Ciji Ann Photography::::Who captured the face of Leave it to Lindsey

I am a huge believer in supporting friends and family on their new adventures. My friend Ciji has a precious little boy and a full time stay-at-home job, but in her free time she loves to capture beautiful art with her camera. I believe she has a new career on her hands! She does amazing newborn shots, engagement pictures, and now testing the water with weddings! She knows just how to get the right angle to make any scene gorgeous! I knew that when I started my business that I wanted her help in making a face for Leave it to Lindsey. When people are looking for reliable, hard working vendors, they want to see the person whom they will trust in to do the job! Leave it to Lindsey and Ciji Ann Photography are just that, hard working, creative and inspiring people!

Katie & Zach Prom 2011

My sweet sweet Katie from Formally Yours went to the Parkview Prom with her super cute boyfriend Zach, or Zachary, or Zacc-a-ree depending on the day! Well I didn't hesitate to tell her that I would do her flowers for her! She's a simple girl so she didn't want a big elaborate corsage. Her gorgeous dress, from Formally Yours of course, was black and white, so I used little spray roses to create the corsage and boutonniere. I know she had an amazing time at her senior prom and I am so happy for her for graduating!!! I hope Katie has the best experience at North Georgia and doesn't forget about me!!!!

Gathercoal::Moore Wedding 4.22.11

WOW! What a sweet couple this was! Melissa Gathercoal was actually my customer at Formally Yours, and we got to talking about her wedding and she pretty much hired me right then and there! She loves color and wanted a very "wildflower" look. Her bridesmaids' colors were a mixture of greens, and she wanted a pop of purple and pinks. She hated the idea of sprays on the alter so I came up with the idea of stringing smalls buds of flowers to hang from the alter. Originally we had planned to hang votive candles but because she was getting married in the spring, the sun stays out so late that it wouldn't show up, so I found these amazing crystals to hang on the ends. She also wanted to scatter rose petals down the sides of the aisle, but no blanketing! Just a light scatter! (She also hated the idea of roses but it's so hard to get away from them in the flower business lol) I threw some in here and there but not noticeable. Melissa was able to hit the jackpot with mason jars! She had a friend of the family that let her borrow all of the ones we used. We hung them at the end of the rows at the ceremony with a mixture of flowers and then gathered different sizes together to create the centerpieces for the reception. Overall I believe she was very satisfied and her vision for her wedding was complete! I loved working with Melissa! Hopefully they will hire me again for her sister's wedding next year! ;)

Harris::Moore Wedding 4.16.11

First of all, BIG THANKS goes out to my girlfriend Ansley Rice for referring the bride to me! Look out in September for Ansley's wedding! So happy to be working for her!!

Gina Harris came to me originally for a wedding gown. Of course I found the dress of her dreams for her within 5 dresses! We began talking more about her wedding, and I mentioned that I do flowers. She jumped right on it! Her and her fiance had a day wedding at the Buckhead Club overlooking the city. She just needed a few touches for the ceremony so I had the pleasure of creating two large pedestal arrangements and the bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids. It was a black and white wedding with a touch of silver. On the bride's bouquet, I added small black beads to bring in the color. I wrapped the bouquets with black ribbon and added a slight touch of sparkle with crystal buttons. The bouquets were a mixture of white flowers including hydrangeas, roses and miniature gerber daisies. The cake also needed a little upgrade so Gina asked me to create a cake topper which consisted of the same flowers as the bouquets.

I just wanted to thank the bride for letting me be a part of her big day!
