You’ve seen what our florists can do with a sprig of this, or a bloom of that… and don’t think our bragging has stopped (they make mojo out of our mess here at the studio!). But just this once, we’ve got the chance to show off some bodacious blooms in their natural habitat, in one of Atlanta’s most beautiful and treasured green spaces. A private tour, for your very own enjoyment …and perhaps, for your wedding?

StudioWed is proud to announce that The Atlantan Botanical Gardens are a featured stop on the Southern Charms Venue Tour taking place Sunday, April 1st. This day includes a chauffeured trip through the city, stopping at some of the quaintest indoor/outdoor venues that Atlanta has to offer.

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is one we’re excited about, because if you ever drive around the city, you know that “the bulbs are coming!” That means, a robust dose of every color of the rainbow via tulip bloom douses the gardens from start the finish. You’ve never seen spring like this!

Want a closer look? Come stroll through the gardens with us on Sunday, April 1st. Tickets are on sale now at www.studiowedvenue.eventbrite.com. Can’t wait to see you there!

Ahhh, springtime. Bright bursts of color dotting the lawn, lush green grass sparkling with sunshine and warm breezes blowing away the winter woes… Oh, and the pollen :) Lucky for us Georgia dwellers, this all-time high of yellow powder means an early start to spring and a cleaner atmosphere come wedding season!

It also means the best year ever to have an outdoor wedding. Our own Cator Woolford Gardens offers a tucked-away celebration surrounded by lush landscape and delicately pruned flora that just about seals the deal with a tented dance floor and an au naturale photo backdrop.

Want a closer look? Cator Woolford Gardens is one of the featured spots on our tour across the city at the Southern Charms Venue Tours on April 1st. A full day of a chauffeured view of the city, cocktails in hand (and declioius light bites in the other), private tours and insight are just the beginning to a day that ends with the venue of your dreams signed, sealed and BOOKED!

The traditional bride is imagined to have on a glorious, white, floor length ball gown – Cinderella in all her glory. But what about those brides that imagine themselves in something a bit, well, shorter? We have found a gown that gives you the best of both worlds!

In her newest Fall 2012 collection, she showcased a beautiful short dress with a long, sheer overlay. No need to choose between a long and short dress!Plus, you get to show off you fantastic bridal shoes!

The dress details make it even more fun. The overlay is splashed with little polka dots and covers the entire gown. It even comes up to give the dress a sheer, one-shoulder detail. The natural waist detailing will give you the perfect hourglass figure with some added bling. Simple, breezy and easy!
