Venue Spotlight: Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Photos above from Atlanta Botanical Garden

If you are searching for a wedding venue definitely consider the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I had the opportunity to do a tour, and not only do they have beautiful gardens to get married in, but they also have stunning indoor spaces as well.

Photos below are from me

Sara, Kim, Robyn and all the staff at the garden are so warm and inviting, I cannot wait to have the chance to do a wedding there!

Princess Pledge

A reader asked me to post the Princess Pledge from my daughter's princess tea party. So here you go!

Lovely Princesses all are we
In Princess gowns having Princess Tea
We have a gift that's precious and true
It is inside all of you
We are kind and gentle
As only a Princess can be
And we give to others royally
So where ever we are
Where ever we may be
Playing outside, climbing a tree
Lovely Princesses all are we
It's what's inside you and me

This Princess Pledge is from the Cranky Princess. Check them out if you're looking for a wonderful tea party for your little princess.

Sunday afternoon I attended 'A Bride For All Seasons' at the Four Seasons Atlanta, with a few of my brides. The event was full of gorgeous wedding table displays and I wanted to share a few of my favorites.

First up, Le Jardin Francais who showcased a fresh green and white palette. This is the wedding cake display

Today is a very special today as America prepares for the inauguration of our 44th President, Barack Obama. My grandfather is attending with my mother and I know this is a day he probably never thought he would see in his lifetime. Today is a day we can all be proud to be called American!

Southern Weddings Launch

I had a wonderful time last night at the Southern Weddings launch party. It was so great to finally be able to meet the Southern Weddings team in person.
Dogwood Restaurant was the perfect location for the party and their biscuits are to do for!
