A Wedding Weekend

The reason I have been MIA from my own blog lately is because on June 14, 2008 my dear older sister officially became Mrs. Ashley Bradford! The occasion was absolutely beautiful and full of joy and laughter. She could not have looked more stunning. Alan, now her husband, could not stop grinning from ear to ear. It was such a memorable experience for my entire family. Although she did not get married at Carl House, several of her vendors did have connections with Carl House.

The ceremony took place at Bethlehem First United Methodist Church, which is only 8-10 minutes away from Carl House. I personally know a bride who had her ceremony at Bethlehem FUMC and then held her reception here at Carl House. The two settings complement each other well and is a great option for brides who do not wish to have their ceremony and reception at the same location. Below is a snapshot of Ashley in front of the church:


Ashley's reception site, The Georgia Club, often receives references from Carl House and we receive references from them as well. Our Director of Sales, Faye Pressley, has worked very closely with The Georgia Club's Clubhouse Manager, Dawn Tibbles. Below is a picture of the wedding party at The Georgia Club's Wedding Pavilion and Event Lawn:

Ashley's florist, Nicole Bishop of Floral Environments, has also decorated the grounds and ballroom of Carl House for our brides. Pictured below is the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets that Nicole did for my sister's wedding:

Finally, I must give credit where credit is due with Ashley's photographer, Shannon Belletti. She did an amazing job (as you can see from the photos above) and made the whole experience so much fun! She has not photographed a wedding at Carl House yet, but it's inevitable that she will considering Carl House's popularity (The Knot Best of Weddings 2008 Pick!) and Shannon's popularity (voted Best Photographer in Atlanta by Myfoxatlanta.com Hot List).
