Bridal Bar Atlanta
The Bridal Bar comes to Atlanta at the caring hands of Rebecca Hansmann, a previous event professional with over ten years experience in the wedding industry. From owning her own consulting firm to working at several of the top bridal salons in Atlanta she has seen not only how demanding it is to plan such a special day but also how rewarding the end result can be with the right guidance. Hansmann found that Atlanta has so many great options from dress boutiques to photographers that the most frequently asked question is "Where do I start?" She notes, "It's important for couples to have a sense of direction right from the beginning. Planning a wedding can seem a daunting task, but with someone there to guide you, simply inspire and educate you, the process becomes more of the celebration that it should be. I'm bringing Bridal Bar to Atlanta to remind brides that this experience should be one of joy and excitement, not nerves and inconveniences."

Thus, the opening of The Bridal Bar Atlanta; a high-end complimentary planning experience where brides, grooms and their families can educate themselves with the assistance of knowledgeable wedding experts.

About The Bridal Bar™
The Bridal Bar was founded in Los Angeles in 2004 by previous bridal magazine editor, Harmony Walton. Built on the premise that every couple deserves their dream day but simply doesn't know where to start; The Bridal Bar launched a boutique and website to showcase and preview the best of the best in the wedding industry and aid those in the daunting task of saying "I Do." Atlanta marks the third boutique for the company, and the first of its kind in the South. Walton explains, "No matter what the economy looks like or one's budget may be; couples deserve to find value with their dollar and time. The Bridal Bar was designed at the core to do just that, with personal and caring attention.
