Southern Wedding's Blog

We love when we see litle tidbits of our weddings pop up in numerous publications. Southern Weddings introduced the Planter's inn to their list of vendors this week and used two of the photos by Kim Graham (http://www.kimgraham.net/) for their showcase. Check out the little article here (http://iloveswmag.com/sponsor-love-7/#js-proceed) For more images of this gorgeous wedding, check out the feature on The Wedding Row (http://theweddingrow.com/heather-tim-planters-inn/).

We loved working with Heather and Tim. There were so many personal details that all came together to make such an intimate feeling for their guests. Truly an honor to be involved with that event.

We put the Fleur in your party!

Meredith and Katie (www.timelessdesignsonline.com) just sent me this asolutely gorgeous detail of our flowers for this weekend for Ashley and Christopher's wedding at the William Aiken House (http://www.pphgcharleston.com/). We are so excited to see this one all come together!

Whats a QBlog?

So I know you have all heard of a blog (obviously because you are here) ... but have you heard of or seen a QBlog? Thats what Susie Q Varin of http://www.qweddingsphotography.com/ calls hers and it is the Q-test (cutest, am I taking this too far?) thing ever! You may see a bride smiling with her dad on the way in the church, you may see a fun 80's dance party, you may even see Zebra and Leopard carpeting! I can assure you of one thing though ... everything you see will be top notch! I had a chance to meet with Susie and crew last week and had a blast for our "five minute" (I think I kept her for longer than that becuase I loved what I was seeing/feeling/hearing) quick meet and greet. From Austin via LA (twice), San Fran (twice), France and Idaho, this woman has an eye for a good photo! Her gorgeous Couture Books, her fabulous catalogue style "Q-Zine" that she left, and not to mention the DROP DEAD GORGEOUS letterpress invitation she sent to us asking if she could meet up with us. This is top notch photography!

Check her out! She is available for travel, she puts forth that "something extra" for her clients with her close personal relationship and she does a great job. I am going back to the blog to finish my cup of coffe while reveling in her fabulosity! http://qweddings.com/blog/

So busy today with the wedding planner quarterly luncheon and Ashley and Christopher's absolutely stunning William Aiken House Soiree this weekend ... but I just couldnt resist taking a moment to post this beauty of a blog about us!

We love love love all that we do and we love that we do it for every single one of our clients day in and day out. BUT!, there is something so special when we are able to do it for one of our very own friends and honestly family (in a lot of ways)! Head over to http://kimgrahamphotoblog.com/2011/04/jennifer-brett-part-i-wedding-charleston-wedding-photographer/ to Check out Jen and Brett's amazing February wedding.

People, buckle your seatbelts! This is only part one and it is amazing! Cant wait for the next post!

Purple Perfection!

So too funny that this blog post comes right after seeing prince. Unlike Purple Rain (which can be pretty fun), we had Purple beautiful weather at this recent Lowndes Grove wedding. Claire and Daniel were such a fun couple to work with. They were very trusting in the decor and design decisions which really let us flex our muscles in that department. I think you will agree the outcome was Stunning! Thank you so much Clarie and Daniel! We had such a blast with you guys and your fantastic guests! These are just my camera shots, but I have attached a link to Evan Laettner's blog with some of the professional pics too. I cant wait to see them all!

Enjoy!

Such a great setting and the light was just perfect! This altar table was dressed in our dark pewter linens and topped with two garden urns filled with Bridal Wreath Spirea and Greens, including a fun surprise greenery from our grower in california which was the perfect shade of purple!

We were loving the chance to use such great saturated colors of purple for this wedding. These bouquets were such a conrast to the gorgeous dresses. Claire let us get really creative with the bridesmaid's bouquets which ended up being a living still life panting almost in their shape.

Claire chose to do various flavors of cake so that guests could really enjoy dessert at her wedding. Knowing her love of sweet things we designed this candy display for her as her guests favors. There were all different flavors of old school candy sticks. Everyone loved it!
