10 Ways AshleysBrideGuide.com Can Help You Plan Your Nashville Wedding
Thursday, April 25, 2013
Hi, I'm Ashley and I started AshleysBrideGuide.com (aka ABG) in 2006 to help brides and grooms, like you, across the Middle TN area plan a wedding - no matter your budget or whether you are planning locally or hundreds of miles away. At one point, I was like you - planning a Nashville wedding, didnt know where to start, was a busy professional with little time.
I created ABG to inspire and educate you so that your time and energy is better spent enjoying your engagement! Here are 10 ways our site, social networks can help:
1) Read daily for expert advice and ideas. I blog 5 days a week, M-F and cover just about every topic you'll need as you plan your Nashville wedding. I interview wedding pros to ask the info you need to know, especially wedding venues to get their capacity, fees, etc. I also attend bridal shows and take photos in the event you aren't able to attend. You can either choose a topic and find exactly what you need or just read each day's feature. You're sure to find the info that you need. You can easily access my daily blog from our homepage. It appears under the section The Wedding Scoop.

2) Find top wedding pros to hire for your big day. Use the vendor directory to find your planner, photographer, cake artist, DJ, photo booth, etc. I know just about everyone you need for your wedding and have listed the Nashville wedding pros that support our website and our brides. You can easily search by keyword or by the category that you need. Be sure to check out all of advertisers. They keep our resource free for you and are some of the top wedding pros around town.

3) Save money by starting with our list of savings for ABG readers. Before you hire anyone, check out the bridal savings page to see what specials are available for ABG readers. No point in shopping without a coupon right? You may find someone that you have not considered or you may find a special offered by someone you've already contemplated. Either way, why not save and put that budgeted money elsewhere, whether it's $100 or $1000!

4) Find local bridal events and workshops. Only ABG lists most of the bridal happenings. If you want to get up close and personal, meet wedding pros, taste cake - our bridal calendar will help ensure you don't miss a must-attend event.

5) Get inspiration via our photo gallery! Our inspiration gallery is full of wedding photos from Nashville weddings. Check it out to get ideas, share photos with your friends and find local wedding pros based on their bridal eye candy. What's great about our gallery is that you can search by wedding style and color and includes the links to the local pro responsible for the fab.

6) Find hundreds of Nashville weddings, inspiration all in one place. It's one thing to fall in love with a wedding in California and then not be able to hire any of the wedding pros. It's another to swoon over Nashville-area weddings, with the confidence that the talent is right in our backyard! With one phone call, the pro could be booked for your wedding day and off creating something custom to your wedding vision.

7) Discover other Nashville wedding blogs. We have a list of dozens of Nashville bridal blogs by brides/newlyweds (many are now becoming moms!) and wedding pros. You are sure to find some goodies to add to your follow list.
