Brooke + Logan | May 15, 2009

Girls, let this be a lesson...When we say we want photos of you, we really, really, really mean it.... We were about to start stalking Brooke with emails requesting photos when she sent these our way...We smiled all. day. long. when we saw them....Just look at Logan...how could you NOT smile ear to ear??? (sigh)

Photos by the uber-talented Meggie Velasco....loving her style! Gown (with customs!) by the always spot-on Augusta Jones....

(This is when Logan saw Brooke for the first time. We love this guy!)

(This photo was actually taken by Brooke's brother....love it!)

We could go on and on and on about Brooke and her super sweet mother....there is such a sweetness and goodness of spirit that we can not capture in words. And truly, truly - do you know people who are absolutely stunningly beautiful on the outside, but have no clue? So that makes them all the more gorgeous? That's Brooke. She was so kind to us, so sweet, so thankful, so genuine.....Honestly, it was an absolute blessing to be a part of this super sweet day....

Brooke, a million hugs from miles away....Please don't be a stranger....we looooved your enthusiasm, your incredibly authentic spirit, your selflessness....a real, true pleasure working with you...Happy married life to you, doll!!!!

Thank you, The Knot!!!

What a fun lunch we had today!!! The Knot, the leading wedding planning and resource site on the web, hosted a fabulous lunch 'n learn today at Nashville hot spot Cabana.... and it was absolutely delightful!!!

Sweet friends (new and old) from all around Nashville were there, and Cabana provided some truly delicious food!!! Heard some fascinating, interesting, pertinent data about YOU - the brides planning and executing the most fabulous weddings ever......

Check out The Knot for inspiration, ideas, Real Weddings, and of course, all the resources you could ever want. We are so proud to be a part of a community of industry leaders and associated with professionals who are innovative, progressive, and truly the best of the best!

To the gals at The Knot....thank you for the hospitality (and too-cute goodie bags!!)!!

New Girls in Town

So why did being the new kid get such a bad rap? You know what we mean? Like being the new kid at school or on the team or whatever.....

Well we're here making our best effort to take away all the weird connotations associated with being the new girl...trying to fit in...finding a place....Here's hoping these (new!) oh so lovely Priscilla of Boston gowns make you smile....it took us NO time to get acquainted and bring them right into our little family of gorgeous gowns :)

Priscilla of Boston style 4312 - the detail on this one shoulder gown is exquisite....coupled with the dropped waist and pockets, you'll be making a statement that is both classic and very, very modern.

Priscilla of Boston Style 4310 - you really must see this in person....the combination of the soft, soft silk organza and the chunky crystal trim is genius design....an amazing shape and fabulous neckline!

Priscilla of Boston style 4309 - amazing waist line and full skirt....gorgeous crystal detail at the center and pleating from waist that slimming, chic, and totally classic!

Can't wait for you to see them too!!!! :)
