A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to attend the Sephora
I was so excited to be invited by Michelle of Burlap and Brooches and Sara Fried of Fete Nashville to their Leap in the City Event at Sambuca this past February. Sambuca is a great local restaurant here in Nashville and happens to be one of my favorites. They have a newly expanded Sky loft Lounge designed for 70-100 guests and it’s ready to host rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and bachelorette parties. The food was wonderful and I had my first ever bacon wrapped Quail which was really good! 🙂
Dulce Desserts made the most delicious cupcakes and I was happy to find out they make most of the desserts for Sambuca’s special events. The lush flower arrangements were by Ricky Minder of Ode Floral Artistry and the detailed charcoal and candy apple red linens were provided by Jennifer Byler of Connie Duglin Linens.
Daiva Grubb of Designs in August whom I had the pleasure meeting that night created the logo and paper designs for the event and I loved how they turned out.
Melissa McBryde of Grand Avenue Transportation provided the fancy Mercedes Benz for the fun photo shoot outside.
The always charming and very talented Gregory Byerline was the photographer for the night. Thank you again to Michelle and Sara for throwing such a fun party!
Other sponsers for the night: Nashville Audio Visual // Chris Wheeler Films // Reed Thomas Lawrence

WedCandy: Did you always know that you wanted to be in the Bridal industry?
WedCandy: What is your favorite part of owning The Bride Room?
Charlotte: There are so many things… so hard to name just one! First, I would have to say the relationships… I consider us lucky – privileged – honored to be a part of the most delightful time in a bride’s life… there is simply *nothing* like that moment when she finds *the one* ….oh! it gives me chills just thinking about it! Then, there’s the joy of getting to make a living doing something you love… there’s nothing like it! I feel very fortunate! Of course, market … oh, my 2nd home, NYC…. At my first market, I thought, *I’ve made it!!* I’ve learned a lot since then but when I walked into my first *real* New York runway show and saw Anna Wintour on the front row? I really thought I’d made it.
WedCandy: Tell me about your team – I know that you have one fabulous group. What is the one characteristic that stands out for each?
Charlotte: Oh, my girls. Truly they are the face of our company – they are the glue – my rock – and happen to be two of the best friends a girl could have. Stephanie and Amy are two of the most sincere, thoughtful, hard working, dedicated, life-loving, fun-loving girls you will ever know — long after The Bride Room is gone, Char, Steph and Amy will still be.
WedCandy: So, this is a HUGE milestone in reaching 10 years – so can we look forward to 10 more years?
