It's been the summer of sisters for Main Street Productions!  We love being a part of a family through multiple celebrations!  Katie and Andy were married this summer at Swann Lake Stables.  Even though they knew each other in High School, it wasn't until Sophomore year at Auburn that the two (finally) started dating.  Weddings where the bridal party all know each other always makes for the most fun receptions!

I think one of the best trends over the past few years has been on groom's cakes.  A little while back, I did a post about showing school spirit in the creating of a groom's cake, but sometimes we see that it goes so much further than that.  And it's fun!  Plus look at the talent and creativity right here in the South!

Here are my favorite (and off-beat) groom's cakes, in no particular order...

1 - A drum set by Barb's Cakes at a recent B & A Warehouse wedding.

4. Whiskey anyone?  I can't locate the baker but Arden Photography at Windwood Equestrian was able to capture it before guests "drank" it!

I love it when I'm scrolling along, minding my own business, and one of our beautiful brides catches my eye.  Today I found Anna Laura and David's wedding featured on Bromberg's Wedding Website.  

These two really have a fantastic love story.  You should take a minute to visit the Bromberg's website to read it for yourself.  It's one of the best!   

And click here to read the recap post that I did (including their gorgeous wedding film)! You know what, I'll just add the wedding film here too, just to make it easy on you!

It was love at first sight.  Maybe not really for the bride and groom, but for me when I first met Anna Laura.  After 15 minutes of talking with her, I knew that we wanted to be a part of their wedding day.  I was so happy when she picked us!  There were so many wonderful details that were going to give the day that extra special touch. And I have to say, even though I was talking with basically royalty, I felt that I was chatting with my closest girlfriends.  Anna Laura has that effect on people, even with all of her accolades through the Miss Alabama pageants.  

She was well on her way to assembling an awesome wedding team.  I don't know if I can say it enough - it really does make a difference when you pick quality, "great" vendors.  Everyone works together to make sure the desired result is achieved - making the bride, groom and their families have the perfect wedding day! Ashley with I Do, I Do Wedding Planning planned an amazing Reid Chapel ceremony with a fun reception at B & A Warehouse, both in Birmingham, AL.  

My favorite part of her wedding film was when the flower girl kept glancing at Dave when his bride was walking down the aisle.  Watch it for yourself and see. Sooo cute!!  What's your favorite part?
