Happy Anniversary Allison + Jesse

Happy Anniversary

April 26, 2009

Allison and Jesse were married at Bleak House. The house boasts a 90' arbor that is draped with purple wisteria in April! What beautiful bride!

Allison was able to sneak into the tower for a few photos. The tower was used in the civil war as a post for snipers.

The purple decor perfectly matched the blooming periwinkle and wisteria! Allison just liked the colors, it was not planned to match what was blooming in the gardens!

Happy Anniversary Jennie and TJ

Happy Anniversary

April 10, 2010

What a crazy start to the wedding day... the flowers and food were stuck in Pigeon Forge traffic!

Why did the Titanic have to be free that weekend?!

In the words of Lynn, MOB, “At least the Titanic did not sink the wedding!” LOL:)

The guests made it through the traffic.
The flowers arrived in time for the ceremony.
There was time for pictures.
And what a beautiful day for such a sweet couple!

Thank you to Regina at Honeysuckle Hills!
These pictures are a few photos that we took, they can't even compare to what Regina captured!

Scott with Knox Vegas DJs also did a great job!

This is the balcony where Jennie threw loose flowers to 'All the Single Ladies' below! She gave them a high toss and they soared through the air! It was an awesome sight. Good throw Jennie!

Happy First Anniversary!

To serve or not to serve the sweets!

It's becoming more frequent to see couple's serving something other than the traditional tiered wedding cake. The bride's choice is generally a tiered cake, cup cakes, or a combination of the two. By the way, if you're thinking of cup cakes, check out the Cup Cakery for some delicious cup cake flavors!

The groom's cake was originally a chocolate choice to give a contrast to the bride's cake. Recent weddings have found chocolate fondue stations, cup cakes, cookies, a tower of Twinkies, cheesecakes, and even football stadiums are becoming more popular for the groom's choice. Since it's one of the few choices he makes, it should reflect him in everyway!

Look no further for UT stadium cakes than Daisy Cakes!

Chocolate fondue can be served on the buffet line or at a separate station. Often, cupcakes, cookies, cheese cakes, and other goodies are served around or beside the bride's cake. In this case, the question arises if you allow cookies and cupcakes to disappear as the tiered cake awaits the first cut. Some say it represents the groom's choice and should be served along with the wedding cake as the groom's cake would be. Other's say it doesn't matter- but does it? What happens when it's time to cut the tiered cake and all of the other goodies are gone? The pictures certainly look better when the table is full of goodies. Half empty platters are not recommended.

If the goodies are on a separate table, by all means let them eat! However, if they are served alongside the cake and will be in the pictures, save the dessert! Post a caterer or friend near the tasty treats to keep guests from snacking. Trust me, all it takes is one guest to dive in before all the guests are scarfing up the goodies.

Let them eat- after the cake is cut!
