Coming from Texas: By Air: We recommend either Dallas to Bham directly or Shreveport to Atlanta to Birmingham By Car: It's about 8 hours on I-20 from Tyler to Birmingham We'd recommend coming in Friday night and enjoying the city. Saturday offers some fun things to do, like Pepper Place farmer's market or shopping in the many boutiques in Homewood and Mountain Brook. Venue: White Feather is a little under an hour from Birmingham so leave enough time to get there, park and find a seat at the ceremony We've suggested several hotels below that we think work well for the weekend.
