Sarah + CJ {Fort Worth Wedding}

Just in case you haven't heard, tomorrow we've got an exciting giveaway for our 

favorite Lowcountry Wedding Vendors...so don't miss it!

Today's wedding was captured by David Lunt Photography at the Marty Leonard Chapel in Fort Worth, Texas.  In case you've never been, Fort Worth is a pretty awesome city.  It's got that Southern ease mixed with a Western Charm which is exactly why Sarah + CJ had to travel all the way from Kentucky just to tie the knot in this fabulous Texas city.  Since having a destination wedding meant that some of their guests would be unable to make the trip, Sarah asked they donate a broach to her which she then made into her beautiful bouquet.  Sarah + CJ let their personalities shine through in their retro chic wedding.  Sarah looked ah-mazing in her Marilyn Monroe-esque gown, fab red shoes and gorgeous birdcage veil while CJ stayed true to himself by sporting a pair of black Chuck Taylors.

Lena + David {Tennessee Wedding}

 Lena + David tied the knot this past summer in picture-perfect Viola, Tennessee where Jaime of Our Ampersand Photo was on hand to capture this beautiful barnyard affair!  The couple opted for a simple outdoor ceremony that offered their guests a stunning mountainous view.  All the maids were able to select their dresses in varying shades of blue while he gents left their jackets at home for this Southern summer wedding.  Lena looked amazing in her strapless gown and carried the most amazing bouquet of flowers down the aisle.

Part II: Cakes

It's no secret I'm a big fan of Pinterest and while most days it's my favorite way to procrastinate, I have to say it's the best tool for anyone planning a wedding.  It's the online version of ripping out pages from a magazine and stowing them away in a wedding binder...basically, it's heaven.  So, every once in awhile I feel like I've compiled so many beautiful images that I just have to share.  My Pinterest is bursting at the seems! Well, today I'm sharing Part II of some of my favorite cakes (see Part I).  Hope you enjoy!

Megan + Andrew {Charleston Engagement}

In case you hadn't heard, just last month Charleston took home the Conde Nast Reader's Choice Award as "The Top City in the United States."  Not bad, eh?  Thanks to the relaxing salt water breeze, cuisine worthy of breaking out your 'fat pants', the genteel locals and a culture rich in Southern history and values, it's no wonder brides flock to the Holy City to say their 'I do's.'  I mean, could you ask for a better wedding backdrop?

Well, historic downtown Charleston makes for a pretty perfect engagement session, too.  Just ask today's Lowcountry couple, Megan + Andrew.  They spent a summer afternoon with Charleston photographer Monica Day as they explored quaint alleys, charming cobblestone roads and the beautiful Waterfront Park.  

It's everything I love about Charleston...
