Wedding in the north Georgia Mountains with an added touch

I've been a part of catering and decorating weddings in the north Georgia area for 11 years. Event though a lot of what we do is the same each week, every couple brings in their own unique style and turns what would be a basic room into something magnificent. The Nichols wedding proved to be no different. Last night, the lodge at R-Ranch lit up into a fabulous display of candles throughout the lodge and draped fabrics and lanterns to accent at first the ceremony and be the decor marking the dance floor during the festivities. The guests at nearly 150 people enjoyed dining in the champagne and ivory accented table settings and dancing the night away under the twinkling lights that were hanging from the ceiling and placed all throughout the rocks on the fireplace. This beautiful decor was finished of with the perfect sweet ending, one of our most popular designs, brought to us from one of our brides back in May 2006, was made even more beautiful with the style that Elizabeth, our bride of the day, envisioned during on of our planning meetings back September. The cake with layers of Strawberry, Key Lime, and Chocolate was enjoyed by all the guests thankfully, since it was quite a big cake! We added flowers that matched the bouquets, tiering down the cake for accent. The bride wanted flowers, but not too heavy. She wanted to see the flowers as the accent and not the focus of the cake. All in all, another great success with Events By Dezine catering, cakes, and flowers. Our staff really did a faboulous job in making this wedding amazing. A finaly of sparklers for the send off was the perfect end to a beautiful candle light reception. I have to thank everyone including Mary Williams, Wendy Wood, and Tina Mincey plus the entire crew for their hard work and tireless effort to make all of our clients happy.

The Bosten Wedding goes green


The weather in north Georgia has been absolutely unpredictable over the past month. It was the same case for the wedding day of Richard and Dena Bosten. The weather called for massive storms, hail and high winds, yet, the day went from humid and a bit rainy to amazingly beautiful! The mountains surrounding the lodge lit up with sunshine and beautiful blooming flowers and trees. Dena's vision of her green reception decorated with natural rocks, lots and lots of candles, even down to green napkins, was completed with the amazing mountain surroundings of R-Ranch's lodge. The day was beautiful as was the reception we catered and decorated for Dena and Richard. Terilynn with Orpheus and Aphrodite Photography capured the events of the day and evening in what turned out to be such a beautiful wedding and reception. I can't wait to get some of the amazing photos she took, especially the sunset picture over the valley captured in my snapshot above.


We made the wedding cake which adorned matching flowers from the bride's bouquet and the Monogram to bring the family name into the theme of the reception. We are looking forward to seeing and sharing the pictures from Orpheus and Aphrodite from the Bosten's wedding featuring the flowers we created, the catering buffet adorned with greenery candles and crystals, and the amazing beauty of the north Georgia mountain surroundings at R-Ranch.
