Warning: This is a MEGA Post! Today I’m thrilled to share with you the results of the Atlanta Chapter of the National Association of Catering Executives annual contest, Event Design Trends. If you remember, last year we shared with you a cute brunch bridal shower, Nautical wedding setting, and A Wizard of OZ perfect party table we found at the 2011 Contest. This year Occasions was the media sponsor so we brought in the fabulous Laura Stone of Artstar Photography to capture the gorgeous settings and every little clever detail. If there’s one thing that I can guarantee an Atlanta bride or hostess… it’s that you’ll always have an abundance of creative and overly talented party professionals to choose from for your upcoming occasion. I’m not kidding you either. These people are no joke and some of the best in the business. So, I’ll stop gushing over my friends and dear clients and start sharing the goodness. Better get your pinning finger ready!
