Southern Wedding {Katy + Jason}

Pin It

Ashley of Live. Laugh. PHOTOGRAPH sent over this perfectly charming Southern wedding, complete with cowboys boots and live country music…Texas style! The couple, Katy + Jason, were wed June 11, 2011 just outside of Dallas at Loma Linda in beautiful Rockett, Texas. Doesn’t Katy just look flawless in her strapless gown, pearls and cowboy boots? I love it. The rustic venue allowed for a touching outdoor ceremony under the trees. After, the guest made their way to the reception where the dined on Randy’s BBQ’s signature cuisine and later indulged in their choice of two fabulous desserts by Dallas Affaires Cake Co. To top of the evening, the guests danced the night away to the tunes of Chad McBride and The Drifters.

All in all, I’d have to say it was a perfect Texas Wedding…

Jennifer + Jonathan {Southern Engagement}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / No Comments

Pin It

Even though I have always been a fan of their old school bottling, I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I’ve never, EVER, tasted the inherently Southern concoction, Cheerwine. Somewhere along the way my Southern upbringing seemed to miss that one which I think is only fair to blame on my parents’ Midwestern roots. Unlike yours truly, today’s outdoorsy couple, Jennifer + Jonathan, have had many-a Cheerwine.

The couple both hail from Salisbury, North Carolina (Cheerwine’s birthplace) and decided to combine their love of their hometown, Cheerwine and canoeing in this gorgeous rustic engagement session. Thanks to our friends at Connection Photography, Joseph and Andrea, for sharing!

Is it just me or does mini food taste better? Bite sized hors d’Oeuvres are the perfect sized morsel to serve your guests during cocktail hour. They’ll leave your guests with a taste of Lowcountry cuisine and have them begging for more by the time the main course rolls around. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite appetizers to kick off your wedding reception and even a few late night snacks. Jazz up your menu by adding a few of these options and your guests will be raving about it for years to come!

Stevie + Trevor {Southern Wedding}

I can’t wait for you guys to check out these vivid images the talented Evan of Purus Wedding Studios recently sent over. The loving couple, Stevie + Trevor, wed this past Memorial Day Weekend in Luling, Texas (right outside of Austin) at the picturesque Hillview Ranch. The combination of their rustic color palette, her stunning Alfred Angelo gown and perfect Summer light made for a day of enviable wedding photos. I just can’t properly put into words how beautiful all of these shots are, particularly the ones of Stevie + Trevor surrounded by the gorgeous Texas landscape as the sun begins to set. Enjoy…

Lowcountry Weddings {Specialty Drinks}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / No Comments

Pin It

I’m a big fan of specialty drinks. If done right, they’re the perfect welcome to your reception, especially on a hot, Lowcountry evening. The key is to find an appealing beverage that both women and men can enjoy but also something that won’t scare off who usually aren’t big drinkers. Go for a cool drink with a little color (not to matchy-matchy) and something that is easy to produce in large quantities. Take a look at some of our favorite Lowcountry concoctions from Charleston and Hilton Head and all the way to Myrtle Beach…

Southern Weddings {Ribbons}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / 4 Comments

Pin It

I’ve been loving all the ribbon detail brides have recently been incorporating into Lowcountry weddings. Ribbon accents give weddings that sweet whimsical feel and with so many ways to include them (ceremony backdrop, chair detail, getaway wands, centerpieces…and even swings!), the options are really endless. Brightly colored ribbons will add a playful element while more neutral colors will give your wedding that romantic touch.
