NY Mag Wedding recap
This year was my third round of the NY Magazine Wedding Event, and it could possibly be the best one yet! More vendors, BETTER vendors, but space to walk around…all add up to a successful event. Here are some of my favorites from last night….
Yummy truffles from Taste Caterers….I loved the way they presented them.
Lots of gorgeous gowns as you walked in…
Mel Barlow talking to a bride on the left, Crave Catering display on the right. Veggies never looked so good!
Yummy mini milkshakes from Mary Giuliani Catering….
Karen Cunningham‘s completely coordinated table! That church shot is one of my favorites.
Happiness abounds at Jenny Ebert‘s table, designed by Barb at Hatch Creative. Those flowers were crazy cool.
Beautiful arrangement from the geniuses over at Takashimaya…so good to reconnect with my old middle school buddy Peter who is now their Creative Director!

The NotWedding
This spring, The NotWedding is back in Atlanta, and it’s going to be an even bigger party than before. On Sunday April 5th, talent from the likes of Our Labor of Love, Joy Thigpen, Ashley Baber, Jacob’s Reverie and many more will be filling W Atlanta Buckhead to create an unforgettable night for our guests.
So you may wonder- what exactly is The NotWedding?… Simply put, it’s a big, fake wedding that shows off some of the city’s most talented vendors in action. Guests can partake in a cocktail hour, an all-out ceremony full of surprises, and a reception that you’re sure to write home about.
Check out TheNotWedding.com for more information and to purchase your tickets to the event. Tickets are $25, and admission includes a gift bag {the first 100 receive a super-deluxe bag}… food, drinks and dancing… a raffle ticket… and quite possibly the most fun you’ll ever have.
I’m so beyond jealous that I can’t make this event…it just sounds so damn cool! But hey, I’ll be in Atlanta soon enough for a little vacay in May, hurray! Any recommendations of things to do down there would be much appreciated. 1st on the list, hitting the Aquarium!
