Though the Southern Weddings gals created the My Kentucky Rose editorial for V5 before my time at SW, it has a special place in my heart for two reasons: 1. That cake by Lael Cakes is the most gorgeous cake I’ve ever seen, and 2. It’s one of VERY few editorials we’ve shot outside of the South, and in this case, the venue was just down the road from my husband’s hometown in upstate New York! While it was probably the last shoot from above the Mason-Dixon line to appear in our pages, it was certainly worth it to collaborate with the tremendously talented Jen Huang and Poppies and Posies. We hope it’s a sweet reminder that even if you’re one of our readers outside of the South, you can always add a little Dixie charm to your wedding celebration!

See more from this shoot in our editorial gallery–there are also links to behind the scenes photos and video!

It is my great delight to share today’s sponsor with you! Nicole and I had the privilege of traveling to the Oldfield Club in Okatie, SC (near Hilton Head) for our Southern Charm editorial from V6, and we were raving about it the entire time we were there — and in the weeks and months that followed. Driving onto their property is like driving into another world — one filled with unbelievably huge old oaks, gracious front porches, and meandering inlets. It would be an AMAZING place to hold a weekend wedding celebration.

The Oldfield Club has two unique Lowcountry venues to offer couples. The River Club is a grand plantation home on the waterfront with gorgeous old oaks and Spanish moss galore — the perfect spot to welcome your guests in true Southern style! The Outfitters Center is more rustic, with brick floors, shucking tables, and fire pits. It’s also on the waterfront, and would be an fabulous option for a rehearsal dinner or a more casual wedding.

All catering on the property is by the Club’s executive chef, ensuring delicious eats no matter your menu.

The Oldfield Club also has a variety of gorgeous large and small river cottage homes for guests to rent for the week or weekend. They’re the perfect jumping off point to experience all that Oldfield has to offer, including kayaking, biking, fishing charters, golf, and horseback riding. Nicole and I stayed in a cottage while we were on site, and truly, we did NOT want to leave! They’re each beautifully appointed, oh-so-comfortable, and outfitted with every guest comfort in mind. The staff at Oldfield truly goes above and beyond for each guest.

Need some more inspiration? We’ve featured two beautiful weddings that took place at the Oldfield Club on the Southern Weddings blog: Geneva + Luke and Laura + Chad! Both should give you a hint at what’s possible at this magical venue.

It may be the new year, but we still have a few Southern Weddings V6 tricks tucked up our sleeve! First up is this oh-so-charming and appropriately-titled editorial. Though we are all about weddings, in this issue we also wanted to offer inspiration for some of the girly “side parties” that often come along with them, like bridal showers and bridal brunches. From cake pulls to heirloom recipes, this editorial fits the bill. And thanks to an especially talented team including Jen Huang, Poppies & Posies, Elizabeth Demos, and the gals at Amie Decker Beauty, there are just as many beautiful and inspiring details as any of our weddings!

One of these beautiful charm bracelets is my mama’s, and another is my own! We love featuring personal family pieces in our editorials.

What a magical setting!! It was even more beautiful in person, if you can believe it.

Little touches to make the bride feel extra special are always a “do,” and these paper bells tied onto her chair with satin ribbon are a perfect, easy example.

Popping a bow on top of a buttery stack of biscuits almost turns it into a cake, don’t you think?

Not familiar with the cake pull tradition? Read all about it here!

We set up a little station for gifts to give and get off to the side of the table. Guests were invited to bring a favorite family recipe to stock the bride’s recipe box, and were sent home with a basket of tea cakes made from the bride’s family recipe! Looking for a prettier way to organize your own recipes? We love our new citrus floral recipe boxes!

Cheers to amazing friends and happy celebrations!

    This is such a beautiful setting for an intimate side-party! The little details truly make it magical, like those beautiful flowers on the back of the swing. The use of your family charm bracelets add a special, sentimental touch too! I especially enjoyed reading the linked post about the cake pull tradition because I have never seen that done here in New England.

    Love this! I’m hosting a bridal shower in February and just decided to do a cake pull because of this post! Are you selling those adorable paper bells on the back of the bride’s chair in the yard sale, by any chance? : )

    Each and every detail looks so pretty, elegant and unique. Loved the beautiful details of the chair and tables decor.
