Featured: Borrowed & Blue

This wedding loveliness was featured recently on Borrowed & Blue for the Birmingham area.  Heading by Anita Kanellis with AK Brides, it was a dreamy day.  Heather Durham did a fantastic job with the photos; I know that pleased Caroline and her family.  Really each way you turn, the vendor team was awesome!  Did you see those flowers from Carol with Lillie Jane!  Wow!

Head on over to B&B and check out the feature.  Here is the link.  I'm going to post the video below too in case you want to relive the wedding day with us!  Enjoy!

#GivingTuesday - Discovery Clubs

Here in our little town of Birmingham, we have so many wedding vendors that I have personally seen that give back to their communities when they think no one is watching.  For today’s #GivingTuesday post, I want to introduce you to a talented floral designer and guitar playing extraordinaire, Carol Harris (Lillie Jane’s).  I’m sure Carol, and her family are laughing hysterically at me calling her a guitar playing extraordinaire.  But for years now, she takes that guitar every Tuesday to an inner-city school and along with her mom, sings and encourages young girls.  Carol has commented on the excitement in those girls’ eyes when they see her coming. According to the website, Discovery Clubs are "after-school Bible clubs that offer fun, safe and inspirational activities that help children learn the love of Christ."

One of the really cool things about doing these GivingTuesday posts is that I get to learn about all of the different ways we, as a community, can help.  I didn't know that Discovery Club was a ministry connected to the Jimmie Hale Mission. I thought that the JHM has just to help homeless men and women.  It's pretty neat that they are able to go into the schools and really love on children that might need a little hope in this world.

I sure do love finding wonderful examples of our wedding community giving back even during non-holiday times. Well done, Carol!

Ginna and Ty | Mountain Brook Country Club

Ginna is one of those people that you can see across the room and instantly know that you are going to love her.  She has a smile that can light up any darkness!  We were so honored when she and Ty chose Main Street to be a part of their wedding.  From the lovely flowers by Lillie Jane to dancing the night away with wedding band Az-Izz, the day was flawless.  That might have also had something to do with wedding planner, Anita Kanellis. Watch the video and see Ginna's dad serenading his bride on stage with the band.  I'm so glad that we were there to capture that PRICELESS moment.

Catherine and Matt | Iron City

As Catherine and Matt's wedding planner stated, their wedding was "It was a beautiful Great Gatsby meets southern charm meets downtown Birmingham vibe." The wedding was covered with beautiful draping and flowers. It was stunning!

Ikue and Connor | Rucker Place | Birmingham Wedding Video

Through the Japanese language, Ikue and Connor fell in love. Listen to their love story woven in throughout their wedding film.  Connor, a native of Birmingham, chose to have one of their weddings here in Alabama, with the other wedding a couple of weeks later in Tokyo.  (Too bad we couldn't go too - only the video.) Their story is a sweet one that Chris did a really great job of capturing!
