Biltmore Galore!

Now that we are almost a week away I am obsessing more and more about our venue. With it's gilded gold ceiling and hand painted details, I could just kiss it. Well, kiss in it. Which I plan to do on Oct. 11th! Wait pinch me...it's October today...I just realized it. OK...so not only is it my birthday in 7 days, but it is my wedding in 10. This is such a crazy time. Well I have scoured the Internet and have found a plethora of pictures to entice our guest with what is to come.

Our wedding will take place in the Imperial Ballroom and then move to the Georgian for the rest of the evening. Here are pics of mostly the Georgian...with a few Imperial. I kinda want to keep that room more of a surprise.

Change of Venue Cards

Here are the new post cards I will be mailing out this week...as well as about 30 invitations I have yet to complete :O

Orignal Venue becomes New Venue!

God Always works things out! I will try to keep this story short and sweet. Awhile back when I knew Chris would be my husband I began thinking about a wedding. It was the first time in my life I had thought about marrying someone and especially a wedding. Well, as I began my search I felt drawn to Atlanta. While looking for venues in Atlanta I stumbles across the Biltmore Ballrooms. I was so impressed with it.

I told my parents and Edmee that was the place I would get married. Well, fast forward a year...that's right a year...and Chris and I come to Atlanta to look for wedding venues. Of course I go to the Biltmore and I thought it was beautiful, but I wasn't drawn to it like I thought I would be. Besides that when you added everything up it was pricey. So we continued our search and decided to go with another venue.

Well, as the time crept closer to the wedding we realized that our current venue was too small and had a host of other issues. We were devastated! What to do? Where to go? Well we both thought about the Biltmore.

So we called the women we had met with and explained our situation. We also let her know why we hadn't chose them before. So that began a day and half process of negotiations that brought the Biltmore down to the price we wanted to pay and not only that, but more incentives than we would have gotten had we booked with them a few months back. This is thanks to us being so close to the date and Chris' superior negotiation skills.

So what was a nightmare has become a dream and we are now back to the venue that I believe God wanted us at from the beginning!
