Here at AO we are so excited for February to finally be here!! With all the events and giveaways we've heard about, how could we not be?!

Between the bridal luncheons and the rehearsal dinner, bride-to-be's can be in a tizzy over which dress to wear to all of their social events. As wedding seasons approaches, Olive designer Katriesa Raines is ready to launch her Spring 2010 collection of Little White Dresses! This Thursday, Feb. 11th her collection will launch at Kelly's Closet. This event will consist of cocktails and Olive's Little White Dresses from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. What better way to spend a Thursday night than finding that perfect dress for every event leading up to your big day!?

We are excited to announce that Project Runway alum Heidi Elnora will be showing off her new bridal collection next Friday, February 19th, with a runway show benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundations of Alabama and Georgia. The "Art of Weddings," which was created by Heidi as a way to give back to her community,  is a collaboration of Atlanta's top wedding designers and artists. Not only do we love the idea but we're thrilled that 100% of the proceeds from the event are going directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. There are two types of ways to attend this event, either VIP or general admission! The VIP guests will arrive at 6 p.m. and includes a pre-show preview, Swag Bag, Wine and hor d'oeuvres, and are priced at $50 a ticket. General admission guests can pay $15 in advance or $25 at the door when they arrive at 7p.m. and this includes the Runway Show and hor d'oeuvres! To learn more about the event visit their website at www.theartofweddings.org. We know this is a must event for us and can't wait to see you there!!

As most of you know the Not Wedding is rapidly approaching! With 19 days left before the big event we want to offer the Bride-to-be's that register between today and Friday the chance to win 1 of  2 Custom Ring Bearer Bowls™from Paloma's Nest! These darling bowls are a great way to break away from the norm when your little ring bearer is coming down the aisle. Whether your theme is vintage, beachfront, or formal these unique bowls will set your wedding apart from the rest! Check out their newly launched website at www.palomasnest.com!

Things are hustling and bustling in the AO offices in preparation for the third annual NotWedding coming up on February 28th.  If you've been sleeping under a rock and didn't hear, we've taken over production of the much-talked about event and we're taking things up a notch this time around.  You know, putting our own AO touch on it. 

In the meantime, we're reminiscing of last year's event and getting giddy just looking at the pictures.  As you know The NotWedding depicts different wedding themes in an uber creative way to give brides-to-be creative options for their big day and ways to steer clear of cookie-cuter weddings. 

Here's a board below that we've put together for one of the weddings from last year....

This year's event is going to knock your socks off.  Stay tuned for more recaps from last year, prizes and giveaways for this year and the party you've been waiting for.  Don't have your tickets yet?  Buy them now!
