We have tried to design our blog for our fans, friends, and family to keep up with what we are doing each week.  It is also a good way to get to know us.  Or maybe just a way that I (Angela) can talk up a storm without John getting annoyed.  We will see...

Also included are the Insider's Tips, which started out as a challenge to post one tip per week for an entire year.  We hope that you will find that they are not just the normal information you find out there in wedding world, but more unusual tips that can only be found when you live on the inside.  Ha!  Really, we just attend a lot of weddings.

Insider's Tips: Tip #32 - Pre-cut Cake.

DateMonday, April 11, 2011 at 8:51PM

I normally make it a policy to not put any tips that have been spotted at a wedding recently, but this one is actually from this past weekend.  

 

The bride and groom chose not to see each other before the ceremony, so they had to take pictures while the guests went on to the reception.  This can sometimes make things a little rushed, but this couple had thought of that. 

 

When the guests arrived at the wedding reception they were treated to the buffet of food and drinks.  This is standard - keeps them occupied and happy while you are finishing up pictures!  When the couple arrived on scene, they immediately cut the cake.  By this time the guests were ready for dessert, so it worked out nicely.  

 

(HERE IS THE TIP!!!!)

 

The great thing was that as soon as they cut the cake for photos and video, the servers brought out already cut slices and handed them out to people, while another two servers starting cutting the actual cake.  It helped for there not to be a line of people waiting for wedding cake!  Brilliant!

Jim & LeeAnn: Canterbury UMC | Vestavia Hills Country Club  

DateTuesday, March 15, 2011 at 2:18PM

What a difference a week makes!  No rain, beautiful clouds, great day!  Jim and LeeAnn picked a beautiful March day to be married in an elegant black tie affair at Canterbury United Methodist Church.  We were delighted to work aside Brandon and Stacy Gresham of Gresham Photography.  Their images always look incredible.

 

Guests walked into the Vestavia Hills Country Club to romantic lanterns hung from everywhere they could be!  Rustic and old English!  I was right behind an excited LeeAnn when the club allowed her to sneak a peak of the ballroom before whisking the couple away for dinner.  Nationwide Coverage started the evening playing like they were a lounge jazz dinner ensemble.  Very classy.  I had not seen this side of them and was very impressed! Of course as the evening progressed, their energy level only increased and kept the guests on the dance floor for the entire (exhausting) night!!!   Nationwide Coverage entertained like no one else could have!!! (I have free demos if you are still looking for a band) 

 

It was a night to remember for all involved!  I can't wait to see the edited footage!
