Some big checkmarks are about to come down the pipe.  This weekend I head to Atlanta for meetings with my event planner.  We are heading to prospective caterers, decor houses, and day after brunch spots. 

I’m very excited to see the South City Kitchen in Midtown.  The best thing?  It’s within walking distance of my venue.  The brunch menu looks amazing!

Very excited today to announce that I have booked the venue for my Welcome Party — the 755 Club in Turner Field!

We are doing a welcome party rather than a traditional rehearsal dinner due to the small size of my event and the fact that we have no local guests.  And we are both Atlanta Braves fans from birth so it was only natural that we have a part of the vow renewal incorporating one of our favorite things. 

I am so happy (and glad to have another thing off of my to-do list) and I have SO many ideas brewing already!  Any good baseball decor inspiration for me?

PS - I’m also very close to choosing a photographer… but I’m not spilling who yet!  It’s a surprise.

I simply adore this space just outside of Atlanta for a destination affair!  Barnsley Gardens Resort is an excellent option for those that want a true all-in-one experience. Not only do they have gorgeous gardens and Civil War ruins but also an excellent hotel, spa, golf courses, and amazing dining!

Natalie from the I Heart Peonies blog (I really love her blog by the way, you should be reading it) posted relatively recently about how she hearts English countryside weddings.  When I saw her post it reminded me of a photographer based in Atlanta that I had been researching, Thomas Fahey. 

His magazine work is exquisite and he has a spread on the English countryside theme on his Southeastern Weddings website that I thought I’d share here.  Here are a few of the images, all courtesy of Thomas Fahey:

This spread just makes me smile with wonder.  The last picture is exactly the feel I want from my own vow renewal!

A flurry of little posts tonight everyone!  I *have* to post about these cupcakes, which would make perfect wedding favors for our Atlanta to-be-weds!  Jamie Fahey and her partner have opened the Atlanta Cupcake Factory and I am in love!

Cupcakes have been all the rage since Sex and the City popularized Magnolia Bakery in NYC and now Atlanta has their own cupcake institution.  Their menu includes flavors such as Chocolate Bailey’s, pumpkin pie, and banana ganache.  If these pictures don’t make you hungry I don’t know what will!
