As you may know earlier this month I assisted Project Runway alum Heidi Elnora exhibit her 2010 collection here in Atlanta. Ladies and Gents it was to DIE for!

Heidi decided to forego the traditional runway show for her preview and decided to pair a piece of art, gown and floral arrangement/vignette to showcase the new line. Also all fees collected that night went to the Make a Wish foundation for children. Heidi is the true definition of a southern belle.

Set in a modern art gallery, attendees were encouraged to move through the space, absorb the art and watch as live models showcases the new wedding dress designs. I am so excited Lindsay Mast from Sublime Photography has shared these images with us.

Don’t forget to RSVP.

TGIF! I am so excited today is Friday. Not only is it a gorgeous day but it is the start of a pretty amazing weekend. This will be the first time in three weeks that I will actually be at home in Atlanta. Here are the last images from David Murray Weddings from the Bridal Bar event. I stopped by Bridal Bar yesterday and we discussed all of the amazing events that are on schedule to come. This is just the beginning!

As I mentioned yesterday with the Smilebooth, photographers are now doing their own version of photo booths. David Murray Weddings do the Love Booth. Here are few pics from the love seat. Don’t forget to check out the slide show.

Disclaimer: If you see Mr. ellyB in the pics having a ball is because he was! He loves being in front of the camera.

Have a great weekend.

The smile booth is the brain child of photographers Our Labor of Love. It is a great fun alternative twist to the traditional photo booths that have emerged at events over the past few years. What I really love about the photo booth is that it can have custom backgrounds and your guests will be the one taking the pictures. That’s right, no longer waiting for the countdown, shoot and click as many times as you like. There are no time limits to how long the fun can last. The best way to get the most out of the smile booth is to just have fun. Be yourself, make fun of your self and the others in there with you. Custom backdrops created by dolci odille, they can do amazing things with paper!

Please don’t ask what I was doing or saying in the pic above!

TIP: A great way to remember all the fun is to make an album of all the images.

Whew I cannot believe I am up and about already! Yesterday was everything us Bridal Bar vendors hoped for and more. The food, decor and the PEOPLE were out of this world and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I did not have a camera with me but as of 1am pictures were already on facebook. I cannot wait to see the professional pictures from the six-seven photographers and magazines covering the event.

Thanks Layne from Sweet-n-sinful and Neal Howard for the pics.

We are so excited to announce that we have been hand picked to be apart of Bridal Bar Atlanta. You may remember my post a few months ago announcing that Bridal Bar was coming to town. Well its here!

ellyB Events Atlanta along with some other fabulous vendors in town are now apart of the Bridal Bar, where you can come in grab a glass of champagne with your girls and explore the different vendors at your disposal. Of course you can pick up many of the hottest magazines in town for additional inspiration.

Here are some pictures from David Murray Weddings of the space
The chandeliers are my favorite part! It just reminds me of a chic loft in Manhattan.
Stop by and give Rebecca and Jaimi a visit (pictured above). They will be sure to let you in on all the inside secrets for the best of the best in Atlanta Weddings and Events. Also stay tuned as we post all of the happening events taken place at Bridal Bar as well.

How could I forget to share these images posted on the Bridal Bar Blog a few weeks ago? So last month Barbie turned 50. Not only were guests able to view her Malibu pad, but Biz Bash threw the ultimate party in true Barbie fabulousness.

We get so excited and giddy when we learn of new resources happening in the area. If you are not familiar with the Bridal Bar, you are missing out on one of the best blogs in the industry.

Rebecca Hansmann shared with us all of the special things to come with Bridal Bar Atlanta, and let’s just say we are in for a treat. Here is more information from the press release:

About The Bridal Bar
The Bridal Bar was founded in Los Angeles in 2004 by previous bridal magazine editor, Harmony Walton. Built on the premise that every couple deserves their dream day but simply doesn’t know where to start; The Bridal Bar launched a boutique and website to showcase and preview the best of the best in the wedding industry and aid those in the daunting task of saying “I Do.” Atlanta marks the third boutique for the company, and the first of its kind in the South. The Bridal Bar has graced the pages of Grace Ormond Wedding Style, People, Us Weekly, InStyle Weddings, Town & Country Weddings, and countless others. The Bridal Bar seeks out the best, most unique vendors, products, concepts, locations, and so much more so that every bride who walks through the doors leaves an expert themselves. This original concept allows brides to preview and plan for their perfect event.
