{Sketch my Dress}

I recently came across a website that I found very interesting. With 3 girls of my own, I never imagined either of them wearing my wedding gown. I found a better use for it in my boutique.

The site I found was the perfect alternative to hanging your gown "on the wall."

A designer will actually sketch your dress for you!

Introducing....

Dreamlines

They were featured in the Spring 2009 issue of InStyle Wedding Magazine

Dreamlines' illustrator, Penelope-Anne Altmann, uses the photos that you submit to her to create a unique framed illustration that you will treasure forever.

I wish I knew about her 10 years ago..Maybe I'll use her for my 16th Wedding Anniversary Celebration!!

{Satura & Paul ~ Four Seasons Hotel}

On June 20th of this year I was hired to coordinate the wedding of... Paul and Satura.

Their wedding took place at the Four Seasons ~ Downtown Atlanta location. I was initially hired by the mother of the bride and I instantly feel in love the the family.

Satura is a JAG {U.S. Air Force Attorney} [soooo cool] and we met 2 weeks prior to the wedding. Her wedding was planned totally via email. I think we did a great job!!

Here are a few photos from the wedding.

Enjoy!

Thanks Virginia of Moment by Moment Photography for the some of the photos!
