Real Nashville Wedding: Allie and Brandon
Thursday, July 9, 2009
I am delighted to feature Allie and Brandon's Nashville wedding. Allie has been an ABG bride for a very long time - like 18 mths+. She attended my 27 Dresses party in Jan of 2008 and we sat together during the movie. We had a great time. She is one of the sweetest, cutie pies you will ever meet.
So, when McNeal Video sent me her wedding to feature, I simply couldn't wait to see and share all of the details.
Brandon - you must be special bc I know that Allie is. I pray the two of you will be forever happy.
Thank you for letting me share your wedding and for being a part of the ABG community.

My faves Personalized runner and banner How I found my vendors? Bridal shows, friends, online searching My Wedding Rewind: What I would do differently if planning again? I would have married my dream man much sooner Biggest waste of time or money? This was a budgeted wedding, so I made sure all of my money was used very wisely, nothing. Best value for the service/product? EVERYTHING Neatest find Besides my man? The runner, banner and gobo Advice for other Nashville brides? Even on a very tight budget, there are so many ways to have a budget-friendly wedding and yet, in the end, appear to have had no budget restraints at all. Our wedding couldn't have been any better. Our planner, Parthenia Fayne with Epiphany Events listened to all of my ideas and had the creative touch to change some of them to be better than I could have ever dreamed. What about the ideas that I had that didn't fit my budget you ask? Well this master mind (better known as MY planner) found ways to implement them that did fit my budget. She is absolutely amazing and I'm convinced that there was no one else who could have done a better job. Everyone commented on how calm I was and how they never saw a bride so calm. It was because I had confidence in my planner, her team and all of my vendors so I knew everything would be perfect. Everyone involved in our wedding was very supportive and made sure that our wedding day was the best it could be.
