Venue Spotlight - Cake & Ale Decatur

Cake & Ale is definitely a hidden gem especially for those who live outside of downtown Decatur. One thing that I love about having my studio in Decatur is the variety of amazing restaurants and cuisine. I had the opportunity to visit and get a grand tour of this space(s) by one of the owners. Even though I have been to Cake & Ale several times, I never knew they rented out either one of the spaces (restaurant or bakery) for baby showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and more. And, I totally enjoyed my squash quiche with garden salad and made from scratch carrot cake after the tour. When you get a chance, please make sure you check out this venue when you are in Decatur - where it is Greater.

Natural Hair - Janelle Monáe Wedding Style Inspiration

It is kinda funny how times changed and things run in cycles. When I was growing up, my mom refused to put chemicals in my hair (only natural styles). Now, natural hair is very much back in vogue. I have transition from chemicals (creamy crack) to healthier protective styles over the last few years. I also see my brides searching for hair styles, so I have pulled some pictures from my favorite Cover Girl Janelle Monae. I've met her super talented hair stylist and she even came into the salon when I was getting my hair done one day. Janelle is a very petite, gorgeous young lady with super style. I hope you are inspired by her gorgeous tresses.
