Time flies by so quickly – I cannot believe I got married over 4 months ago! I’m sure many of you saw (from my multiple Instagram posts), that our wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty! Style Me Pretty and Borrowed and Blue were my 2 main resources while planning my wedding. Style Me Pretty is the best wedding blog out there, so I utilized it for wedding theme inspiration and I leveraged Borrowed and Blue to find our wedding vendors. A husband and wife team started Borrowed and Blue. They went to Darden Business School at the University of Virginia, where my husband went. They may still reside in Charlottesville, so are well acquainted with local vendors.

Saturday night I had a girls night. My husband was out of town visiting friends in NYC so I had our place all to myself. When we moved to Atlanta I was worried about making new friends. Most of my friends are in the Virginia and the D.C. area. Jeremy is lucky because a lot of his friends from business school moved to Atlanta. I love all his friends but they are mostly guys. I need girl time sometimes. Luckily I’ve met so many great girls here. I have a great group of girls at work and I’ve met some others through a few degrees of separation. It was fun to relax on Saturday, drink wine and get to know one another better.
On Friday I went to a Tacori event at D. Geller & Son, one of the South’s longest standing diamond and fine jewelry companies. D. Geller & Son is a family owned and operated business and the Geller family represents 14 generations and over 1,100 years in the jewelry industry. Tacori sent their newest line of jewelry, never seen by the public, to D. Geller & Son. My engagement band is from Tacori and I love it. The “Tacori Summer Sparkle” event was so cute. A bunch of local Atlanta fashion bloggers attended the event. D. Geller & Son had all the new Tacori jewelry out to try on and take photos with. They had a champagne bar, chocolate bar and hors d’oeuvres.
Happy Memorial Day! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! I spent the first half of the weekend back home in Virginia and the second half of the weekend in Atlanta. On Friday my Mom and I went to Georgetown, D.C. for my second bridal fitting at Hitched! Any ladies shopping in the D.C. area for wedding dresses, I highly recommend going to Hitched (obviously I’m a little biased) and Lovely Bride. Both bridal salons are located in Georgetown and are within walking distance of one another. After my bridal fitting, my Mom and I went shopping for accessories to go with my wedding dress.
