Last month, we profiled Seattle’s Sodo Park, and this month we venture south to a city many of our readers call home: Atlanta. From luxe hotels amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown to 1800s-era [...]]]> http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2012/01/28/venue-spotlight-atlantas-piedmont/feed/ 1 http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/12/28/venue-spotlight-seattles-sodo-park/ http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/12/28/venue-spotlight-seattles-sodo-park/#comments Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:01:07 +0000 Tara Spicer http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/?p=3702 To say that wedding planning is a lot of work would be an obvious understatement.

This is one of my favorite holidays of the year, because I share a birthday with our nation’s first president, George Washington—February 22nd. I thought it would be fun to talk about White House weddings—when the president got married while in office.  Two presidents, Tyler and Wilson,  got married while they were [...]]]> http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/02/21/is-your-groom-to-be-presidential-material-are-you/feed/ 0 http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/01/25/wedding-venue-spotlight-the-drake-hotel-in-chicago/ http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/01/25/wedding-venue-spotlight-the-drake-hotel-in-chicago/#comments Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:46:57 +0000 Susan Hawkins http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/?p=2546 Before we get into the beauty and elegance that is the Drake Hotel, I’m compelled to remind you that a “destination wedding” doesn’t necessarily have to be on a beach or foreign land.  If there’s a city in the US you’ve always wanted to visit, make a bold move and hold your wedding there so [...]]]> http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2011/01/25/wedding-venue-spotlight-the-drake-hotel-in-chicago/feed/ 0 http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2010/11/29/2011-wedding-trends-youre-gonna-need-a-bigger-tent/ http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2010/11/29/2011-wedding-trends-youre-gonna-need-a-bigger-tent/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:50:30 +0000 Susan Hawkins http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/?p=2360 Wedding venues with high ceilings just got a big boost.
