In 2016 we made the decision to start carrying retail products in our studio making it easier for brides to find those last minute things without having to search the internet or visit a million different stores. We have Rifle Paper Company 'Will you be my Bridesmaid" cards, Kara Anne Paper stationery and "Will you be my Bridesmaids Cards", toasting flutes, cake knives and servers, beautiful hand made garters and guest books. Within the last year, one of our brides introduced us to her company and these fun products pictured below.

Bride & Bridesmaid Champagne Flutes- These flutes are perfect for asking your bridesmaids to be in your wedding party, accompanied by champagne bottle of course or you can use them while getting ready on your wedding day. We can also have your bridesmaids initials put on the flutes or order them in sets of four to make a great hostess gift. Stemless wine glasses also available. 
Custom Jewelry Dishes- there are many ways to personalize these ring dishes by selecting up to two colors and choosing one of many monogram styles.
Cheers champagne flutes - perfect for getting ready drinks on your wedding day!
Disco Ball Cups- these  cups are great for bachelorette parties! 

To place an order please call us at 251-929-0485 or email us at info@jennalaineweddings.com. Some custom items take a few weeks to get in, but most things are available right in our store, located at 409-A North Section Street, Fairhope Al.

Come see us soon!

Happy 100!

It's been just under five years since I, Jenna Laine Rachal, started this little business and I am thrilled to see how its grown and excited to reach 100 weddings along side these fabulous ladies pictured above.

My very first wedding in Fairhope, Alabama was in November of 2012. I had just moved home from New York City a few months earlier with hopes of a creating a successful wedding planning business and was very nervous and excited to be helping Elisabeth and William Hays with their special day. The weekend couldn't have gone better and I thank both Elisabeth and William for placing so much trust in me.

 Here's a sweet shot from Posh Images of Mr. and Mrs. Hays, who have since then added a precious little girl to their family.

Since the Hayes wedding, four and a half years ago, we have added new members to our team, began selling custom stationery in the store, and also offer retail items, such as custom jewelry dishes, champagne flutes, custom guest books, garters, stationery sets, and more.

We celebrated our 100th wedding on February 25th, with the marriage of my dear friend Meg Perkins and Brian Wittendorfer. We actually pulled triple duty at this wedding. We were planners, bridesmaids and mine and Alexs daughters were flower girls. It was one of our most exciting weddings and probably the most stressful. Getting two two year olds down the aisle is no easy task, but it all went off without a hitch and it was fun having our entire team at the wedding to celebrate this milestone.

Here's an image from Meg and Brian's special day;

It has been a joy to work with so many brides, grooms and their families over the past four and half years. We have developed many friendships with our brides and with our vendors and we thank both for all the trust they put in Jenna Laine Weddings. I also owe a BIG thank you to my family for their support and letting me work so many long and late hours and most weekends. And to my amazing team, y'all are the best group of creative, kind and smart women and without you Jenna Laine Weddings would not be where it is today! We are looking forward to a busy 2017 and many more milestones ahead! Thank you for your continued support!

Thank you for a Great Spring & Summer

Before we launch into our fall and winter wedding season we wanted to take a second to say thank you to all of our wonderful brides and grooms from this past spring and summer 2016 season. We were busier than ever, with over thirty weddings all over Gulf Coast and enjoyed each and every one. We feel so blessed to be able to do this job and we have met so many wonderful people along the way. We take such pride and joy in witnessing two people as they exchange vows and make such a special commitment to one another. We wish all of our couples a long and happy life together as husband and wife.

Thank you for trusting us with one of the most special days of your lives. We hope we were able to create your dream weddings and many cherished memories. - Jenna ,Courtney, Alex
