"Weddings Unveiled" Summer Issue Released

From the desk of Sashay's Lady in Waiting:

Thaaat's right, ladies! The Summer 2011 Issue of Weddings Unveiled magazine has dropped and oh boy is it gorgeous! We had a party here at our StudioWed office where we were able to take a first look at the new issue. First of all, their front page is stunning. If you flip toward the back of the magazine, you will find an 18-page spread of the season's loveliest dresses, photographed at the exquisite Swan House at the Atlanta History Center in Atlanta.

Dresses were supplied by some of the hottest designers: Marchesa, Reem Acra, Naeem Khan, Douglas Hannant, and Elizabeth Filmore.

According to Creative Director Brooke Thomas, Weddings Unveiled is an inspiration magazine. Their purpose is to showcase creativity and foster creative ideas to help brides and grooms come up with the most amazing wedding possible.

A New Look at Farm

From the desk of Sashay's Lady in Waiting:

Everyone loves Farm Weddings. We've seen them featured in the hottest magazines, on blogs, and out on...well...farms. So, at the StudioWed Wedding Date Night at Rik Ducar and Sugarcoat last month in Virginia Highland, the Gals of Sashay decided to bring a new twist to the beloved Farm. Amish Farm! Our MANnequin posed in a lovely black and white houndstooth bow-tie while the WOMANnequin fashioned a short, cream, to-the-neck dress. The scene showcased an old timey pie table with rhubarb, cherry, and apple, of course! A crisp red barn construction and a window looking out to the picket fenced rolling hills was the final reminiscent touch. We do hope you'll look at these photos and get a few ideas of how to spin the ordinary into extraordinary!


Against the background of Pennsylvania farmland, this Bride and Groom state their intentions through vow within the antiqued and aged walls of the barn she played “cowgirl” in as a child.


And tomorrow, they will awaken together, wrapped in her Grandmother’s quilt, Husband and Wife.


Using the approached of “found objects”, the décor focuses on the natural beauty of the environment and design that blends and complements rather than transforms.


It’s also, just a little bit fun, and why shouldn’t it be?


As Always,

Sashay's Lady in Waiting
