STYLED SHOOT:
From a bride in a stunning drape-back gown to a setting as storied and Southern as they come, we're falling in fast love with images from this black tie elopement at the historic Hardeman-Sams House in Athens, Georgia. A stationery suite boasting bold pops of black, a dreamy velvet vows book, and an endlessly romantic sweetheart table all come together to create an aesthetic that falls somewhere between classically romantic and très chic. Our only question: Can we make the guest list next time, please?

​

To say we enjoyed the planning and execution of creating a welcoming, classic, and special luncheon for Kim at 255 Milledge, is an understatement. Kim Moss, if some of you don't already know, is the newest owner and operator of the beautiful and historic Hardeman-Sams House in Athens, Georgia.
We've been in constant awe watching her this past year transform the house and gardens into a stunning venue that can host anything from small luncheons and meetings, to larger outdoor weddings and dinner parties. If you haven't stopped by to see it, I highly recommend it, as the newly rebranded 255 Milledge is competing with some of the top and most desirable locations to host an event.

Recently, the dining room inside served as the luncheon location for the Panhellenic Committee's House Mother's Luncheon. We wanted them to feel comfortable, yet honored as special guests, and we also wanted it to be fun! With the amazing team at LRG, serving up always delicious bites, and Kim's team of hosts, we joined forces with Brett at European Floral, Off The Wall Photo Booth, and Anna Shackleford Photography to set the tone and create a luncheon to be remembered.Recently, the dining room inside served as the luncheon location for the Panhellenic Committee's

These two are the definition of sweethearts. Their genuine love for each other was so apparent and made for such a magical day. Chelsea was a beautiful bride who incorporated so many thoughtful and unique elements in her day, including a gorgeous bouquet that she made herself filled with vintage brooches. We are also loving the Captain America details (pay close attention to the cake topper.) There are even some pretty incredible details for all the dog lovers out there

Limited 2017 spring and summer dates still available, call to reserve your dream wedding.

We wanted to update you on some very exciting news at the Hardeman-Sams House. On May 17, 2016, we became the proprietors of 255 Milledge. We are very excited about what this means for the venue as well as our clients, and you should be seeing some positive changes in the property over the next few months.

So what does this mean for you? The first immediate change is that we are investing more resources and finances to update the venue. As a first step, we are already working on basic repairs, maintenance, painting, cleaning....and more cleaning, interior design and landscaping. While we plan to include overall enhancement projects, we also want to hear from you on what you would like to see in the facility. So, we would appreciate it if you could email a couple suggestions to events@255milledge.com. Please be as specific as possible, and also realize that we may not be able to get to all your requests.

So what else will be changing? First, the name of the owner and business name will change. We will also be launching new branding, an updated web site with more online resources and a new Facebook and Instagram page for our social butterfly customers (please show your support by “liking” us).

We are looking forward to making lots of positive changes within the next several months and over the long run to improve the property, level of event experience, support, and continued enhancement of facility. These are exciting times for us and we are anxious to share these improvements with you as they develop. Please stay tuned for more news.
We thank you for your support and welcome your feedback.
