Whether you choose to let your new beau toss your garter to the wolves-err, single men-or not, there’s something sultry and romantic about donning this fun accessory.

And with one that’s delicately detailed and tailored with the skill and style of La Gartier, there’s really no question about it. Every garter she designs is custom to the bride, her personality and her love story. And no matter what, every single one is luxe, lacy and 100% made by hand.

Want to get your legs into one of these? Well, it’s your lucky-in-love day – La Gartier is one of our featured sponsors inside the Celebrity-style Gifting Suite (sponsored by Pottery Barn) at The Inspired Bride this year.

That means, every bride who registers for the event has the chance to stash one of these fabulous intimates in their bag. Make sure you’re registered at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com for the chance to walk the red carpet to goodies!

It’s no secret your feet hurt. In fact, wherever you’re reading this, right now, I am willing to bet your feet are aching in your heels, or you’re giving them some much-needed TLC because you just flung them off as soon as you walked in the door at home. Either way, flats are your freedom, no matter when or why you wear them.

It’s a girl thing.

But, here’s another liberating fact. Tieks by Gavrieli designs really, really fashionable flats that you’ll not only want to wear, but you’ll want to wear out in public, with shorts. That means, they’re cute and comfortable enough to also sport under your wedding gown, whether to soft-foot down the aisle or get serious for the dance floor. Or, maybe you need something small and packable to get you through the honeymoon with nothing more than a carry-on. We wouldn’t judge.

Either way, these flats are fab, and they’re worth every single penny. Check out the full line of inventory here and see them up close and personal at this year’s Inspired Bride event on Sunday, September 8th at W Hotel Midtown. Sign up now at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com

Happy walking!

Okay, so bottom line is that it is finally hot. And of course, good ole Atlanta weather doesn’t gently welcome us into spring – it straight up makes us sweat or shiver, one day to the next.

But one good (GREAT) thing about the new, hot season? Seeing the new, hot trend take over our StudioWed window display.

Why this important to you, the brides? It’s a perfect place to start gathering inspiration for your own celebration that’s months away, or already planned for next year (congrats to those of you just engaged!).

The ladies withIt Takes Two Events (our cute, pocket-sized planning sisters) spearheaded a fresh take on bright colors and bold patterns perfect for either an indoor or outdoor fete. Event Drapery framed the shot in creamy Ivory Satin drape, while We Rent Atlanta delivered crisp, Crystal Flex Chairs to baseline the minimal, modern design.

Blossoms Atlanta crafted pops of floral accents, complete with beloved moss and crystal mosh-ups. Hi Note impressed again with wooden cut-out menu cards and fun escort cards, plus the stationery suite is something that stops everyone at the door.

Sugar Style Events dotted the tablescape with colored sticks of Rock Candy (throw back!) and white chocolate lollipops, polishing off the clean look of Nuage Designs linens with something mouth-watering.

One thing I absolutely HAVE to brag on is the artistic flair of Charlotte Ryerse – one of the associates at It Takes Two Events. This chick whips out markers and sketches out things that dreams are made of – In fact, they are so cool looking (and she is just SO talented) that the team ended up included her sketches in the overall display. Swing by and see what it’s all about.

Just in time for summer this new sweetheart table, Destination Chic, would be perfect for any destination wedding! La Fete out did themselves with this beach inspired tablescape. It is a combination of the natural look of the seashore and trendy corals and turquoise. The table is accented with a few simple shells and starfish to compliment the wooden chairs, candles and tableware. This look will fit right in with the sparkling white sand!

The stationary is provided by Papered Wonders. Inc., rentals by We Rent Atlanta and linens by Connie Duglin Specialty Linen.

Tassels and lanterns and candles, oh my! A Big To Do Event went above and beyond designing this Moroccan-inspired sweetheart table. If you are looking for something beautiful and unique than this is the table for you. The bold jewel tones and flower buds add a touch of romance to this candlelight dinner.

The gold chairs are provided by We Rent Atlanta and stunning linens by Connie Duglin Specialty Linen.

It feels like summer in this southern garden. The Funky Shack Art Studio takes all the credit for this picturesque tablescape. Any bride would be in bliss surrounded by these seasonal Lenten Roses and antique lace and burlap linens.  With rustic silverware, white teacup candles, and old country novels, this scene brings you back home.

I am so proud of this team of vendors – for creativity, for fresh ideas and for pulling off a design scheme just DAYS before one of it’s leaders tied her own knot.

Special thanks to Gregg Willett Photography for capturing these beautiful scenes.

Make sure to stop in and browse the bauble – And book them while they’re hot :)

Hello Readers!

I am excited to share two things this morning. One – a shout out to one of our favorite wedding vendors in the city – Event Drapery!!! And two – a showcase of the talent that exists on the StudioWed team here in Atlanta. Thanks Maggie, for guest blogging!

Nothing has the ability to set the mood for an event quite like that of a beautiful surrounding environment.  Luckily, that’s exactly what Event Drapery is known for!  With their extensive drapery selection, high quality product and impeccable customer service (these guys are actually really fun to hang out with!), we are constantly impressed by their work. And, of course, we’re proud to  have such an innovative vendor as part of our StudioWed team.

In fact, this season they’ve introduced a brand-new inventory of Black and White Stripe Satin.  Timeless, elegant and swinging towards preppy or formal, you can’t go wrong with this classic pattern. Event Drapery does a phenomenal job conveying the colors in a new and modern way.

You can check out more fun from the event at their website Event Drapery, Inc but here’s a sneak peek below!
