Hi y’all… Amy here.  I usually like to refer to The Lovely Find team as “we” and “us,” and it’s true that we’ve grown leaps and bounds in the last year.  I’m no longer just a little bit off my rocker for speaking in the plural all the time.  But, I had to come out of my wedding blogger comfort zone today to talk about this Charleston bridal inspiration.  You see, I actually had the opportunity to meet the gal behind Diana Deaver Weddings last year.

Shortly after a {very} early retirement from a traditionally respected career in the medical field, I wasn’t as excited about the future as I had imagined I would be.  In a way, I was treading water.  Over lunch, I poured my soul out to Diana about not feeling connected to my ideals anymore — after knowing her for all of ten minutes!

Looking back, lunch with Diana was a turning point for The Lovely Find, and for me as its’ owner.  Diana helped me to feel comfortable with myself, and with what I wanted to be known as… a wedding blogger.  “Both of your careers are matters of the heart,” she said, and that ideal has echoed again and again.  Thanks to Diana, we are comfortable saying that our philosophy on what makes a wedding “beautiful” is not just the quality of the favors or the cost of the wedding gown, but how much heart and love it has.  It’s not just about lovely weddings, but about lovely vows, lovely lives together, and lovely marriages.

I hope y’all love this sweet Charleston bridal session as much as we do {there’s my “we” again}; here’s to an amazing week of inspiring weddings in the South!
