Re-tie the Knot

I spent the day at Villa Christina with my ABC Georgia Chapter getting re-certified by Sandals representatives. The day was informative, fun and energized my desire to work with couples who want to renew their marriage vows. I renewed my vows at 15 years and it was magical. I would highly recommend take the time to reconnect and re-tie the knot. Contact me for more details.

Gail John Wedding - Studio Photos

I have been working on my studio since December and it is almost - yes, almost complete. I still haven't done the floors since I can't decide what color or finish - sigh. I put up a shelving and every weekend, I buy accessories, rearrange books and drive myself crazy. I'm heading to design school next week - something that I have always wanted to do but its time. I love design as much as I love weddings and events. Stay tuned for more office updates and design class tidbits.

Check out the fab pics by the talented Jessica Hatter...office designed by me, featured on The Office Stylist website! This is the second time she has featured my studio - I am truly honored.

Lady Lux - Are Wedding Showers Going out of Style?

Make sure you check out my thoughts regarding wedding showers on the LADYLUX site. Wedding showers will never go out of vogue but they are changing as with most wedding traditions. Brides have a new way of thinking of unique ways to set their events apart from the norm. 

Other brides-to-be are going out of town for destination getaways, said Gail Johnson, of Gail Johnson Weddings and Events in Decatur, Georgia.

“One reason is because more and more brides have bridal party members who live out of state. They are finding a common meeting point to gather and have more of a girl’s weekend versus a traditional finger sandwiches and garden party soiree. I’ve seen intimate pajama party at high-end boutique hotel or weekend scavenger hunt in Vegas to fun in the sun in Miami,” Johnson said.
