Spring Wedding Inspiration | Best of Greg Boulus Events

Spring is in the air and we can almost taste the warmer weather, blooming trees, and of course the delicious fragrance of spring blooms!

We our neck deep in the design phases of a few of our spring weddings so we thought it would be appropriate to share some spring wedding images to inspire any future spring brides out there!

When designing an early spring/spring wedding we try and keep the color palate fresh. While many of our brides are drawn to neutrals, it can be a fun time of year to inject a bit of color into the floral design as a nod to the prettiest season here in Augusta.

Legends Club Fall Wedding, Augusta, GA | Rachel + Dustin

We saved some of the best for our last blog post of 2017! We are always lucky enough to have the best clients, but it is truly something special when you get to design and produce a wedding day for one of your own. Rachel used to work with our team here at Charleston Street/Greg Boulus Events (and we did her sister, Kristen's wedding a few years back!), therefore when Dustin proposed we knew we were going to have a beautiful wedding to plan in the near future!  

Dustin and Rachel are high school sweethearts that have been together for years, therefore their wedding day was a much anticipated affair! Their love for one another is palpable through the images captured below by Lauren Carnes. And Lauren agrees that it was incredibly difficult to narrow down which shots we wanted to share, as they all showcased their love (and that stunning Anne Barge gown) beautifully.

During our initial planning meeting, Rachel told us she envisioned a romantic, fall-inspired wedding. Berry and wine colored hues, soft blushes, lots of candles, were the details that flowed throughout all of her inspiration images. However she left complete floral design up to our team, knowing from past experience that they would create something truly special for her. Judging from the images below of when she first saw her bouquet, it would look like we succeeded!

The ceremony took place at Fairview Church of North Augusta, while the reception was held at the Legend's Club in Augusta. With catering by Sean Wight's team at Frog Hollow, guests enjoyed a delicious meal while dancing the night away to the tunes spun by DJ Wade all the way from Charleston, SC. It was an incredibly fun-filled evening, we love when our couples get to spend a majority of their reception dancing with all their sweet friends and family!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Moore! We love you two and are so, so grateful that we had the opportunity to have a hand in such a perfect day.

Old Medical College Summer Wedding, Augusta, GA | Ashley + Thomas

When two former Medical College of Georgia students decide to get married in the groom's hometown, there is only one venue that really fits the bill. The Old Medical College in the heart of downtown Augusta. Ashley and Thomas, currently both residents living in Atlanta, knew immediately that this venue was the perfect fit for them as it was the original location of the first ever medical college in the state, now the current MCG!

From our very first meeting, Ashley knew she wanted a color palate of soft blush pinks and neutrals. Lush, feminine, and romantic. Our floral designers created beautiful bouquets of blush pink and white garden roses, white hydrangeas, hellebores, astillbe, and eucalyptus. The stunning portraits by Mark Williams Studio below showcase them beautifully alongside the bridesmaids' Donna Morgan dresses. The groom's boutonniere was composed of a single white ranculus, while the groomsmen boutonnieres were made of hellebores and some seeded eucalyptus.

Ashley and Thomas decided to have a first look which took place inside the historic Reid Memorial Church in the Summerville neighborhood of Augusta. Following the five-thirty ceremony at Reid Memorial, guests made their way downtown to the Old Medical College to enjoy a delicious southern meal by Tastefully Yours Catering. The same florals used in the personal florals were continued into the floral design of the reception as well. We draped the tables in champagne linen, lots of votives for ambiance, and finished them off with arrangements composed of lots of seeded eucalyptus, garden roses, hydrangea, and dusty miller. 

While guests munched on passed appetizers and the most beautiful charcuterie display you will ever see, our bridal party was announced and we kicked off the evening with Ashley and Thomas's first dance to the Etta James classic, "At Last." Make sure to scroll down to the very end to see some of the prettiest sparkler exit images we have ever seen. 

Ashley and Thomas, thank you for entrusting us with such an important day. It was so special to be a part of it and to get to meet your wonderful family and friends! Congratulations and we wish you many happy years ahead!
