Save the Date: Little Black Dress Revue, A Cocktail Party for Brides + Grooms!

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

Today's Guest Blogger: Sarah of Music City Events

Calling all Nashville brides! Grab your groom or your girls and mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 9, 2010 to attend The Little Black Dress Revue…the cocktail event before you debut your long white dress.

What's different about this event?

A brand new experience for Nashville brides - or brides anywhere, really! Grab your groom or your girls and prepare for THE experience. The Little Black Dress Revue is a cocktail party designed as an actual party for couples to experience what their wedding day can be like. Instead of visiting 30-40 vendors in an 8x8 space at bridal shows, see these vendors in action! Enjoy a date night at Noah Liff Opera Center from 6:30–9:30pm with your honey and paint the town! Savor delicious hors d’oeuvres and scrumptious desserts while enjoying Little Black Dress cocktails and local brews with music by a live band. Bring your dancing shoes!

Experience first hand what your wedding day can be like at a party prepared by the best wedding vendors in Nashville. Brought to you by myself, Music City Events, and the amazing Gregory Byerline, this Dress-to-Kill (or at least render your fiancé speechless!) event is sponsored by Lipman Brothers, the oldest distributor of wine and spirits in Middle Tennessee, and Ashley’s Bride Guide. Each $10 ticket includes dinner, dessert and dancing PLUS an entry into a drawing for a Grand Prize worth over $5,000 from top-shelf Nashville wedding vendors! That’s three zeroes…and a big chunk saved from your overall wedding budget.

One lucky bride will win...

The Grand Prize package includes a groom’s cake, bridal portrait session, custom thank you cards, rehearsal dinner planning, bar service, discount on customized draping, videography goodies, limousine transportation, and {much much} more.

See a complete list of bridal vendors at the Little Black Dress Revue vendor page.

REGISTER HERE now to reserve your tickets. The first 50 registrants receive a double entry into the Grand Prize drawing, increasing your chances to go home with major savings to celebrate your big day. Have questions? Any comments? Feel free to email us here, or contact me at Sarah at aMusicCityEvent dot com, and we’ll get you taken care of. Remember to register early to double your chances for winning the Grand Prize valued over $5,000. We look forward to seeing you on November 9 at the Little Black Dress Revue.

August Bridal Events: StudioWed Open House, Trunk Shows, Bridal Shows + More

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

August is a great month for Nashville brides!  Believe me, there are more wedding finds beyond the big bridal shows.  In fact, many times, the smaller more intimate bridal events will give you a one-on-one opportunity to converse with local pros and really assess their service/product.  Brides always tell me that they prefer the big shows for ideas but the boutique bridal events (like the ones below) allow them to shop at their own pace and find great vendors.

Here's my rundown of not-to-miss, August bridal events. Visit our bridal event calendar for details on all of the events below:

Open House

August 10: StudioWed Open House -  Meet Our Photographers

StudioWed is hosting a photographer open house on August 10th. Engaged couples will not only meet top photographers, but will also receive a couple photo made by one of the photographers that night! Also, if you attend the open house and then book one of their photographers by August 24th, you will receive a free session from the booked photographer (i.e. engagement, bridal portraits, etc).

Brides’ Night Out - Dessert Ideas and Floral Advice

Thursday, June 10, 2010

In this last installment of our Brides' Night Out video advice series, we're happy to share flower and dessert ideas.  If you've missed any of our wedding advice series, start with last week's advice on kids at weddings.

Thanks so much to AndyCam Weddings for providing us with the clips; thanks to the wonderful vendors who presented at Brides' Night Out (Dulce Desserts, Music City Tents & Events, Fabu, b. Hughes Bridal and Signature Events) and to the brides who asked questions that most brides want to know.

Kicking things off with wise advice from pastry chef and cake maker diva, Juanita of Dulce Desserts - "Are dessert buffets common?"

Karen Kaforey of Signature Events Inc. takes on the next question - "How accepted is it to choose non-traditional flower colors?"
