A Rustic Happily Ever After

The creative bride in you wants to personalize and make your wedding uniquely yours. From adding crafty touches to creating a rustic feel, you are looking for a blank canvas, but also a dazzling locale.

Nestled within the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia resides the natural beauty of Juliette Chapel.

This gorgeous chapel, surrounded by aging woodlands, turns every wedding into a woodsy locale that makes your earthy wedding dreams come true.

Surrounded by Nature
Located in Dahlonega, Georgia, this bucolic chapel is the perfect getaway for an intimate wedding. Along with the chapel, this location also has a reception building, patio area, bride's dressing room, caterer's kitchen, and can accommodate up to 70 guests–they even supply the tables and chairs.

The chapel itself is a sight to behold. The surrounding woods become a backdrop seen from large framed windows. You get the beauty of an outdoor venue with the security of an indoor ceremony–the best of both worlds.

If you really want to be immersed in nature, you’ll find a scenic patio that allows you to hold your ceremony or reception outdoors. Hear the birds sing and feel the sun touch your face as you exchange vows.

An Arcadian Reception
If you want to transition the nature theme of your ceremony into your reception, there is no need to look elsewhere. Start the party in the reception building that holds the chapel’s same rustic charm.

With wooden floors and glass doors, the picturesque woodlands serve as scenery for your reception as well. The beauty of this location is decor enough, but also leaves room for DIY.

You can decorate the reception with jute wrapped wine bottles and mason jars with tea lights to give your reception a little something extra.

One Atlanta bride looking to add her personal spin to her wedding had this to say about the rustic venue:

“Juliette Chapel is like a beautiful blank canvas in the serene woods of the North Georgia mountains, and is perfect for couples who don't believe in breaking the bank for their wedding, want flexibility and the opportunity to add a lot of your own personality to your big day,” she said. “Thanks to Juliette Chapel, I was able to have the cozy, intimate, earthy wedding of my dreams.”

At the Juliette Chapel, let the serenity of the woods and your DIY talents make this wedding venue everything you hoped for your special day.

2012 Wedding Trends

Are you planning a 2012 wedding? Are you wanting to know the latest trends for this upcoming wedding season? Incorporating the latest trends and unique elements of your personality help make your wedding truly unique. You definitely want your wedding to stand out and make your wedding your own. So, Wedding and Party Network has the 2012 wedding trends that will help get you started on planning your wedding.

This year, romance is definitely in the air. Start thinking of dreamy, lush and love.

Wedding Gowns – Take a style note from the royal wedding. Think of Victorian styled gowns Lace sleeves, illusion necklines and an overall style of elegance.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

Wedding Theme – Yes, there are themes to weddings. It's more than just choosing colors, you see the theme throughout the flowers, wedding invitations, wedding dress and throughout everything. Think of rustic and nautical. However, you're definitely not limited to these themes. Think about what you enjoy the most and what best suits your style.

Location, Location, Location –When you think of your location, think of your theme first. Then decide what wedding venue would best convey your theme. If it's rustic, think more of an outdoors venue. Vineyards, barns or near a lake are the ideal places and can truly be transformed into something spectacular.

Ditch The Cake –Of course, wedding cakes are important. However, they may have taken a back seat to dessert tables. More and more weddings are incorporating dessert tables into their wedding reception. Feature different pies, cookies, miniature cakes, cupcakes or candy. You satisfy all your guests by having different desserts at your wedding. Of course, you can still have a wedding cake. However think about featuring the desserts as the main attraction.

Late Night Favor – Normally, weddings can last into the wee hours of the night. The food is long gone by now and it's starting to wear off. Therefore, couples are starting to offer their guests late night snacks for a treat. You can go with cookies and milk, doughnuts or candy to satisfy their sweet tooth and late night cravings.

What's Your Style – Most importantly, this is YOUR day. There doesn't have to be any certain themes or elements at your wedding. The main thing to remember is to incorporate what you love and show off your style. After all, this is your day that you'll remember a lifetime.

Sooo, We're Engaged…Now What?!

So you're engaged? Amazing! Congratulations! How exciting! When are you going to get married? What kind of wedding do you want? All the questions that you will be bombarded with when you announce your engagement to friends and family. The problem? You don't have a clue on what you want, what to do and where to begin. People don't realize how many details, big and small, that are included when planning a wedding. There's a certain wedding time line that must be followed along with a million other questions that must be considered and answered. So here's is a little helpful post on where to begin to get you started. From here, you'll be able to plan the wedding of your dreams.

Beautiful Wedding Bands

A Grand Announcement:The first thing step is easy. Announce it. You want all your friends and family to know your big news, so tell them. Tell them about your funny, unique, romantic or traditional marriage proposal. Of course, you'll be slammed with those same questions, but simply reply, "We haven't discussed any of the details yet". That simple. Share this extremely joyous time with your close friends and family. Enjoy it!

Just Imagine: Start with planning out how you want your wedding day. Your wedding day theme and style should be based on you. Have you always imagined a pink and green wedding? Well, that should be it. Your wedding style should be based on yours and the groom. So, research, research and do more researching.

Budget, Budget, Budget: Before you can do anything, you must sit down and discuss your wedding budget. Otherwise, you could be overspending or underspending for your wedding. Discuss who will pay for it. Will it be you, your parents, him or his parents? Will you split the costs up between each other? Whatever you decide on, you must do that first. Then you can start planning all the little wedding details based around your wedding budget.

Location: Next item to check off your agenda, location. Find a site within your budget and that sets the style of your wedding. Your location can range to a destination wedding to a traditional church that you grew up in. Choose one that best fits your style. Once you find one, book it! Wedding locations can be booked pretty quick. So grab your site and your reception location while you can, just to ensure that you have it.

Wedding Ceremony

Everything In Between: Next, all the little wedding details you must not look over. Caterers, bakery, wedding photographer, wedding videographer, musical entertainment, wedding dress, florist, stationary, wedding rentals, wedding decorations and then some will be exactly what you need on your wedding day.

Go to tastings, visit different stores, look at different pictures and anything that will help you decide on which wedding vendor you want to use.You must trust these vendors to handle all your wedding day needs and absolutely LOVE what you have picked out. It is your wedding day and you DO NOT want to be disappointed.

Don't forget to ask these vendors for references, review their contracts, ask them questions and see if they fit within your budget. Your wedding vendors will be responsible for making all your wedding dreams come true, so putting your trust within them is a must.

The Big Day: Now, it's time to relax and enjoy. You've spent all your time and energy planning your dream wedding. So don't stress anymore. Enjoy it!

Hope these wedding planning tips help. Enjoy your big day and enjoy it to the fullest!
