As a successful wedding caterer in Atlanta, we know that choosing a color scheme for your wedding is not an easy task. While your favorite color (or colors) is a good place to start, there are so many new and exciting color combinations right now that staying with conventional pairings just seems so staid. So let your “something new” be a complete departure from the tried and true. See below for a few bold suggestions.
For a classic yet daring look, add a touch of gold to a black and white color scheme. Gold-trimmed wine glasses, black centerpiece vases with all white flowers and wispy gold ribbons glittering in the light — let your imagination take you back to a time when glamor was all the rage. If you’re changing outfits for some part of the evening, glam it up with a white boa, a solid gold gown and mile-high black stiletto shoes.
Serve black and white dessert items with a sprinkling of edible gold dust as a way to bring your evening of vintage glamor to a close. A Legendary Event can create a unique Atlanta catering menu to feature a variety of delicious dishes that reflect this color combination.
Pair traditional white with a terrific bold hue such as orange for an impact that will leave your guests stunned with awe. Set a luscious table with opalescent white bowls overflowing with orange fruits (kumquats, clementines, navel oranges) and dotted with showy white flowers like gardenias and orchids.
Or pair white with varying shades of slate for a smoldering, more sophisticated look. White and slate centerpieces (white flowers with slate accessories) will add drama to your table setting and help set the mood for an evening of revelry.
Different shades of yellow and green will imbue your celebration with cheer and good spirits. Choose from contrasting ends of the color palette to lend an ethereal quality to your reception (bright lemon yellow with pale mint for example). Cluster a variety of yellow blooms in jade-green celadon vases and use them as centerpieces for your tables. As experienced Atlanta caterers, we can create a variety of green and yellow drinks to serve at your wedding and carry the color theme from cocktail hour to the very end.
No matter what color scheme you choose for your wedding, we can weave it seamlessly into your celebration. A Legendary Event is a leading expert in the Atlanta wedding catering industry. When you let us handle your event, you are choosing an Atlanta catering company with the experience and creativity to come up with a truly unique and unforgettable event for you and your guests.

Additionally, a Southern summer wedding opens itself to a myriad of cocktail choices, some of which are outlined below. Continue reading
With a language and singular beauty of their own, flowers have the power to transform any event from simple to simply stunning. There is never a shortage of flowers from which to choose no matter what type of event you are planning. From a low-key but elegant wedding reception to full-blown corporate events, flowers play a significant role not only for the beauty they add to any occasion, but for the emotions they evoke so powerfully in any beholder.
The Symbolism of Pink Flowers
In the flower kingdom, pink speaks of innocence and daintiness; a certain playfulness that is beguiling and never vulgar or cheap. Little wonder then that this popular wedding color is considered by many brides to be one of the most romantic hues and is often incorporated into bouquets and reception flowers alike.
Pink Dahlias
This star-shaped blossom traditionally symbolizes hope for an eternal union between newlyweds. To evoke eternal devotion and dedication, accent a bridal bouquet with an elegant array of double-flowering pink dahlias.
Romance in Pink
Create a cascade of pink and white flowers to imbue an unmistakable air of good old-fashioned romance to your wedding. Combine delicate blooms with hardy perennials to fashion a bouquet that harkens back to a long-ago era when men and women used the language of flowers to speak of love.
Flirty in Pink
Add an element of liveliness and flirtatiousness to the occasion by pairing pink flowers with earthy peach blossoms. At once delicate and playful, this bouquet will keep both guests and groom guessing as to the mood and disposition of the bride throughout the ceremony and beyond.
The Beauty of the Pink Rose
The pink rose symbolizes joy and admiration, emotions that abound in any wedding. Exude a lightness of heart and being with bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets made with pink English roses and hydrangeas, flowers that signify enduring beauty and grace.
Bridesmaids’ Bouquets in Pink
Pink is a color that complements a wide range of other colors. Bridesmaids’ bouquets that come with a predominant array of pink flowers will look good against any bridesmaids’ gown.

Weddings are steeped in tradition. There’s something comforting and reassuring about embarking on the adventure of your life anchored by the strength of familiar and deeply significant family and community customs.
This does not mean, however, that as a modern bride you cannot add contemporary touches to your traditional Southern wedding. Below are a few examples; just channel your inner southern belle and have fun!
Most weddings tend to focus on the bride. Perhaps this is because they are often the ones working with their Atlanta wedding caterers and making the major decisions for the big day. The bride’s seal of approval has to be sought regarding the bridesmaids’ dresses, the wedding flowers, the venue, and of course, the all-important wedding dress. While your fiance may not always be involved in making major decisions, all men are interested in helping to create their own groom’s cake.
