As soon as I saw these engagement session photos taken at the Gwinnett County Fair by Jamie Howell Photography, I knew I had to post them on the blog. One of my earliest memories is of going to the county fair every fall, and my boyfriend and I had our first “I love you” exchange after our first trip to the fair together almost a year ago. Needless to say, when I saw Kara + Trey’s engagement photos from the fair, I fell in love all over again! The colors, the fun, the excitement…I couldn’t wait to share them with you!

I love it when couples think of creative engagement sessions and really make it their own. Head over to Jamie’s blog to see the rest of these very cool photos!

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.
