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!

Romona Keveza Style RK293 – Romona Keveza is a world famous designer who is known for her skill and the sheer beauty of her designs. 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!

Shrugs are making a fashion comeback and the world of wedding gowns is no exception. We’ve seen them in so many styles in fashion shows from lace to tulle and even feathers! This week we found a fabulous dress that fits the trend, but still have timeless beauty.

Alvina Valenta, Style AV9200 – This gorgeous silk satin organza mermaid gown hugs you in all the right places. The gown is asymmetrically draped with a strapless bodice. The shrug is removable, but adds beautiful detail that isn’t overbearing. The ruffles of the shrug add elegance to the softly tucked detail and the bottom of the dress, while tuxedo buttons down the back add another facet of interest. Elegant, fashion forward and sure to make any girl feel like a bride!

To try on this beautiful creation, visit La Raine’s Bridal Boutique in the Highlands area of Atlanta, GA. That’s even where Jenni, our studio manager, got her wedding dress! Who knows, maybe you’ll even be Bride of the Month!
