Real Atlanta and Georgia Weddings

It is always fun to get ideas and inspiration from other couples! My Real Weddings section aims to show weddings of all styles and budgets - after all everyone can't afford some of the weddings that can be seen on some of the big style blogs and social media sites like Pinterest. Here I will show you real weddings in your local area created by local wedding vendors that you can actually find and hire. Get inspired!  Lei
