WEDDING: Griffin-Casteel, Roswell River Landing, 6/26/10

Cathy Griffin and Robert Casteel chose Roswell River Landing as the site for their wedding and reception. It was a beautiful day and the river was providing the scenery and sounds that make the RRL a great venue.

Cathy and Robert are an active military couple, and do much for their community (volunteer fire fighter, red cross, etc). So when Jennifer Lackey of Storybook Weddings asked me to forward my information to them, I did. Cathy had no idea what design she wanted ... but certainly something simple with clean lines, yet elegant. After reviewing my portfolios, we decided on this three tier round cake on a square. Bordered in wine ribbon and adorned with large orchids. It came out great.

If you can zoom in on the topper, that was quite unique .... you'll see the bride and groom holding a heart .. well you put fragrance oil in the heart and it turns into a room freshener.

Thank you Cathy and Robert for giving me the opportunity to play such an important role on your special day.
