{Brooke & Ware @ The Renaissance Vinoy}

October 9, 2013 Carrie Wildes

Brooke and Ware live in Atlanta, and their family and friends traveled in from all over to celebrate this amazing wedding weekend with them! It was so fun to be a part of the rehearsal dinner and get to hear a little glimpse of how much everyone loves them and how excited they were for the wedding.

When I arrived on Saturday morning, Brooke was getting her hair and makeup finished and all the girls dresses were perfectly hung for me. I LOVE her shoes, I sent a pic to my husband for Christmas present ideas hint hint, he said "I'll just get a can of red spray paint and fix all your shoes" ah! The funny this is I was working with Alex, from Voila Cinematic and he said the same thing! Brooke's dress is from the Say Yes to the Dress store in Atlanta. It was made of beautiful lace with little off the shoulder sleeves and a crystal sash. When Sylense was out with the boys in Vinoy park, they met another bride also getting married. They both had very special gifts for a each other that the maid of honor delivered to the boys, and the best man to the girls. Ware was totally in shock that Brooke surprised him with Master's tickets, I still don't know if he believes it:-) Brooke was equally shocked with the letter her wrote her and the perfect Michelle watch.

We were on the 4th floor overlooking the tea garden and we could watch as they were building the florals. They actually took off the top of the fountain and replaced it with gorgeous yellow and white florals. Ware teared up as he saw Brooke appear with her dad. The grand ballroom was draped with tall florals in mercury glass. From the second everyone entered, the Headliners rocked the night away! I think the biggest surprise of the evening was that Brooke's dad Gary, actually made a star Trek film that he starred in, which then went into a sweet slideshow that played during the father daughter dance. I have to say, Gary, that was pretty awesome. Brooke and Ware met at Auburn, so there was an Auburn cake and pom poms for all, and for their exit! There are so many more fun moments I could share but I'll let you see the pics! Congrats Brooke and Ware!!! xoxoxo
