A Birmingham Multi-Cultural Wedding | Ross Bridge

If you know me at all, you know I love Ross Bridge.  I love it for weddings, for playtime by the pool, even for the breakfast brunch!  Add to that a very sweet bride and her loving parents and it was an event I did not want to miss. 

It was one of those meetings where I fell in love. I try not to let this happen, but it does.  I was so happy that they chose us for the wedding because that meant I could spend more time with them!  Sure, Saman is beautiful, very intelligent and so wonderful to be around.  Did you know that she actually had marriage proposals from around the world!!!!  But she chose to marry for love, a MIT professor (or was it Harvard???  Doesn't matter, he's smart, cute, nice and compliments her so well) who swept her off her feet. 

Just watch the video to see his reaction to seeing her for the 1st look!

Juli and Jacob | Backyard Alabama wedding

When I first spoke with Juli (and Jacob) I was amazed at how they were functioning so well in their life.  They both had full time jobs while planning a wedding and building their dream home.  This dream home was to be the wedding site.  But they were calm.  They had been dating for years and they were ready to finally be married.  They had pride for their house and were excited to share it with friends and family who were to gather to celebrate the couple exchanging their wedding vows. 

When we arrive on site, we can see why this site was the only choice for the wedding.  It was gorgeous!  The view was incredible!  And the house was beautiful!  The only thing more beautiful was the bride.  I loved how their friends, who were basically family, all came together to make the day perfect.  Even when the guitarist blew a circuit during the 1st dance and all of the lighting went dark, it was still perfect, because it allowed for an impromptu sing-a-long from the entire crowd.  It was a good lesson that at the end of the day, no matter what happens, you still get to marry the person of your dreams. - Angela Deaver

Anna Laura and David | Reid Chapel | B & A Warehouse | Birmingham Wedding Video

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?

Michelle and Donnie | Sunday afternoon wedding at the Sonnet House | Birmingham Wedding Video

Michelle and Donnie have a beautiful love story.  We were so thrilled to be a part of their Sunday afternoon wedding at The Sonnet House, in Leeds, Alabama.  

"Michelle chose soft, neutral colors for her wedding. For her bridesmaid’s dresses she handed out paint chips to her girls with the color palette she wanted. The result as each bridesmaid wearing a beautiful dress {in the proper color scheme} that was perfect for her body and most likely a dress they will wear again. The flowers were romantic, whimsical blooms and garlands perfect for a fall day." - The Sonnet House.  To read more, click here

And for a quick 15 sec #Instagram clip of the day, 


The Club | Birmingham Wedding Venue

It seems like once a month we have a wedding or corporate event at The Club (Birmingham, AL). Of course they produce beautiful weddings, but the view of the city of Birmingham is the BEST!  

The ladies that run the sales and marketing department are second to none.  You are always greeted with friendly smiles.  I tell everyone that will listen, it is the only venue in town that can serve 300 people a hot, fresh, plated meal at a wedding. It just further shows their aim for perfection and professionalism. 

This video promo uses clips from several weddings and events that we filmed.  You will see the behind the scenes set up transforming the big room into a magnificent ballroom.  You can really imagine your wedding being held at The Club! 

Once you have booked The Club for your wedding, contact us for your own wedding video!

Burying the Bourbon | A Southern Tradition
Rachel and Scott

Rachel and Scott

Occasionally I see posts from our brides and grooms where they have a shovel in one hand and a bottle of bourbon in the other.  They are carrying on the Southern tradition in the hopes to have perfect weather for their wedding day.  There are a few guidelines that you are supposed to follow. 

  • Bury an unopened bottle of bourbon (upside down) exactly one month before the wedding day
  • Towards the end of the night dig up the bottle and enjoy it with your guests 

I have to say burying it on the site of your wedding venue might reduce your deposit, so don't blame me!  Maybe you can just bury it in your backyard and hope for the best!

Heather Durham Photography had a great post recently on this same topic.  Love her pictures!

So Grandpa buried the unopened bottle of bourbon one month before the wedding, at the exact time of the wedding, at the...

Are you incorporating Pantone's Color of the Year into your wedding?

Every year, wedding designers and stylists anxiously await for Pantone to release their color of the year.  We always see it reflected in weddings whether in bridesmaids dresses, bow ties, or the decor.  

For 2015, Marsala has won!  It is described as a "naturally robust and earthy wine...that enriches our minds, bodies, and souls." You had me at wine!  But really it is a beautiful color that we can't wait to see where it lands in our beautiful Southern weddings.
