WRENNWOOD DESIGN

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

NICOLE & DAVID 5 Star Review "My wedding was a dream that couldn't have been accomplished without Amberly and her team. We are so grateful for her calm nature, her stunning eye for floral arrangements, and her incredible organization! I wish we could live in that day forever! We could go on forever complimenting this wonderful company!!!"

WEDDING VOWS TODAY, I PROMISE YOU THIS: I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in times of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement.

PLANNER'S NOTE You know that split moment when you meet the person you're meant to spend the rest of your life with? Or the minute your eyes meet with the most perfect throw pillow? I wake up every day and get the opportunity to work with couples like you, feeling that absolute same delight. Since 2011 when Wrennwood Design first debuted, I've managed to fall head over heels with playing such an integral role in one of the biggest days of people's lives.

My name is Amberly and I live for the pretty. I live in Atlanta with my husband, Landon, my sweet little girls, Madison and Annalise and Tyson, our loveable black lab!

I'm also a purveyor of sweetness, a connoisseur of beautiful blooms and a believer that every event deserves to be distinctive and on a level of its own. From intimate ceremony celebrations set under a canopy of whimsical paper flowers, to dance parties in charismatic old barns, I work endlessly to marry together the playful and the pretty so that you can focus on marrying your best friend. I'm game for a healthy dose of glitter, a touch of delicate lace and copious amounts of timelessness.

I squeal for a successfully executed surprise and give really awesome hugs, too.

Weddings don't need to be stuffy or stressful, and it's my job to make sure we steer clear of both.

I can't wait to meet you!

PHILOSPHY

OUR APPROACH TO LIFE AND BUSINESS IS SIMPLE. We show up at the opening of an envelope. We've never met a happy hour we didn't love. We RSVP "yes." We are the first to arrive at the venue and the last ones to leave the dance floor. If there is a celebration of any size, we'll be there with bells on. Selfie or it didn't happen. There is no replacement for genuine human connection and face time with those you love. These are the days that make living good. We want to share our spirit with you.

OUR MISSION IS TO GET TO THE CORE OF WHO YOU ARE. From your sense of style, interests, and personality – we want to cultivate a unique experience full of details that are reflective of your aesthetic and vision.

The drive behind our creative process is our focus and strong sense of presence: we work hard to listen to your needs and desires, develop a plan of action for achieving your goals, counsel you in the best practices and creative solutions along the way, and deliver an exceptional experience for you and your guests with a personal attention to detail unlike any other. Our seasoned team of experts and collaborative spirit with our creative partners sets us apart and establishes Sapphire Events as a leading premier event planning and design firm.

TIME TO CELEBRATE If you’re like me, you love perusing the latest art and decorating books and magazines. I’ve always had a passion for art and good design and I believe that we should surround ourselves with beauty to keep feeling inspired and refreshed. In my career, I’ve brought this philosophy to every event and wedding I’ve had the pleasure of designing. I approach each party as an artist and I aim to create a beautiful world that reflects my client’s personal style.

I am thankful to all of the incredible clients who have allowed me to be part of their beautiful weddings and fantastic parties over the years. Their trust means the world to me and I am deeply honored. I welcome any questions you might have about our company and hope that we meet to plan your unique celebration.

WRENNWOOD DESIGN | PAGE 12

I like to encourage couples to think of their wedding as the largest dinner party they’ve ever thrown. Why? Because your wedding should fit in with the rest of your taste and lifestyle, not be the exception.

You want to treat your guests as if you’re welcoming them into your own home.

Your wedding should look and feel like it’s yours and nobody else’s. Everything, from the invitations to the ceremony and the space itself, should be infused with personalized details that create an event unique to you.

My favorite part of designing and event planning is collaborating with my clients. I absolutely love getting to know them: I ask about what they like, what they read, what they wear, as well as what their favorite flowers, colors, and places to travel are, and even which restaurants they love. In fact, many of my past clients are amongst my closest friends today! I also talk with them about whether they prefer a cleaner, more modern look, or one that’s more rustic or possibly even ornate and traditional. I urge my clients not to sway towards the latest trends, but rather to follow an approach that will make their wedding feel distinctly like “them.”

Together, we hunt and gather: hunt for personal, meaningful items and gather design details that allow us to bring out the most loved elements found in these items. The key is to always keep your eyes open—you never know where you’ll spot that little something that inspires your entire event!

TODAY, I PROMISE YOU THIS: I WILL LAUGH WITH YOU IN TIMES OF JOY, AND COMFORT YOU IN TIMES OF SORROW. I WILL SHARE IN YOUR DREAMS AND SUPPORT YOU AS YOU STRIVE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. I WILL LISTEN TO YOU WITH COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING, AND SPEAK TO YOU WITH ENCOURAGEMENT. TOGETHER, LET US BUILD A HOME FILLED WITH LEARNING, LAUGHTER AND LIGHT, SHARED FREELY WITH ALL WHO MAY LIVE THERE. LET US BE PARTNERS, FRIENDS AND LOVERS, TODAY AND ALL OF THE DAYS THAT FOLLOW. THE VOW

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
