Rustic Myrtle Beach Wedding at Tilghman-Boyce Cottage

Happy Monday to all my Lowcountry ladies!  We're kicking off the week with Julie + David's rustic Myrtle Beach wedding at the Tilghman-Boyce Cottage in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  You probably remember Julie's lovely Lowcountry bridal session we shared a few months ago.  We fell completely in love with Julie's effortless style, gorgeous gown from David's Bridal and her enviable selection of footwear.  Needless to say her beauty and creativity took center stage for her Spring wedding this past May...and it did not disappoint.  Julie went all out when designing her wedding day and added in countless personal touches.  In signature Lowcountry style, the couple married in a sweet, outdoor ceremony under a majestic oak.   Instead of a traditional guest book, guests were asked to sign a square that the couple would later have made into a quilt.  Each guest was also treated to their very own mason jar to use throughout the night.  Not only did each jar come with a whimsical striped straw, but also an adorable bow tie!  One of the couples first dates was at the ice cream shop in Calabash at the Calabash Creamery, so Julie incorporate a charming ice cream cart complete with all the fixin's as a surprise touch for her guests to enjoy.  Thanks to one of our favorite Myrtle Beach wedding vendors, Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt for a capturing all the pin-able details!

Boone Hall Plantation Wedding {Kirsten + John}

If there's one thing we love, it's Charleston weddings and when Richard Bell Photography is behind the lens it just makes us love them even more!  Kirsten + John tied the knot this summer in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina at the now famous (thanks to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds!) Boone Hall Plantation.  The couple met while both active in the military.  Even though the twosome were stationed in different states, the active  duty duo chose Charleston to host their destination affair.  We adore the rustic blue color palette they chose to complement the burlap details.  Thanks for sharing your darling Boone Hall Plantation wedding with us!

Lowcountry Wedding {Morgan + Austin}

Thanks to our beautiful new online magazine, we are SEVERELY behind when it comes to blogging all of our favorite Lowcountry weddings which may have been a bad thing the past few months, but you’re all in for a treat now!  Over the next few weeks prepared to be thoroughly spoiled with some serious Southern wedding inspiration starting with Morgan + Austin’s amazing Lowcountry wedding from the talented Jeanne Mitchum Photography.  This South Carolina stunner is the epitome of everything we love about the coastal South.  It’s effortlessly dreamy, wonderfully charming and makes us wish we were right there to enjoy that Lowcountry breeze.  We can’t get enough of this earthy green and brown color palette and rustic details, not to mention the burlap-laced vases, that amazing anemone-filled bouquet and all of that natural sunlight!

From the Bride:  We got married at my husband's parents' house off Abapoopa Creek on Johns Island. I made every decoration and all the favors by hand with ideas from pinterest and etsy. I spent hours googling free printable templates for heart shaped fans, gift basket tags etc. I have to say that the pictures are so beautiful due to the the amazing light we had and our amazing photographer. We were also very lucky in the weather department.

Boone Hall Plantation Wedding {Jessica + Jon}

I may have taken an unannounced vacay late last week (sorry!), and while I know I may have let you guys hanging, I promised it was much needed!  For starters, we wrapped up our first styled shoot at the SC Aquarium that went above and beyond my expectations.  I literally cannot wait to share what we created.  Then, we headed over to the Rice Mill Building to officially welcome the 1st ever NotWedding Charleston, and to say it was a blast is quite the understatement.  I wrapped things up with a weekend on Kiawah and now am ready to get back at it and deliver some serious Lowcountry loveliness :)  This first Charleston beauty comes to us from our friends Kristin Burke Photography and the gals at Ooh! Events.  It took place on the grounds of Boone Hall Plantation and it included everything we love so dearly...starting with those unreal chandeliers!  They incorporated a soft, feminine color palette with mason jar and burlap to create an effortless Southern evening!

Southern Wedding Details {Burlap Guestbook}

I just ran across this adorable, burlap guestbook idea from Formal Fringe and just had to share it with all my Lowcountry ladies.   Weddings in Charleston, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach tend to boast guest lists from all corners of the globe, so what a great way for all in attendance to show off the place they call home.  Pair it with a Firefly and Lemonade during cocktail hour and I can't think of a better conversation starter!

Southern Weddings {Place Settings}

If it wasn't for Pinterest, I'm not sure I would get my daily fix of Southern wedding details.  Luckily, with all the talented wedding vendors that call the Lowcountry home, I don't have to go far to get my pin on!  So, today I'm sharing a serious round up of some of my favorite place setting that have recently graced my Pinterest account.  Boy, do I love a good tablescape.  It adds an instant dash of elegance for any Charleston, Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head Wedding!  Don't you agree?

Southern Wedding at Cheval Manor Farms by Amber Davis Photography

It's no secret that we love some Southern, burlap details up in here, and for that reason alone (oh, and some seriously gorgeous photography), we're field trippin' it up to Tennessee for this one-of-a-kind Southern stunner.  I did a little happy dance when Amber, of Amber Davis Photography, sent over this wedding because I just KNEW you Lowcountry ladies would go crazy over it.  Bailey + Chris tied the knot this past October in an outdoor ceremony followed by a tented reception on the grounds of Cheval Manor Farms.  The whole event is laced with simple, yet beautiful, burlap details that give the entire day a rustic and relaxed feel.   They even treated their guests to a Lowcountry-esque boil, a Smores station and even sent them packing with sweet, honey favors! Oh, and how adorable are those Toms? Love!

Pink + Green South Carolina Wedding from Emily Lapish Photography

It's Friiiiday and we're wrapping up this week with an effortless Carolina Lowcountry wedding from the talented Emily Lapish Photography.  The bride, Crystal, went with a preppy, Southern color palette of pink and green for her Fall affair.  Her maids were outfitted in pink, strapless gowns that were accented with soft, green hydrangea bouquets.  The couple tied the knot in a sweet outdoor ceremony in front of friends and family before continuing the celebration with fabulous music, food and adorable burlap details! Crystal + Nat's love story spans eleven years and includes many tales of missed chances and attempted introductions. Thanks to Crystal for filling us in on all the details: "2010: the year God changed my life forever. I had been on more dates that I could count with dismal results to say the least. I had cried myself to sleep more nights that I care to admit to anyone and I was slowly slipping into the abyss of despair. One Sunday morning at church something changed. I saw Nat. I knew who he was and I desperately wanted to go over and say something. I called a friend the next day and casually asked about him. She took it upon herself to give him my number, but I didn't hold my breath that he would call...they never called. This time was different, he did call. He wanted to meet me for dinner. "At the end of the best date of my life - full of laughter, conversation and, to put it mildly, magic - he said the words I had always wanted to hear: "Can I see you again?" The next couple of months were like nothing I had ever experienced. He was what I had always dreamed of. Kind, attentive, fun. Everything I needed and had ever wanted. In November, after 6 months of bliss, my fairy tale came true. Nat Dinkins got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Through the tears and laughter I, of course, said yes!! In October 2011, I put on the white dress and veil that every girl dreams of wearing. I walked down the aisle to the man of my dreams. A man that loves me, protects my heart, and gave me the love I felt was out of my reach. In front of our family, friends and God, we began our life together. With God as center, we'll embark on the journey we call life. Our happily ever after."

Alyson + Chris {Bentley's on the Bay Wedding}

Bentley's on the Bay is a beautiful waterfront venue situated on the picturesque Choctawhatchee Bay in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.  Last May, Bentley's was the venue of choice to host Chris + Alyson's rustic Southern wedding.  Their wedding day was designed to a southern 'T' and I just know you guys are going to go crazy over these oh-so lowcountry wedding details and fabulous images from Dede Edwards Photography.  With the help of florist Cari DeGregorio, Alyson's achieved a gorgeous neutral color palette combined with our favorite classic southern elements: burlap, driftwood and cotton.  Basically, it's the perfect coastal wedding.
