From our fabulous guest bloggers this week, Ami and Rebekah of {Elizabeth Anne Designs}.  How gorgeous is this!? Enjoy~ 
 
True Southern glamour can be achieved with the absence of color, as we see in this vintage-inspired inspiration board.  Gold, champagne, ivory, cream, white, pale blush, and black meld together to create an overall elegance and opulence.

Southern Beach:

True Southerners love the beach – and beach weddings, especially in gorgeous rustic locales such as the Outer Banks and Amelia Island, are ever-popular.  This board illustrates the quintessential Southern rustic beach wedding – muted blues, lots of white, and a hint of kraft paper neutral.

We are so excited to introduce our next guest blogger!  After a slew of emails about her first post, Elizabeth was thrilled when we asked her to share some of her wedding day secrets with you.  The greatest joy I have in working on this magazine is getting to know our beautiful brides.  Liz is certainly one of those brides who makes my days so fun.  It has been such a pleasure getting to know this incredibly sweet southern belle.  Enjoy!  ~Lara

Hello! I’m Elizabeth, a traditional southern bride with a twist. I’d like to share with you some of my vendors and ideas including how I made some nontraditional elements work in a southern and traditional setting!


The fabulous {Michael Norwood} from Orange County, California took our engagement pictures in Malibu, CA near where we now live (above).  Our pre-ceremony pictures were taken in the riverbed at {Belle Meade Plantation}, the site of our ceremony. Michael also set up a slideshow of the ceremony at our reception, held at the {Nashville Downtown Hilton}, where the southern menu consisted of country ham encrusted filet mignon, cornbread dressing stuffed chicken breast, fried corn pudding and of course, sweet tea! Hamburger sliders came out a few hours after dinner.

{Pendragon} wrote the one of a kind script for our invitations, and also created our signature “W” that we printed on everything from our invitations to our aisle runner, created by {Fairytale Runners}. We used the aisle runner at the reception instead of the ceremony to create a grand entrance for everyone.

{Mary Elizabeth Long} left my hair in soft curls while Beth Pilgreen of Atlanta created my natural makeup. My dress was “Lia” by {Melissa Sweet}—a form fitting satin dress with a trumpet skirt. And who says the bride must wear white shoes? After searching for the perfect white wedding heel I decided to go with the shoe that I’d definitely wear again–black {Manolo Blahnik} heels. I went with a bold antique bib necklace, but the most unusual element was the 4-piece veil I designed and my mother-in-law made.

More on my DIY projects such as invitations, guest book and favors next! ~Liz

    What beautiful pictures and great details of your wedding! Very romantic! You two make a lovely couple…Do you have any pictures of the necklace you mention? I would love to see a close up of it.

    I can’t wait to hear more about that fabulous veil, and interested to hear how you got the inspiration for using white for the bridesmaid’s dresses. Very unique and elegant.

    Elizabeth, Nice comments from everyone and I certainly enjoyed working with your design and seeing you so beautifully carry if off at the most wonderful wedding I have ever attended. I know, I know you married my son. What can I say. (Smile).
