The glossy mag covers all types of social events in Atlanta and has an extensive venue guide as well.

Casting Call: Atlanta Brides

We were thrilled to learn that that TLC will be shooting a season of the popular show Say Yes to Dress at Atlanta's bridal empire Bridals By Lori. BBL is the largest bridal salon in America so its only fitting the show take a turn in the South. A Casting form can be found HERE if you are interested in looking for a gown and appearing on the show.We also know the casting director so feel free to e-mail us if you want us to submit your application. Many TOAST brides have gotten their gowns at Bridals By Lori and we highly recommend them to anyone searching for the perfect gown.

Wedding World Haiti Relief Promotions

*Update* The wedding world is all a twitter...other event pros are hopping on the bandwagon that Rebecca started. I'll be updating lists of Wedding Haiti Promos as they come in. We will all circle back on February 1st to see how much the wedding industry was able to contribute!!

Casa Ybel Resort on my beautiful hometown island is offering $50 towards relief for all weddings booked by February 1st. See the promo HERE.

Bridal Bar Atlanta owner Rebecca (who started this whole chain) will donate $20 to the Haiti Relief fund for every bride that stops in over the weekend. Additionally, any bride who books this weekend with a Bridal Bar vendor she will donate $20.

TOAST will donate $50 in your name to the Red Cross for everyone who sets up a consultation with us from now until the end of January, and will double it if you contract with us. ($100 raised as of 1/18/10)

Elly B Events will donate proceeds from all services for the rest of the year when booked!

Melissa Schollaert Photography will donate $50 to anyone who books a wedding by February 28

Turner Photography and Design Gift Card Friday, the day gift cards are normally 20% off. In addition, 50% of the sales will be donated to relief efforts in Haiti through FBC Jonesboro. 100% of any donations through FBCJ go directly to Haiti, with no admin costs. More...

To clarify: this is NOT about profiting from a tragedy.

Social media has made it so easy to communicate to the masses and several industry professionals felt compelled to help spread the word. Many wedding industry professionals have families affected by the Haiti Earthquake and any money we can raise to support the relief effort to our ultimate goal. TOAST has personally donated to the Red Cross and will continue to regardless of the promotion. If you choose to donate privately, we encourage you to visit any of the websites below.

Stacey and John 12-19-09

We had a ball helping Stacey and John plan their Christmastime wedding. Stacey was one of the kindest, easy-going bride’s we have ever seen, and she and John adore each other. The couple met at a December wedding just two years earlier and quickly fell in love. When it came time to plan their own wedding they decided it would be fitting to have a December wedding themselves. The formal southern affair featured the largest wedding party we have worked with, fabulous food and a whole lot of dancing. Stacey and John were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Atlanta, the very same church where her grandparents wed. A festive reception followed at The Capital City Club in downtown Atlanta where guests danced the night away to the sounds of Papa Sol. I’m not sure I have ever seen a Bride and Groom dance as much as they did. It was a magical night for a magical couple and we were so thrilled to be involved and make new friends. We wish Stacey and John (and Scout) all the best as they make their new home together in Birmingham! Below are some images captured by the amazing Laura Negri Photography.
