Ciao Bella Weddings Creates a Bridal Lounge Inside the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel

Online, March 9, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel will launch The Bridal Luxe Lounge on Friday March 18th from 9:30am to 6:30pm. The pop up venue caters to brides attending the Filene's Basement annual Running of the Brides event. Brides can stop in and grab a bite to eat, cruise the Aisle of Style for unique wedding vendors, or just relax in one of the lounge chairs and enjoy complimentary pastries, Luxe Lounge specialty drinks, a free make up test, massages and more.

Ciao Bella Weddings designer Nikki Michel came up with the idea to do a pop up lounge after working with the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel and designing a mini bridal lounge as a showroom for brides planning their wedding and reception.

"I have always known about the Running of the Brides event, and when I found out that the Marriott was working in conjunction with Filene's Basement to invite brides to the hotel for a complimentary lunch, I thought why not create a lounge where they could come and relax after a day of shopping?" says Michel, whose featured design in the Marriott's Buckhead Ballroom, is one of the many highlights of the venue.

Another highlight of The Bridal Luxe Lounge is the Aisle of Style, which features very select vendors from the Atlanta area who offer exclusive services in makeup, shoes, accessories, men's furnishings, photography, wedding cakes and desserts. Brides won't have to look any further for all the other elements needed to coordinate their wedding.

"We think this is the perfect opportunity to meet brides from all over the Atlanta area and present our premiere event space for their wedding reception." says Sonia Hardy, Special Events Coordinator at the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel.

The Filene's Basement Running of the Brides event takes place Friday March 18th from 8am to 9pm at their store in Buckhead. The Bridal Luxe Lounge is just one block away in the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel located at 3405 Lenox Road NE Atlanta, Georgia 30326 in the 4th Floor conference center.
