The Bride Heidi Tabor, 23, works in public relations The Groom Tyler Samuel, 24, a marketing consultant The Date July 29 Heidi says, maintaining a theme was simple because it was basically my personality in the form of a wedding. This translated into a romantic, vintage-style celebration filled with warmth. The couple used a palette of ivory, taupe, champagne, blush and gold to finish the look.

Groom's Cake
Tyler loves to fish, so the florist added a fishing lure to his balsa-wood-bloom boutonniere.
Heidi wore a lace-detailed gown with a pearl-and-crystal belt. Tyler chose a classic black suit and skinny tie for their day-after photo shoot.
The girls wore strapless taffeta dresses in a taupe hue called toast.
Each tier of the white and lavender cake was made to mimic a different detail from Heidi's wedding dress.
Centerpieces
Vintage tea cups from the women in Heidi and Tyler's families were on display.
Heidi carried elegant ivory and blush roses with some ivory balsa-wood blooms.
The couple left their reception through a tunnel of sparklers.
Heidi designed the ceremony programs; she included a lace design on the top and bottom and the couple's monogram.
Large crystal chandeliers hung over tall gold vases filled with white-and-blush floral arrangements.
Heidi originally chose these ivory peep toes, but switched them out at the last minute for comfy, blush-colored wedges.
The bride entered the ceremony space through a parted airy curtain.

Guests could relax in the lounge area on the mezzanine of the reception hall.
Instead of a traditional guest book, friends and family signed a piece of art which detailed important moments in the couple's relationship.
The Grand Atrium at 200 Peachtree needed very little in the way of décor, so the couple added fresh rose petals and two large floral arrangements on the altar.
