Thanks Brittney - btw, your Yorkies are too cute :-) Feb. would be ideal for me (my bday is in January and not sure if I can squeeze much extra into that month).

I just checked out his site and his work is awesome.

Let me know if you are interested, and I will contact David to see if that would work for him. (I am not sure how you would feel about a man shooting the BD pics. His wife will be there too.) That sounds like a plan. I will search for his website. I am browsing a few options. Do you know which month/date you plan to take yours? I never knew that the BD pics would be such a "process" in itself BTW, the hubby/wife team doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother them.

Are there any recommendations for BD vendors in Atlanta? My wedding is in May and I'd like to surprise my FI with a nice and sexy gift on our wedding day!

This is such a great idea, and my wedding day is Sunday, May 25, 2008.

Currently I have a count of 149... but many people (including myself) haven't decided on a number yet. So, if you are interested and haven't responded to this post yet let me know! I will remind everyone in January who responds to get their official numbers together and their colors. Sound good? Oh, and Georgiabeauty, when is your wedding date

***SIDENOTE*** Galit I saw your wedding ticker and noticed that we are marrying on the same day - 5 months, 2 weeks and 1 more day baby!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Yes, it is the same place. I hear that he did not use their "main" site for his reception...but was on locale at the property. We are having a small ceremony/reception in one of their many rooms. It is a beautiful place. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you to all of the ladies for such a warm welcome Quote: Originally Posted by JABride to the forum !!!

Are you only able to buy the lipbalmexpress in quantities of 100? I need approx. 70....HELP please!!!

Thank you for the warm welcome ladies - I love it here already :-) DBell - I'm already addicted FoxyTV - my FI is from Fayetteville, NC - I love the Carolinas' !!!!!!!!!!!! ETA: I also considered having our wedding in Hilton Head, SC at a B&B as this is where most of my family lives but decided to stay in GA. The south has so many pretty venues. BTW, my name is Erica and my FI is Mandrell :-)

Which ceremony and reception location did you choose? Your info will be helpful. Glad to have you here! Our ceremony will be on the Matisse Lawn and the reception in the Bordeaux Room with a cocktail hour on the balcony of the Winery. It is a great place and I love the staff there...my WC, Daniella, is the best. Best of luck to you and your FI as you narrow down choices!!

How about Candles by Wax Wizard, a full line of candles, bridal accessories, party favors, centerpieces - they have a great assortment of candles. I found this site from a knottie who used the "perfect pair" theme. I will use green apples for decor ideas at my ceremony and will get my candles from this site for the variety options - not sure if the site is the best price..

I have been considering this idea too but think I will end up the the cookie buffet (FI and I shared a HUGE choco-chip cookie after our 2nd date :-) I have found this site to have a good stock of candies, peanuts, etc. in bulk - Economy Candy Homepage: Return

Thanks for the warm welcome Christine, BeachBride and MoBride!! Christine the place is awesome - we will be married on our 2 year engagement anniversary. I have a planning journal on another wonderful site and hope to post to both sites. I love the C.E. ambience - as soon as I can figure things out over here I will post some of my ideas.

Hello! What a great site this has proven to be. I am a May '08 bride - not quite planning a destination wedding on an island, but we will marry at a resort in North Georgia at Chateau Elan. I look forward to meeting you all!! GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!
