You’ve got to admit that our Lowcountry brides have an impeccably elegant Southern style…I think they’re just born with it
So it’s no surprise they make sure their maids are dressed to the nines, as well. They keep it sophisticated with a sweet pastel color palette for a classic plantation reception or they’ll spice it up with bright, trendy patterns for an oceanside, Myrtle Beach affair. They’ll dress their Lowcountry gals in flowy, long gowns that are perfect for a relaxed Hilton Head wedding or they’ll keep it short with a sassy cocktail dress fitting of a Downtown Charleston soiree. Bottom line, stick with your oh-so-fabulous taste when choosing your bridesmaids dresses, I promise they’ll thank you for it later!

Charleston Marriott Wedding {Jodi + Greg}
Today, we’ve got a Lowcountry soiree from the team at Loluma that is sure to knock your wedding loving socks off! Jodi + Greg wed this past winter in the heart of Downtown at the Charleston Marriott. With the help of Cacky’s Bride Aid, Jodi was glowing in a strapless gown she accessorized with a pair of vibrant blue heels. Ash and Co. Bridal and Moore Make Up were on hand for hair and make up to beautify the bridal party. The men looked dapper in classic black tuxedos that were perfectly fitting of this classic winter fete. The couple said ‘I do’ in a swanky Jewish ceremony in front of their closest friends and family and the talented Joy Marie Photography was on hand to capture it all. Their swanky ceremony site was beautifully designed with gorgeous Chivari chairs, a petal-lined aisle and lots of warm, romantic candlelight. Before joining their guests at the reception, the newlyweds took a quick tour of Charleston while the historic downtown area served as a picturesque backdrop for some truly timeless images. They returned to the Charleston Marriott for what looked like a lively evening of dinner, dancing and some serious celebrating! Once again, Loluma rocked it absolutely stunning décor, jaw dropping centerpieces and a striking winter-y color palette. The crew from Tidewater Catering created a mouth watering Lowcountry menu that kept the guests wanting more and the always amazing Elaine from Elaine’s Events designed the couple’s gorgeous cake. To make sure their guests remember their Lowcountry wedding, the couple sent them home with their very own bag of grits and a recipe for everyone’s favorite, shrimp and grits!

Ring Bearers + Flower Girls {Wedding Attire}
I will tell you what…I love seeing the little ones all dolled up as they stroll down the aisle, introducing their beautiful bride. They’re so sweet and innocent and always look adorable which is why the flower girls and ring bearers attire is so clutch. Recently, I’ve spotted some seriously precious outfits that I just had to share with yall. P.S. I think I’ve developed a serious tutu obsession. Don’t even play, you know they’re darling!

Lowcountry Boutonnieres {Wedding Details}
As you all know, it’s Tuesday, which means it’s detail day around here…and today, it’s all about boutonnieres! While the rules are flexible, most couples tend to accessorize any important person that is not part of the bridal party which a big, beautiful bout. Normally, this tends to include parents, grandparents, ushers and readers. While most leading ladies tend to stress over the style and look of the flowers they will carry down the aisle, few give much thought as to what their husband-to-be will be sporting. Our best advice is to let the your personal style, location and season lead the way and don’t be scared to utilize non-floral materials such as feathers, cotton, fabric and even buttons. Hopefully, this round up will get your creative juices flowing..

Laura + Cory {Charleston Engagement}
If you’ve ever stepped foot in the Lowcountry, there’s a good chance you’ve developed a soft spot in your heart for the region and I can always see that adoration when checking out a couple’s engagement session. Arizona couple Laura + Cory are currently planning their destination wedding in Charleston and they recently teamed up with Shannon of Riverland Studios for this dreamy engagement session at two of my favorite locations; the classic Legare-Waring House and the laid back shores of Folly Beach. From their comfortable demeanor and flawless clothing selections to the stunning venues and romantic photography, every detail was pure perfection. Oh, I forgot to mention that Laura even decorated one of the abandoned boats of Folly Road to create a personalized backdrop!

Sarah + Tyler {Virginia Wedding}
Oh yes, Stephen Gosling has done it again with this irresistible Southern wedding he shot this past September in the beautiful state of Virginia. The couple, Sarah + Tyler, went with a natural color palette that complimented their outdoor, rustic setting. Sarah looked like a sweet Southern Belle in her dainty strapless gown while Tyler looked handsome in his classic black tuxedo. While I may have been drooling over the simple, yet stunning, decor in this wedding, I’m really in love with the images of the couple. The weather and sunlight was perfect and I don’t think they could have asked for a more beautiful backdrop. Can we say frame-able!?

Today’s beauty comes from Kayla Jones Photography at one of our favorite spots just outside of Charleston, The beautiful Island House…and y’all are going to love every minute of it
