There’s nowhere more beautiful than sunny Charleston, SC, and its historic venues and scenery, and no better setting for Alissa and Kyle’s classic wedding than the seaside Historic Rice Mill, the only one of Charleston’s three antebellum rice mills still standing.  The small terrace is a gorgeous spot for an intimate ceremony or cocktail hour, and the fabulous interior features …

There’s nothing more lovely than New England in the fall.  Vermont’s Inn at Mountain View Farm was the gorgeous setting for Kristen and Ben’s October wedding, which is chock full of handmade love!  These two designed their dream wedding on their own, but they couldn’t have put it together without the help of their family and friends.  Kristen’s father collected …

Real Weddings: Mary + Scott

Although they moved around quite a bit, Mary and Scott have strong Southern roots so it was no surprise that they’d want to incorporate lots of Southern elements into their big day. It was actually Mary’s dream to be married in a cotton field but when she realized the challenge of turning a cotton field into a suitable venue, she …

The stunning mountains of Beaver Creek Ski Resort were the backdrop to Jolyn and Andrew’s Colorado wedding.

I love unique and unexpected color palettes and have always been a sucker for mustard yellow.  If you like your mustard with a little dose of urban and glam, pair it with olive, dove gray, and just a hint of coral and sparkly gold.  Perfect for a modern autumn wedding!

Real Weddings: Beth + Charlie

I love vineyard weddings. Set among wine barrels and grapevines, Delaney Vineyards gave Beth and Charlie’s vintage-inspired wedding a rustic, natural feel. The gorgeous arrangements by Lush Couture Floral added (no pun intended) lush texture to the brick venue and complemented the organic surroundings. I’m in love with her bouquet! The flowers, natural color palette, and setting worked in harmony to create a …
