Sage + Zachary

The wedding weekend for Sage and Zac was designed as a vibrant reflection of their energy, personalities, and shared sense of joy. As a luxury wedding planner in Atlanta, Pop + Fizz approached their celebration with the intention of creating an experience that felt immersive, expressive, and deeply personal at every touchpoint—from the welcome events through the wedding day itself.

From the very beginning, the design direction was rooted in one core idea: celebration should feel alive. We wanted guests to experience a world built around color, movement, and personality, where every detail contributed to a sense of fun and connection. Sage and Zac are naturally lively, warm, and full of character, and the entire weekend was crafted to reflect that spirit in an intentional and elevated way.

The aesthetic blended retro influences with subtle vintage references, layered thoughtfully with a bold and joyful color palette. Rather than leaning into a single design era, the approach was intentionally eclectic—balancing nostalgic touches with modern styling to create something fresh, unexpected, and full of personality. Each design decision was made to ensure guests felt fully immersed in the couple’s world, where no detail existed without purpose or personality.

Color played a central role throughout the celebration, used not just as decoration but as a storytelling device. From floral design to tabletop moments and experiential elements, every layer contributed to a cohesive yet dynamic visual experience. The result was a wedding environment that felt playful yet refined, expressive yet carefully curated.

In addition to the wedding day, Pop + Fizz also planned the couple’s rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Halfway Crooks, a meaningful Atlanta location that holds a special place in their story. It was at Halfway Crooks where Sage and Zac shared one of their first dates, making it a natural choice for the beginning of their wedding weekend. The space was transformed into a lively, intimate gathering that set the tone for the celebrations ahead.

Together, the weekend unfolded as a series of connected, joy-filled experiences—each designed to reflect Sage and Zac’s personalities while maintaining a cohesive visual and emotional thread throughout.
