Jess + Zach {Minnesota Wedding}

Pin It

I’m in love with Jess + Zach’s effortless Minnesota wedding from Shea Christine Photography. The couple wed had perfect weather this past September as their recited their vows under a beautiful gazebo along the banks of the Mississippi River. Afterwards, the newlyweds hosted their 100 guests in an intimate reception at Riedel Farm Estate in Fridley, Minnesota. Their theme of simplicity ran throughout the wedding by using a mix of hydrangeas and burlap for decor. Shea put it best when she said, “This wedding was simple & beautiful. It goes to show how the right venue & simplicity can go a long way.”

Catherine + Michael {Savannah Wedding}

Before we get to today’s Southern wedding, I just wanted to remind all of our Lowcountry vendors to check back later this afternoon for our big giveaway! Catherine + Michael wed this past June at the charming Mackey House in the Savannah Lowcountry. Photographed by the talented Chris Isham, this effortless wedding boasted a classic Southern color palette of pink, green and white that the team at Kiwi Fleur translated perfectly into some stunning florals…just check out Catherine’s bouquet! Peonies and orchids? Yes, please! Catherine looked timeless in her lace wedding gown with hair swept up. In her shoe she carried a silver sixpence to complete the “Something Old, Something New…” poem. The duo opted to see each other prior to the ceremony and the combination of the adorable pair and the picturesque backdrop made for some seriously frame-able images.

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, that’s Dave from Lady A, it’s Michael’s brother…

Sarah + CJ {Fort Worth Wedding}

Just in case you haven’t heard, tomorrow we’ve got an exciting giveaway for our favorite Lowcountry Wedding Vendors…so don’t miss it! Today’s wedding was captured by David Lunt Photography at the Marty Leonard Chapel in Fort Worth, Texas. In case you’ve never been, Fort Worth is a pretty awesome city. It’s got that Southern ease mixed with a Western Charm which is exactly why Sarah + CJ had to travel all the way from Kentucky just to tie the knot in this fabulous Texas city. Since having a destination wedding meant that some of their guests would be unable to make the trip, Sarah asked they donate a broach to her which she then made into her beautiful bouquet. Sarah + CJ let their personalities shine through in their retro chic wedding. Sarah looked ah-mazing in her Marilyn Monroe-esque gown, fab red shoes and gorgeous birdcage veil while CJ stayed true to himself by sporting a pair of black Chuck Taylors.

We’ve all departed a wedding with a sack of jordan almonds or a creepy keychain with the bride and grooms face smeared all over it (okay, maybe only I’ve gotten this!)…and what do we end up doing with these? Toss them in the closest trash receptacle, of course. Southern Wedding favors are the last impression your guests will have of your wedding and you don’t want to send them off with something lame. So, to get your creative juices flowing, we’ve compiled some of our favorite Lowcountry wedding favors that your Charleston, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach guests will be sure to love.

Savage Menagerie {Styled Shoot}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / No Comments

I just love these images from Alabama based GRITZ Photography. Appropriately named Savage Menagerie, this shoot took place at a private residence in picturesque Magnolia Springs, Alabama. Model Juliette looked stunning in a form fitting Jessica McClintock gown and Lucky Brand jewelry. Even when Optimus, a rambunctious baby Caracal, and Tron, a sweet Cougar cub, came out to play Juliette still managed to look gorgeous and comfortable.

Heather + Jeff {Alabama Anniversary}

by A Lowcountry Wedding / 4 Comments

Alabama couple Heather + Jeff are about to make a big move up North, but before crossing the Mason Dixon Line, they decided an Anniversary Session was in order to celebrate their Southern ways. With the help of the talented Jacquelyn Jackson and their sweet puppy Brady, the crew incorporated crisp weather and pumpkins into their Fall-Inspired Session. They started the day at the couple’s first home and then headed down the street to a quintessential Southern cotton field.
