Blush and Grey Garden Wedding at the Swan House

Share

Happy bride and groom surrounded by wedding party

Margaret and Tom’s fresh garden wedding is a total dream! Shades of blush, dusty grey, and ivory were the perfect hues to compliment their gorgeous venue, The Swan House in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Their outdoor “I dos” were interrupted by a rain shower, but they didn’t let that dampen their big day! In fact, it ended up being on their favorite candid moments. Read their sweet story below, and be sure to visit the full gallery for a closer look captured by Amy Arrington Photography.

choosing the perfect venue

From Amy Arrington Photography: Margaret and Tom chose The Swan House in Atlanta, Georgia as their ceremony and reception venue. The bride and groom fell in love with the architecture and history of the 1928 historic home in part because of the bride’s special connection to the space. As an architect, the Father of the Bride sketched The Swan House very early in his career. That sketch was used in the invitation suite as well as throughout various design elements on the wedding day. The couple chose a neutral color palette including blush, grays, and creams to accent the stunning venue.

getting through the rain

The weather forecast had changed so many times that day, and they very much wanted the ceremony they had been planning and hoping for. Margaret and Tom opted to chance mother nature and went ahead with their ceremony on the lawn. Unfortunately, strong winds and rain began to fall just as they were about to say their “I do’s.” Everyone rushed inside the Atlanta History Center, where the remainder of the ceremony was performed.

their favorite memory of the day

While that wasn’t a part of the original plan, it still made for some really great memories for everyone. In fact, their favorite image of the day is the black and white photo of them running under an umbrella laughing with their Maid of Honor and Best Man! Their day was incredible from beginning to end, and we were so honored to be a part of it all.
