When it comes to the Something Old Something New event, we have a definite style in mind: vintage chic. This style plays into the overall look and feel of the Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation. While it’s exposed wood and antique-style decor might read masculine, we want to play up the elegant and romantic vibe of the space.

Here is inspiration board #2 from Project Duo Photography’s shoot at the Lodge. How adorable is this couple? Let me know in the comments which inspiration board you prefer: today’s romantic portraits or yesterday’s lakeside table design.

There is definitely a special feeling in the air at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation. You’re immediately greeted at the door by men wearing their pant hem at the knee with a peek of argyle sock showing. They open the huge wooden doors and you’re shown a wall full of windows overlooking Lake Oconee, the well-manicured lawns, and the unique amenities sprawled throughout the 35 acres of shoreline. Quite simply, you’re taken back in time and feel like falling in love.

Those are just a few reasons we have partnered with the Lodge for the November 7 Something Old Something New event. We enlisted our favorite photography team, Project Duo Photography, to capture the reasons that just can’t be explained.

I can’t wait to show you the other fabulous inspiration boards with even more of the Ritz-Carlton Lodge to fall in love with. Join us on November 7 to see this location up close and personal! Tickets and information on joining us for the weekend are available on the event website: http://somethingoldnew.eventbrite.com/.

To work in the wedding business, you have to seriously love all things weddings: stationery, flowers, dresses, food, table linens, photography, decor…everything! So to be at the Inspired Bride event on September 12 was like being a kid in a candy store for me.

Everywhere you looked there were flowers, food, dresses, and stationery, and don’t even get me started on the inspiration overload that was the design gallery! It was so over-the-top that it will get its own special post. If you weren’t able to make it to the event, here are my favorite pictures from our 2nd Annual Inspired Bride event. You can still get in on the innovative inspirations!

The Floral Market

Our three florists, Aesthetic Floral and Event Artistry, Le Jardin Francais, and The Savage Garden, put together their favorite blooms to help guests pinpoint their floral style.

The Fashion Shows

Everyone knows that a bride’s favorite planning pastime is picking out her dress. Our fashion show featured day and night looks for both the bride and her attendants. A big thanks to Etain Bridal Boutique for helping us select gowns for our brides’ viewing pleasure.

The Food

Endive brought plenty of their signature dishes with them, including strawberry salad with poppy seed vinaigrette and crispy tacos. But they also brought along a shrimp and grits bar this time–so good! Round that out with a s’mores station from Peachy Treats, a gelato cart from Dreamy Gelato, pastries from Tasty Pastry, and cupcakes from Sweet Sensations, and this party was definitely not lacking in the food department!

The Inspiration and The Fun

Brides were able to browse our design studio, mingle with vendors and other brides, enjoy live entertainment from Livin’ Large and Lethal Rhythms, and win giveaways from our awesome event sponsors. Is it too early to start getting excited about next year’s Inspired Bride?

Our vendors work so incredibly hard preparing for and working at these events, and I am so thankful for everything they do. A big thank you to our brides, too! We love being inspired by you and hope you got a bit of inspiration from this event, too!

Thank you thank you thank you to Andrea Taylor Studio and Rae Leytham Photography for the photos!
