Monday Memo from Laura E

by Lara Casey in Inspirations on April 6, 2009

Happy Monday y’all! This has been such a busy day here so far… wow! Lara is off to Indianapolis for Eventology in the morning and we can’t wait to hear about everything she learns there and about all the amazing wedding professionals she will meet. Congrats to the Eventology team on what promises to be a fabulous conference!

Spring is here and I know many of our recently engaged brides are wondering where to start with the planning of their wedding. Since you’ve found us here at Southern Weddings, you are in good hands with getting great inspiration and possibly winning something from one of our fabulous giveaways. But besides SW, attending bridal events can be a great way to launch your planning. That is why I try to keep you all informed on great events happening near you! Here is one for our Carolina brides….

Okay, I know this isn’t wedding related but nonetheless we have to add that UNC is playing in the NCAA Championship game tonight! Since our office is in Chapel Hill we –of course– are major Tarheel fans… enough so that office hours were cut short today in order to get ready for all the downtown festivities tonight. Wish our team luck!

Have a great week! Laura E.
