Loving these stationery suite from Ashley Brooke Designs. I am a big advocate of getting personal items for each bridesmaid that resonates with their personality. What better way to personalize by having a custom art design with a memo pads, calling cards, note cards with a matching mug!

We are always honored to work with Heather Vreeland from Atlanta Occasions. Each and every event is unique with great decor, food, drinks and people! Another reason why we love working with Heather is that she allows our creative juices to flow. She tells us she wants a party and we deliver!
The party was held at the lovely Ventanas and was a mix of Brides and elite Atlanta Wedding Pros.
One of the cool features about Ventanas is that they have a helipad. Brides and Grooms can use this as they enter or exit their reception.
Connie Duglin linens provided these amazing coral taffeta crinkle linen which matched the color of the wording on the Atlanta Occasion cover.
The always amazing Sharon from Sweet Sensations made the the cake to resemble the Atlanta skyline which turned out to be our theme for the night.
Perfect Petals did an amazing job with the floral arrangements!
Thank you for all the wonderful vendors that participated!

Today we bring you a great Etsy find – Wedding genealogy. Elana Dweck owner of Mélangerie Inc. sent us over some additional information on what Wedding Genealogy is and whey you need one!
Wedding genealogies are customized charts, similar to a family tree, that detail the relationships of the bride and groom to all of their wedding guests. Great for a cocktail hour or reception, these charts fill guests in on who’s a friend from childhood, a neighbor, a family member, and more. Couples can customize the chart best suited to the style and environment of their wedding, and keep the diagram afterwards as a unique piece of memorabilia.
What are your thoughts? Is this a keepsake you would like after the wedding is over? How would you incorporate it in your home?

Many years ago, brides would not think about wearing any other wedding gown but their Mother’s! Slowly that tradition changed into altering their gowns or using pieces of their gowns for creation of a new one. Now all elements of doing any of those things seem to be abolished.
I was completely taken back while viewing Ben Vigil’s latest slideshow from a recent wedding. Here was a modern stylish bride getting married to prince charming, in HER MOTHER’S GOWN! And it looked beautiful. Her pictures are now timeless and classic with an ode to her Mother (who Ben told me did the alterations for the beautiful bride).
The bride wore the gown through the ceremony and her formal portraits, but later changed into a funky reception dress complete with birdcage veil. It was the perfect conclusion
To see more images from this wedding please head over to Ben’s site. Here is the link for the slideshow.

We just love love wedding movies. There is always something to take away from these kind of movies. Whether it is humor about the big day, beautiful decor or just wonderful fashion, they are usually a must see.
Our Family Wedding does not look like they will disappoint. The movie is based upon the fusion of a Hispanic family with African American family. Since there are lot of funny men in this film we are sure it will be good times with a beautiful ending. Isn’t with America Ferrera’s gown just beautiful?
