Our Favorite Weekend Trips Part 2

We are taking you to the mountains for our second installment of our favorite weekend trips for Atlanta locals. As a wedding planner in Atlanta we travel quite often to celebrate our couples and that has allowed us to get to know the areas we’ve featured below. These are some of the most romantic spots within a few hours of the city.
