Photographs of Sweet Gum Bottom Bed and Breakfast

We had a wonderful Photographer (see info below) to come and photograph our Bed and breakfast. I wanted to share of few of the interesting photos that he took. These are not room photos ( I will post them later) but rather interesting angles and details of furniture and other objects around the B&B. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have. He did a fantastic job!

These are the petals on my antique pump organ. I love the way the sun was coming in on them!

Vanity in the Kennedy Anne Suite. A neat angle.

A Fall Wedding in Alabama

Sweet Gum Bottom Wedding Chapel in Alabama was chosen for Crystal and Anthony's fall wedding. The chapel was a beautiful picture of fall colors, all taken from nature's best!

I love the white and orange pumpkins, but the fall foliage that she used was just beautiful!

Following the ceremony, friends and family were invited to the reception center to celebrate this wonderful occasion!

Congratulation and best wishes for a long happy marriage!

There's a fall crisp in the air and a romantic getaway on the mind. I love this time of year! Our fall special this year is a crowd pleaser! Reserve the suite of your choice and receive a complimentary fall goodie basket. This basket is full of hot cocoa, marsh-mellows to roast by the fire (maybe even a smores?) popcorn, hot apple cider, and a surprise or 2. Hum?...sounds good to me!

Reserve your room today as these baskets will not be available long!

Picture yourself by a nice hot fire and a warm blanket. Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Chapel Wedding and Outdoor Reception in Alabama

Ryan and Natalie chose Sweet Gum Bottom Wedding Chapel and an outdoor reception for their beautiful ceremony. It was a gorgeous day and the temperature was absolutely perfect!

The chapel was decorated using sparkleberry bushes and adorned with lighted candles. Lanterns and candles illuminated the evening ceremony.

Being a musician, Ryan chose a life size, guitar for his groom's cake. It was a delicious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Natalie chose a vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting. Peach and ivory roses were placed on top and scattered on the Bride's table.

Thank you Ryan and Natalie for choosing Sweet Gum Bottom for your wedding day!

Congratulations!
