Pink Southern Wedding at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston, SC by Riverland Studios and Fraiche Event Design
Southern Wedding {Jodi + Jack} Capital City Club
Y'all, I've been dying to feature this glamorous Southern wedding but all this 70 degree weather just hadn't allowed for it! But today I just couldn't take it anymore and decided the time had come to bless you with this gorgeous Atlanta bash from Scobey Photography. Bride Jodi wore a stunning strapless gown she topped with a luxurious fur while the men wore classic tuxedos. After a traditional church ceremony, guests made their way to beautiful Capital City Club where guests dined and danced the night away!

Southern Wedding {Erin + Cheston}
I'm in the process of recovering from one heck of a crazy week that ended with yesterday's Bridge Run, so I figured since the soreness has kicked in and it looks like I'll be stuck to the couch for a bit, the least I could do is treat you to a dreamy Southern wedding. Maybe two if you're lucky! This Spring beauty comes to us straight from Texas at the Ranch at San Patricio. Erin + Cheston were able to incorporate beautiful flowers to achieve a romantic evening with plenty of oh-so fabulous vintage details. Thanks to Studio Eleven Photography for capturing all the loveliness!
Legare Waring House Wedding {Brookley + Jeffrey}
I've been dying to share Brookley's Charleston wedding at the stunning Legare Waring House and I feel like today is the perfect day! Since they decided on a destination wedding, the couple took their time planning every intimate detail and, with the help of Declaration Boutique, it sure shows! I particularly LOVE those adorable, South Carolina pillows that graced the patio chairs. Too cute! Brookley wowed in timeless lace gown by Allure Bridals while the men rocked classic black tuxedos. The sweet couple said 'I do' in a romantic, outdoor ceremony under the Oaks as officiant, Christy Loftin, pronounced them husband and wife. The crowd celebrated with Lowcountry cuisine from Cru Catering, cake from D'lish and the tunes of Palmetto Soul! Thanks to King Street Studios for capturing all the wonderful details!

Edisto Island {Sally Katherine}
This has been such a lovely week on A Lowcountry Wedding! Post after post has been filled with dreamy, Southern wedding goodness and from the looks of your pins, you feel the same way! Well, to keep with the trend, I've got another beauty for you that will make you go weak-in-your-pretty-little-knees. This one is straight from the coastal town of Edisto Island where Bride Sally Katherine spent her afternoon with Wild Cotton Photography at the romantic Brookland Pointe. It's everything we always ask for...beautiful bride, perfect lighting, Spanish moss and a charming ol' plantation house!

Charleston Wedding {Sarah + Will}
When both the bride and groom hail from the Holy City, you know you're in for quite the treat and Sarah + Will's Charleston wedding is just that! For starters, they enlisted the talented crew of Richard Bell Photography to capture their Lowcountry affair and their list of fabulous Charleston wedding vendors didn't stop there! Their touching ceremony took place at First Baptisit Church in Downtown Charleston before heading over the bridge to celebrate at Mt. Pleasant's Alhambra Hall. The reception was decked out in a classic blue, white and green color palette and accented with touches of sweet grass! Guests were treated to some mouthwatering Lowcountry cuisine that included shrimp and grits and pecan pralines!

Honey Horn Plantation Wedding {Jennifer + Rob}
So, I've been waiting for quite awhile to share Jennifer + Rob's Honey Horn Plantation Wedding. From the moment I first saw these images I couldn't stop gushing over this color palette...and can you blame me? Those bouquets are ridiculous! The fabulous Jenny Evelyn was on hand to capture the gorgeous bride and her dapper groom tie the knot at this perfect Lowcountry Wedding. I'm so in love with this wedding that I just had to know more, so I asked Jennifer to fill us in on some additional details about their big day...
So give us a little background on you and Rob...
I first met Rob at a church I visited with a few of my friends. We all went out for lunch after the service and he sat beside me. We had casual conversation at that point, but I had no idea he was even interested in me. I remember he was in a hurry to leave when we finished lunch because he was looking forward to watching a Clemson basketball game! We didn’t keep in touch until we became friends on Facebook. We began chatting and exchanged numbers after some time. He claims he asked me out to dinner while we were chatting on Facebook, but I didn’t think it was very obvious and I turned him down! Thankfully, he pursued me and eventually called me to ask me out for our first date.
Tell us about the proposal...
Rob planned the best proposal ever on December 19, 2009! He sent a package to my apartment filled with a beautiful dress and fancy shoes. The package also contained a letter telling me that I was in for an evening I wouldn’t forget! He explained that I was not to contact him and that someone would be there at 3:45 sharp to pick me up. Well, as I am reading this letter, I panicked because I hadn’t showered and it was already 2:45. Rob’s best friend picked me up promptly at 3:45 and handed me another letter that gave me clues to our first destination. We stopped at three places and, at each place; a note was waiting for me. Each one was romantically written, rhymed, and reminiscent of our relationship and the experiences we’ve had together. At the final location, Rob was waiting for me on the beach. He read the final letter and it was then and there that he asked me to be his wife. Obviously, I said yes! The surprises didn’t stop there – we picked up my dad from the airport then met the rest of our family and friends for dinner to celebrate!
Why did you choose to have A Lowcountry Wedding?
We chose to have a lowcountry wedding because we live here – it’s where we met, where began our relationship and we share so many memories here. Hilton Head Island also offers beautiful scenery for a wedding.
Out of the entire day, what was the most memorable moment?
The most memorable moment was the first time I saw Rob as I walked down the aisle with my dad. I couldn’t stop smiling! I also loved walking back down the aisle with Rob after we had been declared husband and wife!
Rob would say his favorite moment was the same and add that he loved the sound of the bagpipes playing as I walked toward him. The bagpiper was a surprise from me to him!
So, how did Honey Horn Plantation win you over?
We attended a wedding there together about a year before our wedding and it was extremely beautiful and very practical for a wedding. The large oak trees, the Spanish moss, the palm trees, and the dock by the water offered all the scenery you expect in the lowcountry. We also liked the ability to have the ceremony, social hour, and reception all in the same place but at different locations within walking distance on the plantation.
Tell us a little bit about your menu...
Our menu was all Lowcountry – pulled pork and chicken barbecue, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, green beans, salad, fruit and served sweet tea, lemonade, and water in small mason jars.
One of my favorite questions to ask brides is what was their favorite ________. I especially like to know, out of all their gorgeous photographs, which takes the cake. Obviously, you can tell Jennifer had plenty of gorgeous options thanks to Jenny Evelyn Photography but below was her ultimate favorite....don't you agree?
Looking back on your engagement and wedding, is there any advice you would give to brides in the planning process?
My advice would be:
- If you have a budget, do your absolute best to stick to it. Work backwards starting with how many people you are going to have attend the wedding.
- Enjoy the wedding and the wedding planning process – do your best not to get caught up on every little detail, especially as the wedding day gets closer.
- Remember this is your day as a couple – you cannot please everybody!
- The most important advice is to keep your focus on the marriage and commitment you are about to make instead of just the planning of one day.
