{Arkansas} A Colorful Vintage Wedding with Southern Charm

picnic weddings, colorful vintage weddingsBenjamin and Alexandra’s southern wedding in Arkansas called upon a marigold and pewter color scheme, flowers picked from local gardens, and a sense of family.  They were absolutely able to pull together a stunning handmade wedding that included vintage heirlooms, lawn party games, and colorful DIY accents.  Hand fans and vintage handkerchiefs were presented to guests to combat the potential heat of the outdoor wedding, while edible candy buttons decorated their wedding cake at the reception.  And as a reminder of their dating days, favors of individually wrapped Life Savers were present for guests to take home with them.

{South Carolina} A Charleston Destination Wedding by Sally Watts Photo

Charleston weddings, lowcountry weddingsFrom Sally Watts Photo: “Kellie and Russ live in Charlotte, and planned a destination wedding in Charleston, South Carolina.  Kellie is Southern and Russ is from England, so the RiverOaks venue was perfect for them.  It’s a blend of Lowcountry waterfront hospitality and English cottage charm.

{Virginia} A Southern Military Wedding by Rachael Foster Photography

stained glass weddings, wedding blog, military weddingsWe hare in love with the military wedding goodness Rachael Foster Photography was able to capture in Virginia.  The bride and groom combined traditional wedding elements with family heirlooms — a garter made by the bride’s mama, a family locket, and photos of both families.  The groom’s cake was an ode to his military career, and the gorgeous stained glass windows of the church where they wed happened to be the childhood church of the bride!
