In honors of Women’s History month, I present to you Clarissa Edmondson Bridges of Sweetest Thing Events.
A creative, and energetic girl from the Midwest of Kansas City, Missouri. Clarissa grew up in the Blue Hills Neighborhood which was 90% African American. Living in a house built in the early 1920s. The daughter of a successful chemist, and educator. The youngest of 3 children, born on a hot summer day in late June; just one week shy of Independence Day.
Her parents instilled great work ethic, wisdom, along with education. Clarissa grasped her sense of style, and creative flare from her mother. She pulled from her childhood experiences majoring in Theatre/Music in high school. Clarissa poured that into her inspiration behind becoming an exquisite planner, and having undeniable amazing organizational skills.
You can find her sipping from a beautifully decorated mug; full of her favorite steamy hot herbal tea, reading a novel, or spending time with her dog…fur baby, “Magic.” Staycations, road trips, and traveling to stunning Bed & Breakfast locations, or checking into a luxury cabin. She spends her days listening to podcasts, combing through bridal magazines, or scrolling through online wedding and event blogs. Her drive and passion comes from God. The motivation and push comes from her husband, and two children she loves and cherishes. The legacy she continues to build; derives from her new first born granddaughter. Which she’s over the moon excited about.
Wedding and Event Planner and CEO and owner of The Sweetest Thing Events; with a wealth of experience. Well over two decades under her belt. The idea started from planning stunning events for close friends in Kansas City, Missouri. Residing in Georgia for close to two decades.
Clarissa is a wedding podcast co-host, speaker, marriage proposal planner, with a niche for intimate events. Two decades of experience curating and executing events. Social events, Themed Parties, Baby showers, swanky parties, brunches, and fun wine tours in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.
The Sweetest Thing Events is a Georgia-based wedding and event planning company. The offerings consist of Full Services and DAY of Services, Micro Weddings, A LA Carte, Engagements and Elopements. Clarissa has planned the Macy’s Bridal Shows at the Mall at Stonecrest. Attended Bridal Fashion Week, and Bridal Market in New York partnered with a NYC based planner. The staff at The Sweetest Thing Events gives clients a wonderful experience. We are an amazing team, and love to execute the smallest to largest big scale events. We pride ourselves for giving a personalized approach, planning pre-event dinners and brunches with our clients. The “day of” we are there from start to finish, until last professional vendor leaves.
Clarissa takes time to develop great working relationships with the professional vendors. In turn makes the event or wedding go off without a hitch!
When she’s not planning, she runs “AdLena’s Embrace” an organization for pregnant and postpartum families. She’s a Doula Mentor, Facilitator, Certified Holistic Doula, Certified Childbirth Educator, and Pregnancy & Infant Loss Advocate.
Lastly, she’s a foster parent as well; spending time caring for infants, toddlers, and school age children, and volunteering giving back to the community.
