Check out our new store products

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!

Cheers to the next 100!

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

Rebranding with the Best

As you all know by now, we have rebranded the business as Jenna Laine Weddings, which required a lot of work and we could not have done it without the help of some very talented people. For todays blog post, I wanted to take a minute to thank the businesses and individuals who helped to rebrand us and reprint our stationery, signs, business cards, and so much more! 

First, lets start with Hadley Binion Designs. She is was the brains behind the new logo and our awesome new brand! We started with a brainstorming meeting, followed by a preview meeting and then by our third meeting she had completed the logo and the branding board and it was a perfect representation of our business and the image we want to convey to our clients. It took very little effort on our part, which was great, due to our busy schedule. From there, Hadley designed our fabulous business cards, stationery, and social media post (those will be up on our Instagram and Facebook soon). She also added a boarder to our wedding planning information package. Here are some photos of Hadley's amazing work! Thank you Hadley! 

Amanda Comer at 5A Multi Media created our new website. While our previous  website did a great job for us over the past four years, we thought that along with our new brand, we should start from scratch and create something fresh and new that coordinated with our new brand. Amanda took all of our 'wants' and 'must haves' and designed out dream site! We feel that this new site has a clean and professional look and is easy to navigate. Website building is not something we claim to be good at, so having Amanda there to  lead the way was a huge help. She even took the time to sit down with us to explain how to update photos, blog post and content so we can now manage the site on our own, but is sure is nice to know that Amanda is just a call away should we get stuck!

Jubilee Print Design is responsible for our gorgeous signage. We sent Judd our new logo and branding board and he did the rest and within a week or two the signs were up. We now have a door logo, hanging building sign and a road sign. You can see us coming and going as you drive down North Section Street. 

Weezie B Designs has helped us with our marketing materials. They did new tanks and t-shirts, which you can purchase in the store, notepads for new client gifts, new name tags for our staff, tags for our merchandise, gold JL stickers and a car magnet. All the ladies of Weezie B Design were wonderful to work with and were able to get us all of our products within just a few weeks. We sent them the new logo and branding board and they came up with the rest!  Thank you Weezie B Designs! 

We want to extend a HUGE thank you out to all of these vendors who helped us re launch our company. Jenna Laine Weddings is now looking better than ever thanks to you!  

Best Wishes,

Jenna Laine Weddings

Meet our Team

Jenna Laine Weddings has been in business since November of 2012, and time has really flown by. In the beginning, Jenna operated the business by herself, but as Jenna Laine Weddings began working on more and more events, sometimes multiple events in the same weekend, Jenna added talented associates to her team.

Welcome to our new website

Welcome to our new blog and thank you for reading! So far 2016 has been full of great changes and many blessings. We have so much to tell you, but where to begin? 

First, we are no longer Weddings and Events by Jenna Laine. We found that this name and logo were great over the past four years, but maybe a little long and had become a little outdated, so out with the old and in with the new we said! We are now operating as Jenna Laine Weddings and we have a new chic logo, all thanks to Hadley Binion, owner of Hadley Binion Designs, branding guru. What do you think? 

Second, we moved offices. While we loved our old location and its big open layout, we are really excited about this new space and all it has to offer. As you walk into the door you are now greeted by a waiting area and our fabulous merchandise. Closed off from the entry is our design room. This is where all the magic happens in designing your wedding and/or your custom stationery. We are excited for this section that will give us a little more privacy while we meet with our wonderful clients and allows for other walk ins or early arrivals to wait and shop in a separate space. In the very back is our office and storage room (AKA our mess). We are open Monday - Friday 10-5:00, although sometimes we close early due to weddings later in the week. We appreciate a pre scheduled appointment, but walk ins are always welcome. Come see us at;

Third, since January 2016 we decided to carry wedding accessories within the store. We offer these to all of our clients, as well as any bride or shopper around town or visiting. We have delicate handmade garters, Rifle Paper Company stationery and calendars, ring pillows, flower girl baskets, favor tags, high heel protectors and guest books. We even carry a line of customizable guest books. These take about 3 weeks to get in, so be sure to swing by at least a month or two before your wedding to place your order. Most of our items are featured on our website under 'shop', so be sure to check them out. 

Lastly, we have a wonderful new website, thanks to Amanda Comer at 5A Multimedia. We love the clean lines and modern feel that our new site has. Working with Amanda was so easy and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. With our busy schedule and lack of technology knowledge, setting up a new website was just not in the cards. So, when I heard about Amanda and looked at the other fabulous sites she had created I knew I had to hire her! Please browse through the site and check out our packages, photos, shop and love notes from our sweet clients. 

We are so excited for all that 2016 has brought our way and even more excited for what is to come as the year goes on! We have completed 17 weddings already this year and we still have more on the horizon. Thank you to all of our supporters and wonderful clients, we couldn't have made it without you! 

XO,

Jenna Laine Weddings
