Romantic & Glamorous College Sweetheart Wedding In Atlanta, Georgia

The Save to Loverly button makes it easy to save your dream wedding inspiration and vendors to your planning dashboard.

These college sweethearts had a glamorous black-tie wedding in the heart of Georgia.  Read their story and see their stunning wedding photos below.

Jeff and Laura met in 2005 at Georgia Southern University. She was a “Little Sister” for his fraternity (how adorable is that?!). After he graduated and she moved to Savannah, Ga, they hadn’t spoken to each other until 2013 when Laura came back to Atlanta for a wedding. They ran into each other at a bar in Atlanta and have been together ever since!

Laura wasn’t into the bright colors so she decided to go with light neutrals for her color scheme. "I wanted a soft, earthy, romantic feeling. I wanted a lot of candle light and lush greenery". Laura's favorite moment of the day was walking down the aisle with her dad, looking at Jeff looking back at her with his soft eyes. Also, of course the reception! Dancing and partying is what they do best! Laura pinned a broach her grandmother wore all the time to her bouquet. She also had her mink stole in case it was a chilly night to incorporate some meaningful family heirlooms into her special day.

We are gushing over the way he looks at his bride!

Pretty white blooms with earthy tones mixed in!

Can you just look at the detail on the back of that heel! Stunning.

A grand entrance in a breathtaking church ceremony.

The centerpieces, string lights and candles added a romantic whimsical touch.

This overhead table arrangement is absolutely magical!

Hooray for cake and desserts!

A beautiful venue for a beautiful night.

Complete with a sparkler send off for this glowing couple!
