Southern Wedding {Heidi + Aaron}

HR

Recently, Raleigh photographer Carolyn Scott sent over Heidi + Aaron’s April nuptials and I just couldn’t wait to post this charming Spring wedding.  The couple said ‘I do’ at the Raleigh Rose Garden and couldn’t have selected a more beautiful ceremony location.  With the gardens in full bloom, Kellie looked stunning in her strapless gown accessorized with a sweet birdcage veil, while the maids donned apple green dresses that perfectly complimented this springtime affair.  From there, they moved the party to lovely Sheraton Raleigh Hotel where they enjoyed the rest of the evening surrounded by the Raleigh skyline.

The groom’s mother and uncle were dealt the colossal task of arranging the bouquets and flower arrangements after a storm in the South delayed the shipment of the wedding flowers..I think they did a fabulous job!

Part II: Lowcountry Plantations

HR

In our effort to better assist Charleston brides in choosing the perfect vendors and venues for their big day, we’ve started rounding up a list of the local  Lowcountry Plantations (see Part I here).   This week we’re highlighting properties from Pawleys Island down to Yemassee…a few that even date back to pre-Civil War days.

 

Magnolia Plantation & Gardens
Situated on the banks of the Ashley River, Magnolia Plantation & Gardens offers three beautiful venue options, as well as, two sites for outdoor ceremonies and multiple spots to tent.  The different locations welcome parties ranging in size from 50-400 guests.  With an array of flowers in bloom every season, the Gardens  provide a breathtaking backdrop for a picture perfect wedding day
