The online publication showcases weddings, engagement sessions, styled shoots, vendor spotlights and advice posts from all across the Middle Tennessee area. After working as the Marketing & Design Manager at a local rental company, Alyssa took ownership of the blog in 2016. The publication was formerly known as Ashley's Bride Guide and since Alyssa's ownership, she has worked with many incredible local vendors and national brands including David's Bridal, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Azazie, Basic Invite and more. Alyssa has also been a regular guest on the local show Today in Nashville and also served as the Vice President of the networking group TWESA (Tennessee Wedding & Event Specialists Association) for 2 years. Showcasing the work of talented wedding pros and connecting them with engaged couples is something that is so dear to Alyssa's heart! But when she's not helping vendors, you can find her having dance parties with her three-nager, cuddling her 9-month-old, hanging out at the local farmers market, and visiting family up north with her husband and two kiddos.
