Rooftop Glamor for Shelby & Josh at Tesserae

Perched high above Buckhead with the glittering Atlanta skyline as their backdrop, Shelby and Josh exchanged vows in a celebration both vibrant and intimate.

For their wedding, the couple envisioned a non-traditional celebration exuding romance and glamor. Shelby and Josh found their perfect venue in Tesserae, the upscale restaurant and lounge located atop the Thompson Atlanta-Buckhead. Its moody, retro-glam aesthetic and breathtaking views set the tone for an unforgettable day.

The terrace ceremony featured the city skyline as a striking backdrop. Shelby and Josh’s rich color palette — deep plum, blush, burgundy, white and green — added warmth and sophistication, complemented by glowing Viva Sand Candles and timeless black-and-white accents. Afterward, guests enjoyed custom cocktails, cascading estate tables and music in Tesserae’s sultry interior. The night ended with a dance floor under the stars, where Tesserae’s floor-to-ceiling glass doors connected the venue’s indoor luxury with outdoor charm.

Every detail was carefully curated to evoke old Hollywood elegance with a modern twist. From the ambiance to the decor, Shelby and Josh’s wedding reflected not only their impeccable style but also their meant-to-be connection. Crediting their talented vendor team and the stunning venue for bringing their vision to life, the bride shared, “It was everything we hoped for — intimate, glamorous and romantic.”

As the city lights sparkled around them, Shelby and Josh celebrated their new chapter — surrounded by love, laughter and the unforgettable magic of Atlanta.
