It is time now to take a journey back through the recent past, and give our fans a behind-the-scenes look into The 7th Atlanta NotWedding. Atlanta is the city where it all started, and we’re always stoked to be there. Scroll on to see how our 7th rodeo turned out! We have a feeling you’ll love what you see.

Step 1: Inspiration

At the beginning of every NotWedding event process, we provide an inspiration board for our participating vendors. The Atlanta team got hit with a sweet and soft-toned beauty.

Step 2: Introduce Alfie & Sean!

Alfie & Sean are very close to the heart of The NotWedding. Sean is the man responsible for the moving spoken word poem that we use as the ceremony piece at all our events! We were so honored to have him and his bride (the sweetest and most gentle couple EVER) to represent us and renew their vows at our 7th Atlanta event. Sean even surprised us all with an extra poem to deliver to Alfie on the altar. Here’s a link to their adorable Save the Date shoot by Morning Light by Michelle Landreau.

Step 3: Bonding

For this event’s Rehearsal Dinner, we brought all our fabulous vendors together at Sun In My Belly Café, who was also our caterer for the main event! This is a great time for our vendors to get to know each other and become one big, happy family before they team up to create their NotWedding experience.

Atlanta treated us right, and we hope we treated you, too! We look forward to going back to the city and meeting more brides and vendors. If you are a wedding vendor in the greater Atlanta area and wish to be involved in this fabulous adventure, apply now to join the NotWedding family! If you are a bride (or not!) and you like what you see, buy a ticket now for one of our upcoming events and get in on the fun yourself. If you can’t make it, FEAR NOT– you can still be involved by helping us out as a Brand Ambassador! (They get free T-shirts. Duhhh, no-brainer).
