A New Look for Lemiga!

noreply@blogger.com (Lemiga Events) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:30:00 +0000

I'm literally jumping up and down with excitement as I type this! After so many (too many) months I finally get to reveal the new branding and blog-site of Lemiga Events! This is really due completely to the hard work of Melanie with Lucky and Lovely. After a not so good experience with another designer, she has been my own personal angel and superwoman! Her dedication and determination to capture the true essence of Lemiga Events with our branding and marketing pieces has truly been a godsend for me. Working with her has been a breath of fresh air and I'm so excited to have branding that represents what Lemiga is all about. If you need help with your branding definitely contact her!

We have streamlined our services and now only offer full service wedding and event design. This means no more day of coordination. I’m always more fulfilled when I can help my clients through the planning process from beginning to end. And, my true passion lies in “designing” as well as planning for my clients. So we are refocusing the core of Lemiga Events to provide wedding and event design services to our all of our clients in addition to planning and logistics.

Lemiga Events is a premier event design boutique specializing in stylish and glamorous affairs for a discerning clientele. We are passionate about creating unique and exceptional moments that will be remembered for a lifetime. Our love for design and intricate details is what defines our signature event style. Enchanting venues, sumptuous fabrics, stunning floral and captivating stationery are some of the elements that make our events spectacular. Our weddings & events emulate the opulence, texture and richness of life’s most significant moments.

What do you envision? Classic romance in a luxurious ballroom. Chic & swanky atop the city’s skyline. A rustic, elegant vineyard ceremony. Together, we help you define your vision to craft a celebration that reflects your heart’s desires. We work closely with all of our extraordinary vendors to produce a cohesive design and coordinate a seamless event. From the moment your guests walk in until the very last heart-pounding dance, your event will leave a lasting impression.

The Lemiga Events blog will be a source of inspiration for those interested in glamorous and fabulous weddings and events. In addition to featuring our own weddings and events, we will be sharing ideas that inspire us from home decor, fashion, and other glamorous weddings.

We hope you enjoy our new look and will continue to follow our blog and our journey as we continue to grow and develop as a company. Don’t forget to update your RSS feed and follow along at http://www.lemiga.com/blog/

A Winery Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Lemiga Events) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:30:00 +0000

Last week I was completely spoiled by Ritz-Carlton Atlanta, at a wedding planner mini-retreat. We were wisked away on a limo bus from Atlantic Limo to the North Georgia Wine Country, where we visited two wineries. Both are picturesque options for wedding venues.

The first winery, Frogtown Cellars, features a wrap-around porch and two large decks with a breath taking view of the vineyard and North Georgia Mountains. Built on top of a hill, their timber frame structure has cathedral ceilings, hand-carved Tennessee flat stones walls and brazilian cherry floors. Here is a wedding held at Frogtown, shot by Alea Moore Photography

The second winery, Wolf Mountain Vineyards, features wedding ceremonies in their covered pavilion, which overlooks the vineyards with breathtaking views of the mountains. They can accommodate up to 200 guests at their event facility, which sits atop the winery, for the reception. Here is a wedding at Wolf Mountain shot by W. Scott Chester Photography

Holiday Party at St. Regis

noreply@blogger.com (Lemiga Events) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:30:00 +0000

Last night I attended a holiday party at the St. Regis hotel in Buckhead, and it was absolute perfection! No detail was overlooked from the service, food, drink, and even the smell was divine! Of course there was fab holiday decor.

Outside on the pool deck they had a fire with smores!

And an even bigger surprise...an ice skating rink!!!
The hotel also had the lighting of their beautiful Christmas tree
I left the party so in the holiday spirit. Just look at this warm cozy fireplace in the lobby.
