The Seating Chart Solution!

Martha Stewart Weddings

If you have ever made a seating chart for a large event you understand that last minute changes are almost inevitable.  In order to make your life easier, Martha Stewart Weddings suggests creating a flexible seating chart that can be easily rearranged.  Just write guests names on these thin adhesive strips by Muji or simply cut up sticky notes.  They also suggest another time saving tip, " create color-coded groups, such as bride's family, groom's family, friends, and kids". We will definitely by trying this trick for our next event!  


Enjoy!

A Winter Wedding at the Lodge

We were so excited about Emily and Josh's winter wedding, and we were even more thrilled with how everything turned out.  All of the details were perfect, and it was an amazing team we were working with!  Donna Jacob with The Wedding Planners did a wonderful job bringing Emily's vision of vintage decor to life. Carolyn Goff and Julie Wright (Florists) added some southern charm by using cotton in the flower arrangements- too cute!  Take a look at some of the wonderful photographs taken by Lindsay Jane Studios...


Her gorgeous lace dress was from Arzelle's Bridal in Nashville 

Their ceremony was held at West Emory Presbyterian Church in Knoxville 














Miss Tess and the Bon Ton Parade were  AMAZING

Thank you again to Lindsay Jane Studios for these great pictures!


Enjoy!

Go Green with Reusable Guest Bags!

Since RT Lodge has 60 guest rooms on property, most of our weddings have  overnight guests.  Guest bags full of goodies are typically placed in each room before the guests arrival. These bags are usually full of local snacks and beverages, schedule of the weekends events, maps and directions, and any other little treats that help your guests feel right at home!  These are not required, but if you are expecting out-of-town guests I highly recommend them! Be green by housing the goods in a reusable tote bag!  Here are some very cute designs you can feel good about!
