Real Weddings: Christina + Brent

Christina and Brent’s wedding is the perfect example of how a little rain could never truly spoil the beauty and love of a wedding. They started their celebration outside at Rust Manor in Leesburg, Virginia, and just as their officiant said “you may kiss the bride” tiny sprinkles started falling from the sky! Luckily, their reception was held inside and guests celebrated as the rain poured down outside. There was no shortage of sunshine inside though thanks to the gorgeous, sunny florals by Holly Chapple Flowers! Smiles and spirits were certainly not dampened at this beautiful wedding as shown by these cheery photos by Genevieve Leiper Photography!

Real Weddings: Annlizbeth + Nathan

Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most beautiful and charming places on this planet and we get so very excited when we get to share a wedding from there with you! Annlizbeth and Nathan’s wedding absolutely did not disappoint. Held at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the couple and their guests were surrounded by natural Southern charm and stately trees dripping with Spanish moss. A beautiful and cool palette of pink, ivory, and grey complemented the beautiful green of the gardens, and the floral arrangements did not overshadow the beauty of the venue. A huge thank you to the wonderful Julia Wade Photography for sharing these gorgeous photos with us today!

Real Weddings: Sarah + Ethan

Sarah and Ethan’s wedding was personal, intimate, and infused with Southern charm. They incorporated family photos and mementos throughout the day, placing photos of themselves as kids on each of the tables, a large screen with family wedding photos at the reception, and (my favorite) Sarah pinned a brooch worn by Sarah’s great-great-grandmother and grandmother on their wedding days to her bouquet. I absolutely love the soft pink, peach and ivory color palette of the flowers by Jan Parker! Each and every one of these photos by Yellow House Photography is more beautiful than the next!
