Helzberg Diamonds Jewelry Restyle Event

In the mood to change some of your current jewerly collection?

I just got this in my mail box today and I thought I would share with all of you who want to get your old jewelry recreated into something new.

Check out the Helzberg Diamonds Jewelry Restyle Events in the Atlanta Area. Appointments are required and all of the stores only do this for one day starting Oct 26, 2010.

Personally, I had a good experience with my own purchase in the Perimeter Mall location.

10/9/2010 Callaway Gardens Wedding

Last weekend I had a chance to coordinate Lily and Rob Bever’s wedding at Callaway Gardens.

Lily and Rob chose the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel as their ceremony site. The chapel is located inside Callaway Gardens tucked away near Falls Creek Lake. It is a magical wedding ceremony location, especially if you are planning an intimate wedding for 50 guests or less.

One feature I like about the chapel is definitely the organ. The guests who are arriving for the wedding will hear the music before they see the chapel itself because the chapel is hidden in the woods. The organist Debbie Chambless was great and I heard she gives regular organ concerts at Callaway Gardens if you want to hear her play in person. As a church pianist myself and a dedicated Elvis Presley’s fan, I had a smile on my face when I heard her played “Can’t Help Falling in Love” (a specific request by the bride) on the organ as part of the prelude music selection.

For the reception, the couple chose Carriage and Horses Restaurant. I set up the handmade guest book by the bride and the favors of coaster set with the Chinese character “love” that was tied with a favor tag that said “thank you” in both English and Chinese. I must say I am so glad to be involved in the coordination of this beautiful inter cultural wedding. As I was explaining things in Chinese to Lily’s parents and then switch to English for the rest of the wedding party, I am reminded once again that love has no boundary of race, language, and culture.

Congratulations to Lily and Rob Bever! Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.

I hope to feature the professional pictures soon once they are received.

Cake + Truffles = A Match Made in Heaven

During the Heeney’s special event two weekends ago, I had a chance to sample the most amazing dessert, courtesy of KB’s Kake Kreations.

KB’s Kake Kreations had given all the attendees at the Heeney’s event a nicely packaged favor box containing their signature kake truffle, a combination of cake and truffle. I was thinking about sharing the kake truffle with my husband but after one bite into it, I decided that I was just going to eat the whole thing myself!!!

And then I realized the store is not in Atlanta, GA so I e-mailed them about shipping because I really want to share this great product with everyone in Atlanta who is looking for an alternative to the traditional truffle as a wedding favor.

Even though KB’s Kake Kreations is based in Gainsville, Florida, they do ship the products within the whole state of Florida and when I e-mailed them, I was told they can ship it to Atlanta as well.
