Chelsea Floral Designs: Tejani Event

I posted a few weeks ago the Atlantan Brides sponsored Tejani jewelry event I attended at Geisha House. But I just had to share the professional photos to showcase the work of Chelsea Floral Designs, (a fellow StudioWed vendor). The team a Chelsea Floral truly outdid themselves at this event.

Running of the Brides

Filene's Basement Running of the Brides event takes place tomorrow, Friday, March 20th in Buckhead. Doors open at 8:00 a.m.

For those that may not know, this bridal sale is held once a year and offers designer gowns at unbelievable prices. Some brides arrive the day before to camp out to ensure they will be one of the first to get in. Once the doors open brides run in and typically in less than 60 seconds the racks are cleaned out.

I plan to join in the madness and will be handing out treats to the brides in line. Is anyone in the Atlanta area planning on going?
