Katie and Byron held a bohemian chic wedding at Little River Farms in Alpharetta, Georgia on a beautiful morning in May. When Katie and Bryon first met, there were hot air balloons in the parking lot. After a beautiful courtship, Byron proposed to Katie in a hot air balloon. So it was only right for the couple to have a hot air balloon their “Fly Away with Me” themed wedding. Their photographer, Andie Freeman, captured all the wonderful details.

Wedding Planning

Katie and Byron set the tone for their “Fly Away with Me” wedding with a beautiful invitation suite designed specifically for them by Southern Sophisticated Designs.  Each envelope featured calligraphy from Shannon’s Calligraphy and vintage stamps. Along with their RSVP card; guests were asked to send a swatch of their favorite fabric. Later, Katie and Byron would use each patch to create a quilt that they displayed at their wedding.

Wedding Day Details

Katie and Bryon were married in front of the vineyard at 9:30 in the morning. Katie’s father walked her down the aisle to a song she’d always wanted sung at her wedding, “Butterfly Kisses”.  As Katie walked down the lavender accented aisle, her mother gave her portraits of her grandparents to pin to her bouquet. When Katie and Byron kissed underneath the wine barrel bracketed alter, confetti showered them in color. A perfect scene captured by a watercolor artist.

After the ceremony, the couple jumped into the their hot air balloon for a quick ride and a photo op as their guests were served mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. The brunch reception was catered by one of their most frequented restaurants, Another Broken Egg. Guests were served a myriad of breakfast dishes on beautiful vintage china from English Teacup and each table was adorned in travel and hot air balloon themed centerpieces. Everyone danced into the afternoon with sounds from a two-piece jazz band. As Katie and Byron exited their reception they were flooded with colorful confetti.
