A Legendary Summer...

On January 24, 2010, we were part of a bridal show at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. The Bridal show was titled “A Bride for all Seasons” and we choose to represent the summertime (so appropriate for us Atlanta natives)!!

We have all heard that the “HOT” color this season is a bright, canary yellow. One of our talented Event Designers, Amy Saltzman, created a beautiful canary toned summer wedding that she called “A Legendary Summer.” Amy took this to a new level using fresh lemons, a plethora of yellow Forsythia branches, beautiful Sunflowers and soft yellow Oncidium Orchids.

The mixture of all these yellow elements along with green moss, White Dendrobium Orchids, Hydrangea and gorgeous burch trees was the perfect combination to make you feel like you were in a summer bliss!!! For more photos taken by the lovely Nancy Jo McDaniel, enjoy this gorgeous slide show http://www.njmphotography.com.temp.livebooks.com/data/web/ALegendarySummer/index.html.

We would also like to thank Heather from Atlanta Occassions for mentioning A Legendary Event in her blog post "Inspired by this: yellow, yellow, yellow!" She commented that we acheived our summer creation with "flying YELLOW colors". Thanks for the compliments Heather!!

Legendary Events Flourish with Amy Saltzman

Amy Saltzman brings over ten years of experience in event design and planning to A Legendary Event. Her emphasis on Society Weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and Corporate Events helps to round out A Legendary Event’s Design Team. Design Sales Team Director Deb Steege calls Saltzman “Our ‘unique element’—she brings so much to the table in terms of her design sense and wit. She truly keeps us all laughing.” Event Consultant Terry Saxe concurs, “Amy is a breath of fresh air and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism coupled with her fabulous sense of humor and her ability to connect with clients makes her an asset.”

Saltzman’s background of owning her own small catering company and coordinating events at Event Design Group make her the perfect fit at A Legendary Event. Former president and owner of Event Design Group Barbara Roos says that Amy is “bright, talented, and her people skills are the best.” Amy’s skill set is exceptional. She oversees each of her events from original inception to final on-site set-up by working closely and pro-actively with floral teams, sub-vendors, and other coordinators. Tony Conway, president and owner of A Legendary Event says, “Amy’s extensive expertise, especially with high-end social and corporate events is such a huge asset to our team.”

When asked what she brings to each event Amy says, “my ability to see that the client’s personality comes through.” With 30 events a year, it seems like a tall order; however, Amy relies heavily on the extensive support team at A Legendary Event to get her job done. One of the team members she works most closely with is Floral Director Kim Vasil. Recently, they collaborated on creating stylish “Sustainable Tables” for eco-conscious clients “concerned with having a beautiful event without harming the environment.”

Currently, they are creating a “rustic but elegant” floral design for a bride who simply loves the outdoors. “We’re capturing the bride’s essence by incorporating a bird’s nest motif.” Amy says she may be most partial to designing weddings because, “it’s very rewarding to know that I’m working on something that people will always remember.”
