Brides Against Breast Cancer Event

Well, this weekend has been a whirlwind of wonderful things! But we'll begin with yesterday. Wonderful Events and Celebrations was honored to be a co-sponsor with Soirees Southern Events to host the Brides Against Breast Cancer Charity Event held at the Chattahoochee Country Club. Oh the beauty - the food, the flowers, the gowns, the tablescapes and of course, the brides!
But to me, the most beautiful of all was this girl!

Outside on the Patio Pavilion tablescapes were set up, along with the Silent Auction items. This is one of our tables - Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired.



This is our second tablescape - environmentally friendly and green!


Mary Stanford and our friends at Southern Florals did the flowers for our tables as well as the tables in the Ballroom. Isn't this amazing??

The Silent Auction items were fabulous - gowns, vacations, wine and check out the shoes! Ann Roth donated a pair of her fabulous shoes and let me tell you, it was quite a bidding war for those shoes! I wish I had taken a better picture of them because oh my word, they were awesome.

Friends, if you aren't familiar with Brides Against Breast Cancer and the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, please go their website and read for yourself what this fabulous organization does for women suffering from this horrible disease.
Every January the Nationwide Tour of Gowns makes it to Atlanta. The proceeds from the gown sale go directly to the Foundation to help make dreams come true for terminally ill patients. Half of the gowns are brand new, donated by designers and bridal shops, while the other half are donated by individuals. What a great idea. I want to go. But apparently you have to be a bride looking for a wedding dress. I just hate that.
Have a good Monday!
