Welcome back to Lee Marie and Zach’s ultra-glamorous reception!  In this post, we bring you “Club Lee Lee”.  The decor was modeled after a Parisian hotel with chandeliers, black lounge furniture and zebra print area rugs.  The entire event was caught on video by Ashley Chiles of {Lady Flash Productions}. To catch a glimpse of Ashley’s work and get an inside look to Lee Marie + Zach’s big day, check out the video on Ashley’s website {here}.  To see more of photographer Ashley Garmon’s work check out her {Blog}.  Thank you so much, Ashley, for sharing this wedding with us!  How about this fab cake!?

The weather on our wedding day was:  Full moon, which I love! Clear and in low 70’s.
What was the design inspiration for your wedding?  Hotel Costes in Paris.
Favorite design element of your big day:  Club Lee Lee. We transformed the bottom of the Argyle into a club to continue the party after the wedding. All the colors, lights, and flowers were mimicked after Hotel Costes.
Describe your wedding flowers:  David Kurio is all I have to say! He is a genius! We went with deep reds, purples with a background of black which gave a very dramatic feel which is exactly what I wanted. There were buckets of purple orchids and roses that went on forever!
Describe your wedding cake:  Seven tiers and it was covered with sugar flowers.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was:  The music during the ceremony; which was the music from the movie The Mission and composed by Yo Yo Ma and Ennio Morricone.
Were there any special family traditions you included in the wedding?  I carried a handkerchief that was my Grandmother’s.  
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day?  When I changed out of my wedding dress into my Club Lee Lee regalia newly husband just stared at me and I will never forget that look in his eyes…we were the happiest people on the planet.
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Partied, laughed a lot and danced.
The honeymoon:  We went on safari in Botswana, Africa!

Congratulations to Lee Marie + Zach!

This Texas wedding is glamorous to the max!  Stunning floral design by {David Kurio Floral Designs}, photography by {Ashley Garmon Photographers}, wedding design and planning by Dee Ann Wilson.  Big thanks to Ashley for submitting this uber-chic wedding to us.  Be sure to click back later to see images from the spectacular reception!

How did the two of you meet? Zach, who knew my Father, had seen us out to dinner one night and that was it!
Describe the proposal: Zach proposed to me on the lot that we bought to build our home on. He said, “This is where we will build our life, our memories and where our love will prosper.”
What attracted me to my husband was: His eyes.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress:  I had the wonderful folks at Julian Gold (James Glover) pull in three Vera Wang dresses that I had narrowed down and the one I picked was straight from the runway!
Why do you love your husband? His adventure for life.
A date we went on that we’ll always remember:  My 25th birthday he gave me my first dirt bike and taught me how to ride it.  That weekend was quite the adventure!

Be sure to check back shortly for more from Lee Marie + Zach...

This is the kind of reception that we want to jump right into!  Delicious food, fun photo both time, fabulous music and dancing, boiled peanuts, oh my!  Entertainment by {Sir Laurence and 1st Class}. The event was catered by {Five and Ten} of Athens.  Cupcakes by {Fountain of Juice} and wedding cake was created by {The Grit Athens}.  Check out more of Lily + Jordan’s wedding on A Bryan’s {Blog} (which has a really fun interview with the couple) & {Gallery}.  Thanks a million to the A Bryan men for sending this inspiring wedding our way.  Be sure to watch the movie below…

Favorite design element of your big day: The large colorful paper umbrellas borrowed from my cousin and the “lounge” area at the reception. 
Describe your wedding cake: A good friend Katie at a local Athens vegetarian restaurant, The Grit, made our wedding cake.  It free of MOST things found in cake due to Jordan’s many allergies.  It was actually delicious (and I don’t usually enjoy cake)!! We had cupcakes for our guests from a local Macon soup and sandwich shop, The Fountain of Juice.  They had been a small obsession of Mom’s and now I know why!!
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Most definitely the groomsmen’s shoes!! And the photo booth!! OH and the unique invites and programs designed by my talented hubby.
Funniest moment? Jordan: Haha. We left our marriage license in Lily’s car, forgetting that it would be taken to our hotel in the afternoon.  About 45 minutes before the ceremony we realized we didn’t have it and we couldn’t start the ceremony without it!  Everyone was asking me where it was but only Lily knew where it was and she was (obviously) busy.  It was insane!  Luckily there was a very nice police officer who raced with his blue lights flashing to our hotel downtown to get the license. 
What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? Fill your day with personal touches.  Design and plan your wedding according to the things that you and your love LOVE!
Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration. Jordan: I wish I could remember any one thing from that night.  It was so insane, so much love and fun and laughter.  I remember people’s faces and how much fun they were having and how happy they were to be celebrating Lily and me.  Therefore mine is neither advice nor memorable comment but a short amount of time between the groomsmen pictures and the ceremony where my best man (who is also my bff of going on 13 years) and I snuck off for a few minutes and he just prayed for me.  It was an incredible, intimate moment in the midst of an enormous celebration.  Through this event the advice I received was to make sure that I stay focused, making sure that my faith is at the center of my love for Lily and for our future together.  
What’s next for you as a couple?  LIVIN’ LOVIN’ and HAVIN’ FUN!!

Aren’t they a fun couple?  Check out this amazing 8mm film that the A Bryan Guys put together of their big day… Congratulations to Lily + Jordan!
