Central Kentucky's Most Experienced Bridal Consultants

Michele Landers
As an Accredited Bridal Consultant, Michele Landers has been helping brides create special wedding memories by providing assistance through every aspect of the planning process. Whether a bride (or her mom) is in need of a nudge in the right direction or full scale wedding planning, Michele and her staff are there to help. In addition to expert planning advice, Bridal Potpourri also offers brides help in designing unique wedding invitations, wedding programs, map cards and weekend event itineraries.

Bridal Potpourri was established in 1998 as the Bluegrass area’s first full service bridal consulting office. Michele feels that the biggest challenge facing today’s brides is finding someone who will listen and then transform the dream into reality, while respecting their vision and their budget.

Erica Landers
This begins Erica's seventh season as Michele's Junior Wedding Day Assistant. When things magically appear as Michele needs them, you can be sure that Erica is not far away! She has graduated from afternoon ceremonies to evening weddings and receptions. As with every consultant, there is always one event that makes you wonder why you're in this business. I think she was thinking twice about it one morning at two a.m. when she got caught by the sprinkler system at Donamire Farm as she was gathering up the wedding signs.
