Coral & Bartley’s Botanical Bliss

June 13, 2011

Coral and Bartley‘s wedding was going to happen no matter what. Throughout the day these two love birds were thrown so many curve balls, yet they always had smiles on their faces. After all, the most important thing was going to happen – they were getting married.

Their original wedding site, the Guntersville State Lodge, suffered extensive damage from the recent outbreak of tornadoes across the southern US. Coral and Bartley had to basically re-coordinate and re-plan a wedding for over 100 people in a week. The Botanical Gardens were literally the only place that could host their accommodations. With three additional weddings that day, the gardens were certainly busy! Even though the day threatened rain, the skies held their showers and allowed for Coral and Bartley’s wedding to blossom like a flower…and that it certainly did!

Candice & Will’s Mountaintop Magic | Monte Sano Wedding

June 2, 2011

Candice and Will’s wedding was a perfect blend of their personalities. Everything from Candice’s grand entrance on a horse to Will’s Zelda cake to the swing music that kept heels kickin’ and skirts spinnin’ was absolutely brilliant. While the day started out with a chill in the air the sun shone through during the middle of their ceremony and you could feel the warmth spread. We set up our Looking Glass and you can tell from the video (at the end of this post) just how FUN people have in it!

Ashley and David’s completely dreamy southern wedding at Burritt

April 4, 2011

Ashley and David were married at Burritt on the Mountain (oh, how we LOVE this venue!) a few weeks ago — specifically, on the night of the very famed “supermoon!” Being the big fans of both love and the moon that we are, we were naturally totally stoked to be involved with their day.

Everything, from the gorgeous cherry blossoms to the beautiful weather, was total perfection. These two are clearly meant to be, and being there for the wedding day ride with their family and friends was a treat.

Wedding: Mary Lee & Steven | Aldridge Gardens Vintage Birmingham Wedding Photography

May 17, 2010

Mary Lee and Steven were married exactly one month ago today–April 17–at the Aldridge Gardens in Birmingham! So we thought it would be fun to celebrate their one month anniversary with a blog post dedicated to them and their sweet wedding splendor (though internet-savvy blog followerss may have noticed the sneak peek we posted on Wedding Chicks yesterday).

The wedding was INCREDIBLY detail-heavy, and you can read more about each feature of the day below the images.

Groom’s Cake: Cindy Gaffin (mother of the groom!)–Carrot cake is typically the Gaffin family Christmas tradition, but Cindy made an exception this year since it is Steven’s absolute favorite. The tartan and crest are symbols from the family clan, MacFie.

Wedding Cake: Julie Hendrick of Sweet Magnolia (Birmingham). The cake was cut with a Marshalltown trowel, an iconic symbol within the archaeological community.

The bottles are from the couple’s own collection that was recently started because of Mary Lee’s interest in historical archaeology and Steven’s interest in glass blowing.

Bridal Gown: David’s Bridal (Birmingham)

Tuxedos: Mr. Burch Formalwear (Hoover).

Bridesmaids and Flower Girl Dresses: Susan Glass (mother of the bride). Susan also crocheted Mary Lee’s garter (a pattern from the 1800s) and embroidered her name and wedding date on her handkerchief and bridal gown. A locket holding photos of the bride’s grandmothers was wrapped around her bouquet. Mary Lee was named for her grandmothers Marion and Leona.

First Look Quilt: Mabel Lane Glass, a cousin of the bride’s paternal grandfather, at least 40 years ago.

Wooden Printing Blocks, Guestbook, and Earrings: Etsy

Get Away Car: 1952 Ford Customline which was provided by George Brasher, a long-time friend of the bride’s family.

Signpost: The signpost was made by the couple and the bride’s parents the weekend before the wedding. Steven and Mary Lee salvaged wood for the signs from an old abandoned property. Most of the pieces came from an old fence and the “Welcome” sign was part of a drawer. Steven cut the wood to point at one end and painted them with a lime whitewash. Steven, Mary Lee, and her mother painted the different signs with black oil paint.

Hairstyling: Debbie Hertzfeldt of The Hair Saloon (Huntsville). Debbie also styled Mary Lee’s hair for her bridal portraits.

Engagement Ring & Wedding Bands: Bromberg’s (Birmingham)

Floral Design: Andy Hopper (of Kathy G and Company)

Catering: Natalie Andrews (of Kathy G and Company)

Instrumental Guitarist: Paul Hicks

DJ: Chris “Fuzzy” Peters
