwood Catering handled dinner, the cake came from Free Birds Vegan Kitchen, and Atlanta Wedding Band kept everyone on the dance floor all night.

We asked Katie + Blake for their advice for future couples, and we love what they said:

“Communication is key! Neither of you is a mind reader. Be honest with your feelings and what you want, and be kind when you’re on the receiving end of feedback.”

Katie + Blake, congratulations!
