Necessity is the mother of invention - or at least that's what Lei Lydle believed in the late 1990's when preparing for her wedding and discovered no comprehensive planning and information resource for brides and grooms. Well, she fixed that by creating AtlantaBridal.com - a free online self-serve wedding planning resource designed to help engaged couples and party planners plan their weddings and events in Georgia. While it is similar in nature to The Knot and Wedding Wire, AtlantaBridal is the only comprehensive, locally owned and operated resource of its kind and has been helping engaged couples plan their weddings and parties in Georgia since 1998.
