Bachelorette Ides: Watson Adventures

If strippers aren't your thing, and you've got a large group interested in attending your Bachelorette Party, I think that Watson Adventures might be a really fun idea. It's a scavenger hunt that can be located throughout Atlanta (The History Center, Fernbank Museum, the Aquarium, and many more).

You can do a walking tour or a limo tour or so much more! The cost is a bit much (probably close to about $1500) but if you get a big enough group together, it could be a ton of fun!

Mid-Planning Minute: Leah & Christian!

So as you saw earlier this month, I met with Leah and Christian at Eileen Carter's home to do an amazing cake tasting. I just wanted to post quickly and just tell you all how excited I am about their wedding. They're such a sweet couple, and they're using some of the best vendors Atlanta has to offer. Here's a pic of the happy couple taken by the superb photographer, Shannon Wright. Their church is gorgeous, their catering hall is going to be fabulous, they're working with an amazing florist, Heather at Stems Atlanta, and they've got SO many other greats! I can't wait!

A Unique Twist: The Not Wedding

I'm really looking forward to this weekend! I've got plans to go to The Not Wedding at Opera on Sunday afternoon. Some of the best and most creative vendors will be hosting a mock wedding to show potential brides (and the occasional vendor;) ) ideas for hosting a wedding outside of the box.

The cost is $10 either online, or cash at the door and includes some hors d'oeuvres, specials offered by the various vendors, the entertainment, and a fresh look on a timeless tradition!

Some vendors include Joshua John's Cakes, Brown Linen Goods, Event Drapery, DJ Josh Whitlock, and so many more!

I can't wait! It's going to be a ton of fun, and I get to go with the hottest date out there, Shannon Wright!

The Cake Lady!

I'm so excited to post about my first tasting with Eileen Carter, aka "The Cake Lady." We met where she works her magic! People always wonder, "What happens at meetings with vendors?" So here's your inside scoop on the meeting with the baker!
When we arrived, it was first and foremost important that we look through albums of past cakes to pick the design. Leah and Christian decided to go with a petal design which is so new and exciting!
From there, Eileen actually put together styrofoam cakes so they could visualize which one they liked best. It was so cool!
Then it was time to try the cakes flavors. We got to try so many, and the bride and groom had fun coming up with different combinations for each layer.
The best part, Eileen is creating a stadium for the Groom's cake. She's quite excited about this one, and I can't wait to see it!
Oh- and she's blogging now, check out Eileen's Blog.
