Creative cake toppers are one way to make your wedding cake unique.

Alabama Brides Rate/Review Wedding Vendors

Recently, we have been meeting with brides and discussing the current economic climate.....it seems that many couples are a bit more nervous lately about their wedding budgets. We are now offering the opportunity to register for wedding photography package upgrades and extras.

Is this "bad taste"? We don't think so (and I am ALL for etiquette)! You are paying for you wedding vendor, and your guests are gifting you with extras. Examples would include extra sessions (bridal and/or engagement), engagement guest books, coffee table albums, prints, enlargements, canvases....you name it! We've had a very positive response, and many brides are already implementing this with their other gift registries. You can simply list the website on your shower invitations, or email it to family and friends (it IS considered bad form to list any form of gift registry on your wedding invitations, FYI)!

For more information, you can visit GigglesnapsRegistry.com, or contact me.

Valentine's Day seems to be the perfect day to get engaged or married - love is all around...roses abound. Personally, I did not get engaged or married on a special holiday but I love to hear stories of those who did.

This weekend I attended 11 or maybe 12 weddings on Valentine's Day. Rhodes Hall hosted weddings at their fabulous facility every 15 minutes - I believe they hosted 25 weddings that day in total. It was such a fun day and I wish I could have stayed for every wedding because each couple's story was unique and fascinating. I am writing a separate article about this event with pictures and video so keep an eye out for it!

A few years ago, I went to a wedding reception on Valentine's Day. The actual ceremony was at a church but only family were invited. The reception for friends was just at a local neighborhood pub - no private room or anything. This was a second wedding for both the bride and groom so they chose something small, informal and very sweet. Everyone cheered when they arrived at the pub and it was truly a festive occasion. Lots of impromptu toasts...hugs and smiles all around. The couple looked very happy.

If you got engaged or married on Valentine's Day, please share your story with us.
