As we began to stuff swag bags for this weekend’s Inspired Bride event, it hit me just how many awesome sponsors we have and how generous they really are. It makes me wish that I was engaged, so I could have the chance to get in on these giveaways!

We are getting so close to Sunday, and we can’t wait! The event is going to be so much inspiration jam-packed into the Brickworks complex and StudioWed! Not only do we have fashion shows, food and cake tastings, a photo booth, and a bouquet shop planned, but these giveaways make this an event you can’t miss! Register here today!

Today’s Honeymoon Friday post is more of a tip than a deal, but just because there’s not an advertised special for these two St. Lucia resorts doesn’t mean you’re not getting bang for your buck. I asked LT Travel Connection for resorts where romanticism is paramount, and that’s what they delivered. Jade Mountain and Cap Maison are two resorts where exclusivity, relaxation, and the ever important honeymoon standard of romanticism take center stage.

Jade Mountain is the St. Lucia location that gave the backdrop to Jake & Vienna’s “The Bachelor” proposal, and while that relationship didn’t prove fruitful, the resort’s infinity pools, views, and luxurious accommodations make it an ideal honeymoon spot.

Cap Maison is yet another St. Lucia resort of villas and views that can’t be beat. It sits on 1500 acres of former sugar plantation and is flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.

If you are a hopeless romantic looking for the perfect honeymoon location, St. Lucia (and these two completely fabulous resorts) are a great option. LT Travel Connection can get you the best travel information, so contact them to get the St. Lucia hook-up today.

Our studio-hosted bridal events would be nothing without the help and generosity of our sponsors. Not only do they share their innovations with us, but they supply us with awesome products and services to give away to lucky attending brides. The Inspired Bride event, which is taking place this Sunday (!!), is no different. We are so thankful to our sponsors for supporting StudioWed and donating the following gifts for brides:

The Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation

Complimentary 2-night Stay

The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta

Overnight Stay & Breakfast at the Atlanta Grill

Sugarcoat

Manicure Party for Six

Swoozies

Monogrammed Tote Bags for Five Bridesmaids

These are just a few of the giveaways scheduled for Sunday’s Inspired Bride event at StudioWed! Check back tomorrow to see the rest of our giveaways revealed, and don’t forget to peek at our previous posts about OKA b.’s shoe giveaway and D. Muscio’s gift certificate toward a custom wedding band! Hope to see you Sunday at the Inspired Bride event!

It may be September, but the heat here in Atlanta is still unbearable. So when I saw photos of the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef & Morningstar Resort for today’s deal from LT Travel Connection, I couldn’t take  my eyes off of them! I could really use a nice coastal breeze, and as the East Coast gets slammed by Hurricane Earl, the US Virgin Islands are looking better than ever.

Not only do you get to travel to the US Virgin Islands (no passport needed for US citizens!) with today’s deal, but you automatically get $350 instant credit, and $50 certificates for shopping, attractions, and dining! And with room rates starting at $259, this couldn’t be a better offer! The deal is also available at other US Virgin Island resorts like the Hotel Caravelle in St. Croix, the Westin St. John Resort and Villas, Point Pleasant Resort in St. John, and many more.

Forced to pick a favorite (it’s a hard job, but somebody’s got to do it!), I selected the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef in St. Thomas for it’s gorgeous location and on-site attractions. Check it out:

Now, if only I could get LT Travel Connection to actually send me to these resorts for personal recommendations, I would have the perfect job!
