LulaKate offers a variety of stunning bridesmaids dresses that come in any shade you can imagine and will flatter every body shape. You should also keep in mind that LulaKate designs can also double as your rehearsal dinner or getaway attire (I donned the Maggie for my pre-wedding day affair)…they’re the perfect cocktail dress. Not only has LulaKate mastered the bridesmaid dress but now they’ve ventured into bridal gowns, as well. Much like their bridesmaid dresses, their high quality, stylish gowns have great shape.

Hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend! We wanted to kick off the week with Erika + Sean’s All American engagement session. Since both the bride and groom are currently in the military for aviation, the Fantasy of Flight Museum in Polk City, Florida was the perfect spot for Fishy Face Studios to capture the sweet couple with these rare, vintage aircrafts.

The jumper the groom is sporting is Erika’s father’s old military attire.

Fishy Face Studios is husband/wife team located in Central Florida

but available for destination weddings across the country.

While I’m usually not a huge fan of the color red, even though I will rock it all football season long (Go Dawgs!), I almost died when I found this darling little frock while perusing the internet the other day. I love it. The print, pattern…everything. It’s so vibrant and cheery which is exactly why this fun red and aqua color palette is always a huge hit at a big Charleston wedding! Check out our round up of our favorite red + aqua wedding details…which one’s your fav?

As downtown’s premiere bridal salon, Maddison Row offers Lowcountry brides a sophisticated experience complete with first-class service, top designers, timeless gowns and polka dots…lots of polka dots!

So, needless to say when we heard last week that Maddison Row will be hosting a Heidi Elnora trunk show on June 17th and 18th, we thought it sounded like a match made in Lowcountry Heaven. Not only will Charleston brides have the opportunity to check out the new 2011 Heidi Elnora collection (see below), but they’ll also have the opportunity to meet the sweet designer herself.

We caught a glimpse of Heidi’s designs this spring when she was the featured designer at Charleston Fashion Week’s Bridal Show and we’ve been patiently waiting for her return to Charleston ever since! Her 2011 collection provides Southern Belles with dreamy, feminine gowns complete with that Lowcountry ease…

Charleston Wedding {Puppy Attire}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / 4 Comments

Pin It

I’m a sucker for any wedding that includes a dog. After seeing all of these keepsake images of a bride with her dog(s), I kinda regret not having my little pup, Huckleberry, around the day of our wedding. It was probably for the best since I’m sure he would have misbehaved (he’s a jumper AND a licker). I know some people think it’s strange to dress up dogs but don’t tell me you don’t like it when they sport their formal attire. We’ve rounded up quite a few wedding day pooches and dressed in their Sunday best and even provide our favorite place to find their perfect accessories! I do love seeing a Lowcountry pooch in a bowtie!

silly buddy…

Thanks to Charleston bride-to-be Jen, I found this awesome Etsy Shop, Silly Buddy. Based out of Chicago, Silly Buddy provides a wide array of collars, leashes and bowties! Check out the website to see sweet Buddy himself model the large variety of sizes, colors and patterns. How precious is Buddy? Such a stud.

Hailey + Justin {Charleston Engagement}

I was planning on posting this next week but since Hailey is currently in Charleston taking care of some wedding details and nailing down some vendors, I thought today would be more appropriate. Hailey and Justin are getting married next April and have booked the talented Stephen Blackmon to document their wedding day. Recently, the fun lovin’ couple met up with Stephen as he captured their sweet smiles on a picture perfect day…
