StudioWed Nashville Open House, January 10th
If you know that you can't make it to The Inspired Bride, definitely attend one of StudioWed Nashville's open houses that take place at their studio in Edgehill Village. These open houses are great because it's in a much more casual setting as compared to a huge hall filled with booths and it allows you to mingle with the various vendors who are part of the StudioWed family as well as meet other brides. Think of it as more of a "get to know you" and a question and answer type environment. This is perfect for you if you work all day and don't want to spend hours on a weekend trudging around a bridal show - stop by after work, hang out and ask wedding planning questions!

Cosmo Creations is a premier DJ service that has served brides from Cookeville to Nashville for 10 years. 2011 brought exciting new additions to their company that will benefit Greater-Nashville brides. They have expanded their service offerings, added a new location, and will showcase their new products at an upcoming bridal show. Keep reading for all the details.
Brent Cantrell, who started Cosmo Creations, and the rest of the team care deeply about what the bride and groom want and envision for their wedding. This is so important, that they decided it was essential to have a place to meet with clients in an intimate setting to get the feel for what is needed to make their client's day perfect.
New Location
Cookeville couples - DJ's Brent Cantrell and Josh Rose are both Cookeville residents and local business is very important to them since the area has helped shape the business into what it is today. They will have an open house at the new location from 4 pm to 8 pm, Thursday, January 19. If you are a Cookeville area bride or wedding pro, you should go check out their new office at 135A Pigeon Rd, Cookeville, TN.
Nashville couples - The Cosmo Creations crew has and will continue to meet their Nashville brides at StudioWed Nashville.
New Services
Cosmo Creations has a number of incredible services that they offer to couples on their big days. They have packages for every event at every budget. Music can be provided with or without an emcee, and ceremony music with a lapel microphone for the officiant is also available. They have the latest technology in lighting and video projectors available for rent. Music videos showcased through the projectors and on flat panel TVs have been a big hit at weddings.
If you want a more interactive affair, karaoke is available and always a fun idea. They include over 1,000 karaoke songs, two microphones, and a television monitor. The DJ's at Cosmo Creations make it their mission to read what style music the guests would enjoy listening to and they never disappoint.
In addition to all of those features, Cosmo Creations has added another exciting element to their arsenal - the photo booth! With Cosmo Creations, you can customize photo strips and take an unlimited number of high-quality photographs in color and/or black and white. Attendants are present to assist and ensure the host gets a copy of each photo taken in the booth. Instead of a traditional guest book, brides can opt for a scrapbook of these images that guests can then sign. They provide props to add to the fun along with online galleries for the digital copies of all of the images. Check out their Facebook page to see online galleries of the photo booth and past events.
To check out Cosmo Creations/Cookeville Photo Booth in person, visit the Cookeville Bridal Show from 1pm to 5pm, Sunday, January 15, 2012 . They will have their photo booth set up, so drop by to try it out and register to win a FREE photo booth rental!

If you have attended a Nashville bridal show (as an engaged couple or wedding pro) you have probably enjoyed a cake sample (or five, in my case) from Signature Cakes by Vicki. They're the mini cupcake samples with just the right amount of topping for a one-bite treat that gives you a great idea of just how good their cakes are. Well, they've scaled things down a little (not mini cupcakes though) for the holiday season and they're offering holiday dessert cakes that will feed up to 50 people, in their delicious flavors we already know and love.
This really is the most wonderful time of the year and to me, Thanksgiving is but a warm up for the feast of sweets and treats that the holidays tend to bring. You can keep your pumpkin spice lattes and pies, there is nothing that says holiday cheer like good old fashioned cake. And, who better to spread such cheer than Signature Cakes by Vicki? Here's how you can order yours!
Starting right now, Vicki and her team are taking orders via email or, if you have any questions, call them and let them know we sent you. If you're not picky when it comes to flavors, you can get one pretty quickly (one week) but for special flavors and orders please allow more time.
Why order a cake? Easy - it's stress free and taste fantastic. These dessert cakes are great to bring to a party, to have if you're hosting one or if you'd just like to give someone a tasty gift for the season. Flavors include strawberry, caramel with butterscotch (perfect for this time of year), white chocolate, chocolate and spice which is a buttermilk spice with cinnamon and allspice and the great flavors that conjur up the holidays.
Each 12-inch cake is $99 and a little extra if you want more personalized flavors. Again, allow no less than one week for your order for basic flavors (pictured, chocolate not shown) and more time for specialty flavors which include Signature Cake's margarita or key lime or banana cream. But trust me when I say the strawberry is amazing (real, pureed strawberries!) and you can't go wrong with the caramel. All the cakes come with the buttercream frosting and filling, with extra costs for ganache and any decorations. For more of their flavors click here.
Signature Cakes By Vicki's dessert and holiday cakes are a great way for you to sample her work in case you're still looking for a baker for your wedding. Her cakes are fluffy and have a great texture and taste. The same level of work is put into these cakes as is expended on the wedding cakes they make so you can expect the same great quality, just in a smaller size, just in time for the holidays.
Order your cakes soon, and be sure to mention that you heard about them from ABG! Visit their website at SignatureCakesByVicki.com.
