Old Wide Awake Plantation Wedding {Amy + Carson}

Amy + Carson both grew up in the Charleston area, Summerville to be exact, so when planning their big Southern bash, they drew inspiration from the Lowcountry to spice up their Old Wide Awake Plantation wedding.  They incorporated navy and white for a nautical twist and then added pops of preppy pink.  One of the couple's favorite details was arranging their ceremony chairs in a circle around the bride and groom.  It was a symbolic way to unite their families and everyone coming together for their big day!  Thanks to Mell Bell of Richard Bell Photography for capturing this beautiful Charleston wedding!

Charleston Bridals {Haley} Richard Bell Photography

You know we like to make you smile right?   Well, we thought you might want to kick off your morning with a little teaser from behind the lenses of Richard Bell Photography.  Cause Lord knows we want to!  This morning we're sharing Haley's stunning bridal session that took place in the heart of Holy City.  The talented Mell Bell spent the afternoon with the beautiful Bride as they started their jaunt at the Waterfront Park where the picturesque Pineapple fountain made an appearance before enjoying the cobblestone streets.  Haley stunned in a strapless gown with a beautiful beaded bodice and soft veil.  If you think this is swoon-worthy, just wait til this afternoon when you feast your eyes on Haley's Mills House Hotel Wedding!  It's a Lowcountry stunner you won't want to miss.

Legare Waring House Wedding {Sarah + Philip}

With Philip in the Air Force, bride-to-be Sarah faced a bit of a time crunch as she planned for her Charleston wedding this past June.  With a little over a month to plan, Sarah quickly enlisted the help of Fraiche Event Design to assist her in bringing her swanky, peacock vision to life.  As luck would have it, the weather was perfect, so they were able to marry in front of their closest family and friends under the picturesque Oak trees of the Legare-Waring House.  With the house in the backdrop, guests were treated to a beautiful, Lowcountry evening on the lawn where bold jewel tones graced the tables and the simple lighting set the mood.  Thanks to Mell Bell of Richard Bell Photography for capturing this stunning, Lowcountry Wedding!

Charleston Wedding {Megan + Ryan} Creek Club at I'On

You can call me a slacker all you want, but I'm officially throwing in the towel on this week and getting this long, holiday weekend started early!  To keep our Lowcountry ladies  tied over until we pick back up on Tuesday (yes, I said Tuesday!), we've got a fabulous Charleston wedding captured by Mell Bell of Richard Bell Photography to share.  Before I even took a peek at the pictures, I read through the list of talented vendors and stunning venues that were involved in this Lowcountry affair and immediately, I knew it would be a wedding worth sharing.  Ryan was a graduate of the Citadel (Class of '05), so the obvious (and meaningful) choice for the ceremony venue was on the grounds of the campus at the historic Summerall Chapel.  Following their nuptials, the couple and their guests headed over to the picturesque Creek Club at I'On (one of my favorite Charleston wedding venues!) for a lively evening of celebrating. The guests were treated to quite the spread from Jacob's Kitchen, while Branch  Design Studio wowed them with gorgeous centerpieces and Cupcake provided an array of tasty treats.

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens Portraits from Richard Bell Photography

A few weeks ago we shared Rachel + David's sweet Lowcountry wedding, shot by the talented Mell Bell of Richard Bell Photography, that left many of you oohhhing and ahhhing...and I can't say that I blame you!  Well, today we've got even more of Rachel's bridal bliss to share with you.   Rachel selected Charleston's picturesque Magnolia Plantation and Gardens as the backdrop for her bridal portraits and I have to say it may have been the perfect decision.  As she roamed the gardens, Mell Bell was on hand to capture the blushing bride, her fabulous blue shoes, and the stunning scenery.  In need of more Southern inspiration, well don't worry, we got you covered!  We recently released the stunning first issue of A Lowcountry Wedding magazine and we've got a feeling you'll be head-over-heels in love.  You'll find our favorite bouquets, inspiration shoots from the South Carolina Aquarium and Marion's in the French Quarter and 13 Real Lowcountry Weddings!
