Crevolyn's on the radio!

Because she is too modest to brag on herself, I (Emily) am going to brag on my fabulous mother. Not only is she the most creative, caring, dedicated, considerate, hard working, amazing woman I know, she has added yet another talent to her resume. She is bringing the "What's For Supper?" segment every day to the George & BJ show!!!!!!!! Every day Monday through Friday around 4:45, you can listen to Crevolyn on WDUN AM 550! The segment is sponsored by the most remarkable grocery store around, J & J Foods. Crevolyn shares some of her famous recipes that I personally grew up on and LOVE! You don't want to miss this!

Sharing Some Pics of the Brasstown Bridal Show!

Just wanted to share a few pictures from the Brasstown Valley Resort Bridal Show on Sunday! We had a great time and enjoyed meeting some really nice people! Our Eco-Green Design Gallery turned out quite nice. Many thanks to Mary and her amazing floral work and to Emily and her incredible attention to details. You two are amazing!


Here is an overall look at the table.

Is this arrangment just not stunning?


Artichokes worked great as place card holders. And moss under the chargers at each place setting really made them pop!

We created this display on a side table to showcase several additional elements of the gallery. The escort cards were slid into grass and surrounded by rocks. And speaking of rocks, the "guest book" to complement this eco-friendly theme was really cool. Guests could write their names and best wishes on the rocks and then place them in the tall vase. A "donation" was made in honor of the guests to the Bride and Groom's favorite charity.

The Bridal bouquet was stunning! This photo does not do it justice. It was much prettier in person.

The tall vase was filled with orchids - gorgeous - with tea lights hanging from the stems.

You can see a little of the table detail here. Moss, mirrors and candles were all on the table top. At each place setting, guests are greeted with their place card in the artichoke, their menu card tucked inside their napkin and a signature drink for the event - a pear martini. See the little pear in the martini glass?

I've just got to give a shout out to Sherri at Soirres Southern Events. She is amazing and we adore working with her! We really enjoyed working with the other vendors too! So much fun to create!

Brasstown Valley Bridal Show This Sunday!

At lunch time today, Emily and I met up to do yet more preparations for this weekend’s Bridal Show at Brasstown Valley Resort. Honestly, we’ve done Bridal Shows long enough now that we’ve got that part down to a fine science. We know what to take and how to arrange it. However, this show is a tad more complicated for us. In addition to our traditional booth, we are presenting a Design Gallery and couldn’t be more thrilled! We absolutely love this kind of thing!

This is just a glimpse of our work space today in our home office. A typical work day for Wonderful Events: a diet Coke from Panera Bread, lots of papers, two red laptops, two iphones, and . . . an artichoke and some pears? Explanation to follow.

Here’s the deal: This Bridal Show will showcase four wedding vignettes each with a different theme: Blues Gallery; Sherbet Gallery; Vineyard Gallery and our personal choice, the Eco-Green Design Gallery. Each of these will include bridesmaids dresses, wedding cakes, and (this is where we come in) tabletop display complete with centerpiece, individual place settings, sample invitation, menu cards and place cards and favors. In this gallery, we will obviously be using lots of natural, repurposed, and environmentally friendly items – like branches, potted orchids, grasses, moss, artichokes, rocks, and recycled papers for the invitations, place cards, escort cards, and menu cards, in addition to some other neat stuff. We will also display a bridal bouquet and super cool guest book idea.

So if you are thinking about a Sunday drive (it’s supposed to be sunny) head on up to the mountains to Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris. We’d love to see you!
