Oh how I have been dying to show you today’s feature! We’ve got allllll the pretty, romantic details from the vow renewal celebration between Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell and his wife of ten (!) years, Leighanne. Held at their beautiful Atlanta home, the night was themed “Barbie Meets Joe Black” — now is that a theme, or what? Get ready for synchronized swimmers, FOUR outfit changes, to-die-for details and two very special performances….

Planning by Soiree Catering and Events and shot by Ben Vigil, sit back with that second cup and enjoy.

What inspired the theme or style? Leighanne’s love for that time period, their vows, family and friends.

Can you give us an overview of the event? 10 Year Anniversary wedding vow renewal at the couples private home outside of Atlanta for the couples closest friends and family. Seated dinner and dancing, synchronized swimmers in the pool during cocktail hour, and fireworks to cap off the night.

Was there a specific theme or style? Barbie meets Joe Black, Pink,Black and Silver was the color scheme.

What were your playful twists that made the event unique? Synchronized Swimmers for cocktail hour with custom suits by Wylee, Leighanne’s designs. Old Fashioned Champagne Cocktails, and Fireworks. The couple gave Wylee scarved as favors to the guests.

What kind of energy did your entertainment give the event? Music ranged from Sinatra tunes to a live pianist, and a solo from the Backstreet boy himself, Brian Littrell. The guests were dancing all night!

Tell us about the food and desserts. Soiree Catering and Events kept a classic theme throughout the menu, as well as some of the couple’s favorite items. Passed hors d’oeuvres included Calamari, Southern Greens with Goat Cheese, Cured Salmon in Cucumber Cups, and Flatbread Bites with Grilled Chicken, Rosemary, Sundried Tomatoes and Feta Cheese. The Seated Dinner began with an Appetizer course of Seared Sea Scallops over Succotash salad. The main course included Filet Mignon and Georgia White Shrimp, along with our layered Gruyere Potatoes and Asparagus. Mark Lotti with Classic Cheesecakes and Cakes designed and made the cake, which was covered in handmade sugar flowers- it was just stunning!

What was the most memorable moment? When Brian serenaded Leighanne with a special song he wrote for her, “Ten”, representing all the years they have spent together. Their son Baylee also jumped onstage and performed a few songs of his own.

If there was one thing you could change, what would it be? The rain! As soon as guests entered the tent for dinner, the down pour started. At least they were all under cover in time- but we always wish for clear skies.
