Southern Soiree: A Magical Day in Dahlonega
Yesterday, I took a charming little drive over to Dahlonega, Georgia, for a wedding inspiration shoot at the enchanting Juliette Chapel. With peak leaf season in full swing, the journey through the North Georgia mountains was absolutely mesmerizing. Every turn of the road left me swooning. Victoria Miller worked her magic once again, delivering an unforgettable styling masterpiece. This southern wedding soiree was straight out of a Gatsby novel, and every single vendor involved was phenomenal. All the details fell into place perfectly!
I was completely captivated by the inspiration for this shoot, with its nods to a bygone era. The elegant echoes of the roaring 20s and Jazz Age infused every element, from the stunning florals to the impeccably set reception tables. Personally, I adored the whimsical fox on the invitation suite and the classy cigar bar. And I can’t forget to mention the venue itself—pulling into the parking lot, I nearly cried at the sheer beauty of it all. The vibrant fall colors were just the icing on the cake!
Juliette Chapel: A North Georgia Gem
If you’re planning a wedding in North Georgia, the Juliette Chapel is an absolute must-see. Nestled in the forest, this venue features two simple yet stunning buildings: a charming chapel for ceremonies and a sleek reception hall. The modern architecture harmoniously blends with the natural surroundings, creating a breathtaking backdrop for any event.
The visionary behind Juliette Chapel, Kathleen Skelton, drew inspiration from the Wayfair Chapel in California and the Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas. Her dream was to create a space where nature and architecture coexist beautifully. After years of searching for the perfect location, she found it in Dahlonega, with its quaint downtown and picturesque foothills. Named after Kathleen’s daughter, who was three when the venue opened, Juliette Chapel has been a beloved spot for five years now. Kathleen, along with her two sisters, also runs the Limelight Inn next door, further enhancing the magic of this idyllic destination.
