{Elopement} Carrie & Shan

Carrie & Shan traveled to Savannah from Ohio to elope and were wed at Whitfiled Square. Since this was a destination location Carrie hired us months before and we helped plan all the details. They had a beautifully small ceremony and toured Savannah's beautiful city via horse carriage. On the way to the ceremony Carrie & Shan stopped to pose for a few picturesque photos in front of the Hull-Stoddard-Barrow House in Chippewa Square. The ceremony was beautiful and you could tell they were thrilled to be saying their vows to one another. Even though the witnesses were few, it didn't stop Reverend Joe from announcing them as man and wife to the entire city of Savannah. Tourist in their cars, passerbyers, and all of us cheered! It was a pleasure to meet this lovely couple and I wish them the best in their bright future together.

{Inspiration Board} Nautical Theme

Are you ready for some major sea worthy inspiration?! It's about time that I put together a fun inspiration board and when two people I know are doing a nautical theme wedding I figured I would round up some ideas. One of them is thinking about combining pink or blush with navy, which is such a nice combo that has many options. Whether you are having your wedding at the beach, yacht club, backyard, ballroom or restaurant or your style is elegant, preppy, bohemian, or classic I'm sure you'll like something on this board! What's your favorite?

Ceremony Ideas

Consider using ribbon, or monkey knots for aisle markers, maybe even shells or buoys instead of flowers for your ceremony. I loved this idea my friend shared of doing handmade fly fishing wedding boutonnieres for those guys that love to fish!

 How about a boat for containing all your drinks?

 Adorable bridesmaids gift idea!

 Write Mr. & Mrs. in twine?

The south is known for their delicious oysters and there are plenty of free empty shells for you to get your hands on. Why not use them as decor throughout your wedding. If you are crafty, try building one of these oyster shell chandeliers!! 

Last but not least, my favorite, guests were treated to a monogrammed jar of lifesavers, and a donation in their name to save lives through clean water projects in Africa. Love gifts that give!

This theme is also great for house parties, bridal showers, baby showers, or birthday parties too.

So many places you can go with it - LOVE IT ALL!

{Real Wedding} Katrina & Matthew

Katrina & Matthew's beautiful European brunch style wedding at the The Olde Pink House was by far one of the most elegant wedding affair of the year. Katrina found us at the Richmond Hill City Center bridal show and was actually our WINNER of a full service wedding package for a great deal. Katrina and Matthew are locals to Savannah but had many people travel from far away. Their wedding was an early brunch which was so different and I loved how they served mini pancakes, fruit plates, omelets, as well as more delicious food by The Olde Pink House. Katrina is also a talented designer so she created all her invitation details including the programs, escort cards, chair numbers, menus and dessert table labels. There were many fabulous details to her wedding I could gush all day! Although I'll spare you and let the photos do their job, but before I must say a huge thank you to all the vendors that made this day amazing, especially my assistant Nicole for setting up the dessert table and helping out a lot! Plus Leslie the onsite event coordinator who was also a great help.
