Ladies Night in Atlanta with Chelsea and Jen

Nothing quite compares to the feeling of being at home. I mean, it’s where the heart is, after all. And as cliche as that sounds, it’s on par for the celebration of love we got to be a part of with Chelsea and Jen last month.

Their home is tucked into a quaint and quiet neighborhood in Atlanta, one that says hello to each other on the street and even welcomes yard parking – a coveted trait on special event days like this. The home was perfect for their party, with a big backyard and a sprawling deck. We planted the booth on that deck, where we could see the all the action on the dance floor.

“I was really intrigued about the idea of a house wedding,” Alana says, Chelsea and Jen’s host for the evening. “The rustic decor and set up outside was gorgeous. Chelsea and Jen really added their special touches to it. They had homemade food and sangria (red and white), a vodka bar, snack bar, cookies, cupcakes and a unique sign or display (such as in wooden crates and buckets) for each station.”

“I absolutely LOVED this event,” she adds. “Everyone knew each other and from the very beginning, everything felt so connected.”

Details to dote over: The ladies had homemade honey jars as their take-home gifts, scented candles that gave off a feeling of being in the outdoors, their wedding cake sat on a tree stump and they had a sparklers and a fireworks show to end out the evening

What made this event even more special in our eyes (no bias, of course), is the fact that these ladies brought the booth to the next level with their own props. They made cut-out signs, frames and had fun hats as well. They even provided their very own backdrop – a faux tree trunk print – which added to their outside/rustic them. They even provided fans on that hot day to cool people off in the booth, which made the pictures even more fun as people utilized the “hair blowing in the wind effect!”
