annamarie + sam {married}

So this bride is near and dear to us because she is the last of 3 sisters to become a CC Bride!  This is so special because, over the course of several years, this family has come back 3 times to celebrate their love with us!  We can't help but feel a little sad that Annamarie is the last one!  However we are so grateful and honored to be apart of the wedding season in each of these ladies lives.  

Annamarie and Sam had a classic Kentucky Wedding with a little twist of some other Southern Sates that are near and dear to them.  They incorporated some great details, and some Kentucky flare, as well as some food and signature cocktails from Tennessee and Alabama!

Congratulations Annamarie and Sam!  We wish you a lifetime of Love, Happiness, and Adventure!

Words from the Bride:

As the third daughter to get married, vendors were easy for me to pick out- especially where to buy my dress! I had shopped in Birmingham and found a dress I really liked, but knew I couldn't pull the trigger on ANYTHING until I had visited the same shop my sisters had found their dresses (and am I so glad I did!!). I loved that I was able to share such an important moment with my sisters and mom, who had their own special moments in the very same shop!

Sam and I met in college at The University of Alabama, so it was really important to incorporate details that paid tribute to the state (and our respective home states as well, Kentucky & Tennessee). Our 'signature drink' was the cocktail of choice at the favorite bar in Tuscaloosa, and we used famous foods from each state to make up our entire menu. Another special detail was our cocktail napkins - since my married last name starts with the same letter as my now-maiden name ("C"), my mom offered us use of the monogrammed rice paper cocktail napkins from their wedding, 36 years ago. It was a wonderful tribute to my parents and their marriage.
