We said YES to the bridesmaids’ dresses! The bridesmaids dress experience was much easier than I thought it would be. With the many different personalities and style preferences in the group, I thought it would be difficult process to find a dress(es) for all the girls. Two of my friends came into town from Virginia…
“Come and put your name on it” ok, ok…not that kind of cake. Cake as in wedding cakes! Cake tastings were another one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. We went to three cake tastings even though I was offered a free wedding cake from La’meeka’s. Why not taste free cakes? But at the end…

7 months until the BIG day!!!! So, we finally decided to send out our Save the Dates to our family and friends. Since most of our guests are from out of town, we wanted to get them out in a timely fashion. The wedding rules say you should send your Save the Dates out at…
Bridal Shows are events where you can check out the wedding vendors in your area and also win free stuff. My day 1’s, my ride or die’s Talisha (maid of honor) and Tamara (matron of honor) have been by my side for every bridal show. They are pretty fun and you get free food, cake, photos…

I knew I wanted to incorporate our favorite teams into our photoshoot. At first, I was going to order shirts and put save the date of the back with our 09/12, but that’s so boring and everybody does that. I knew I wanted something different so I searched through my favorite website Etsy and found…
Since it was fall, we decided to take our photos in Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta amongst the leaves and beautiful scenery. Our photographer was Bri McDaniel and she will also be our photographer for our wedding. She is the absolute best and I highly recommend her. One of my friends has already booked her for…
Punta Cana was the trip of a lifetime. I will truly cherish the memories that were made on this trip. Dune bugging, walks on the beach, laughter and family. BEST TIME EVER. The 9 months of planning and stress were all worth it! It was also a very nice break from wedding planning! 🙂
Our favorite part of wedding planning: FOOD TASTINGS! Our venue has preferred caterers and if you don’t use them, you have to pay an extra $1,000 to bring in an outside caterer. So, we decided to stick with the preferred caterer. They had a list of about 10 caterers. We decided to go with three of them…
