Southern Weddings

Since one image board couldn’t possibly do this wedding justice, we’re back with Part II of Poonam + Chirag’s wedding extravaganza.  Many more glamorous pics to peruse thanks to the ultra-talented husband and wife duo at Our Labor of Love, but what I really love is the bride’s dramatic bouquet of roses, calla lilies and rich gold accents, courtesy of Kebbie Hollingsworth Floral Design.  And the to-die-for jewelry?  Custom made and designed in Mumbai, India.  (Sigh.)  I have a bit (okay, a lot) more oohing and ahhing to do and I really hope you’ll join me again for Part III!

Describe your wedding flowers:  Our wedding flowers were mostly red roses and red calla lilies.  The reception flowers were all white mixed flowers (tulips, lilies and peonies) with green accents.
Describe your wedding cake:   It was four-tiered cake sitting on a bed of white hydrangeas with white sugar rose petals scattered on each layer.  Each layer was a different flavor because we couldn’t decide what we wanted.  There was italian creme, chocolate with kahlua, butter almond and carrot cake.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? The number of events involved and having to perfect the details for each one.  There were five total events and six wardrobe changes over the course of three days. Did i mention we also had about 500 guests?
Were there any wedding traditions or new ideas you included in the wedding? Rather than block off any hotel rooms, the majority of our guests stayed in large beach houses in Miramar Beach.  This was a lot of fun for our guests because they could enjoy the beach and spend time together.

Wait, there’s more!  Part III just might be the best yet…
