Emmie Cate and Richard’s wedding at Athens Country Club felt like one big exhale after watching the weather app all week.
It rained off and on all day, but every moment that really mattered stayed perfectly clear. Which felt very fitting for a day where the best part was simply having everyone together in one place.
These are two of the sweetest families, and you could feel that in every part of the day. A massive bridal party, guests packed in ready to celebrate, and the kind of energy where everyone genuinely wanted to be there. And Emmie Cate… every detail felt so personal to her. She’s an artist and designed so much of the wedding herself, which made the entire day feel layered in a way that was really special. From the invitation suite to the custom touches throughout the reception, her style was woven into everything so gracefully!
The silk scarves for guests might still be one of my favorite details. Such a fun nod to Athens with little illustrations of places meaningful to them woven throughout.
Also, a surprise Redcoat Band entrance at the reception is hard to beat.
Just a really good day with really good people. The kind you leave feeling lucky you got to witness it.
