Southern Weddings

Tag: ruffled wedding gown

Although Ashley + Alex went to high school together, their courtship didn’t begin until “re-meeting” at a lake house party after college. Soon this playful duo was making plans to spend the rest of their lives together (be sure to read Alex’s adorable proposal that even included a card from their pup!). After reading their interview, I knew they’d have fun and sweet Southern details galore. Boy, was that an understatement! Just based off their koozie caption “sure as cornbread goes with greens, you’re the answer to my dreams!” I wish I’d been a guest at their big day! Then hearing how the entire crown at the ceremony enthusiastically responded with with “WE WILL!” after the preacher asked “Who would bless this marriage?” I am so thankful Reese Moore was there to capture all the joy since I wasn’t invited! ; )

I love these ruffly bridesmaids dresses — they even have a bow!!

Tell us about finding your wedding dress. My mom and I walked into a local bridal store in Irmo, SC (Jo-Lin’s Bridal) and my dress was hanging on the mannequin. I told the ladies in the store that THAT would be my dress, because it was perfect for dancing. After trying on a few others, I was finally able to try on “the one.” After what seemed like hours of staring at myself in the dress, we decided this was defiantly THE ONE.

We decided to do a first look to have a few moments for just the two of us before the ceremony began. It helped to calm our nerves and get excited about the ceremony. It was a very intimate moment, with our closest friends (my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law) watching from the windows inside. We were also able to get more pictures of the two of us together before the party began!

Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? No, but the preacher asked both sets of parents and the crowd, “Who would bless this marriage?” and the crowd responded with an enthusiastic “WE WILL!” What an exciting and awesome feeling to start our married life together. We were able to look at the crowd of family and friends and see all the faces of people who loved and cared about us and our marriage.
What readings, if any, did you have at your ceremony? Yes, Ruth 1:16-17 was read by my grandfather, who is known as “Papa.”

On the lawn at the reception, guests could play on corn hole boards, which were made by the groom and decorated with our favorite football team, the Carolina Gamecocks. We gave away hot boiled peanuts as the favor, along with homemade dog treats, glow sticks, sparklers, and huggers (koozies). Our huggers said “Sure as cornbread goes with greens, You’re the answer to my dreams.” We had monograms everywhere: my dress, the cake, the programs, signs, etc. From the wraparound porch at the reception, guest could enjoy a beautiful atmosphere of the creek with a backdrop of Charleston.

Tell us about some of the songs you used throughout your wedding and why you chose them. We invited a friend from our home church in Lexington to travel with us to the wedding in Sullivan’s Island. He played the guitar and sang “God Gave Me You.” The words perfectly describe how we feel about each other. At the reception, Alex picked our song. He chose “Hey Pretty Girl” by Kip Moore, because he said the first time he heard it, all he could think about was me. We have loved the song ever since it became a hit and he knew I would love to have our first dance be to “Hey Pretty Girl.”

Our cake was not only beautiful, but delicious. Molly from D’lish on Daniel Island created our cake. It was white tiers with small pearl accents on the bottom of each tier. On the second tier, Molly created our monogram in a circle with a pearl border. We had three favors for the guests: chocolate with chocolate buttercream, red velvet with cream cheese buttercream, and carrot with cream cheese buttercream. Our cake sat on a sweetgrass basket made by a very talented lady at the market in Charleston.

What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? What was Southern about your wedding? The groom and groomsmen wore cotton boutonnieres. I wore my sorority pin by my heart on the inside of my dress. My grandfather read a Bible verse and blessed us during our ceremony. My dad and our ring bearer wore seersucker suits with pink bow ties. Our flower girl went barefoot down the aisle. We served Firefly and Lemonade during the cocktail hour. At the cocktail hour, the guests were entertained by a gospel choir. We served BBQ, macaroni and cheese, rice, ribs, fried chicken, and many other Southern delicacies. My dad and I started with a slow dance and surprised the crowd with a shag to “Carolina Girls.”

How did y’all meet? Tell us your love story. We attended high school together in Lexington, South Carolina, but it wasn’t until June 2010—after we had both graduated from college and returned to our hometown—that our romance began. We “re-met” at a mutual friend’s lake lot on Lake Murray while celebrating Alex’s birthday.
Tell us all about the proposal! Alex gave me two cards and a bag full of gumballs to help me celebrate my 25th birthday. Since we had a long-running joke that Alex would propose with 25-cent ring, I suspected it was all a setup. The first card was from our Golden doodle pup Jax, but the second card instructed me to root around in the bag of bubble gum carefully. After some digging, I uncovered a ring box—with a genuine diamond ring inside—and I knew Alex’s proposal was the real deal. After asking “Does my dad know?” and receiving an affirmation, I said “Yes!”
When did y’all get married? July 27, 2013
How many friends, family members, and loved ones attended your wedding? 180
Describe your wedding flowers. Our wedding flowers were very light and simple. I carried a bouquet with white hydrangeas, pink garden roses, and pink mini roses. The bridesmaids carried bouquets with white hydrangea. The father of the bride wore pink mini roses with his seersucker suit and the groom and groomsmen wore cotton boutonnieres. At the reception, we decorated with white hydrangeas and baby’s breath.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Our favorite details of the wedding were the simple, laid back decorations. We loved the cotton and burlap touches around the ceremony and reception. I also love monograms so adding the simple detail of the monogram to everything was great!
Did you have something borrowed, blue, old, and new? If so, do tell! My something borrowed and old was my grandmother’s brooch that I attached to my bouquet. My something blue was my monogram sewn into the skirt of my wedding dress. My something new was a diamond necklace that Alex gave me before the ceremony began.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? We wanted to make sure everybody was happy! While planning, we worked very hard to plan so that each guest would have a great time, no matter where they were or what they were doing!
If you are comfortable responding, what range did your wedding budget fall into? $25,000-$50,000
What is the one detail or vendor that you were so happy to have as a part of your wedding? Our photographer! Reese Moore was absolutely wonderful. She was very professional while making me feel like she was my best friend. She was so easy to work with and took ALL the pictures we talked about before the actual day. I can’t imagine our wedding day without her there.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? The most memorable moment from our wedding day was standing in front of the packed church and hearing the crowd yell “WE WILL” after asked who would bless our marriage. We could feel the love for us as a couple through each loud yell in the church! What an amazing feeling knowing so many people care about you!
What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? Sit back and enjoy the ride. It all goes by so fast, so enjoy every moment. These are the times you will look back on and think about how loved you are by all your family members and close friends.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you most looking forward to about married life? We are loving everything about it. It is great to have somebody to come home to every night and just talk about your daily adventures. We are looking forward to buying land and building a house together in the near future. As one of the my kindergarten students said, “Love is when you follow someone around and you don’t know why.”

    Hello! I attended the Influence Conference where Laura spoke and was so envious of those who received the magazine. I have searched for the magazine and haven’t found it in stores. During her session, Laura told us we could see it online somewhere. Could you tell me where? Or how I could get my hands on a copy of your amazing magazine? It was very inspirational to see you at the Influence Conference!

Yummy Southern food (like friend green tomatoes!), a gorgeous oak trees backing both the ceremony and reception, and fun colorful details! Stacey + Patrick’s big day was a sweet reflection of their love of the outdoors (be sure to read their engagement story, even snow and a hurricane couldn’t stop Patrick from getting his girl!), heritage, and Stacey’s affinity to bright colors. She said she “wanted to have a whimsical feel to the wedding”, and I’d say that the mix-n-match centerpieces and colorful chevron runners completely fit the bill!

We’re delighted to share this fun day from Dana Cubbage!

Tell us about finding your wedding dress. I’m not one of those women who has known from childhood exactly what my dress, or even my wedding would be like. I consider myself a bit of a tomboy and until the last few years, I didn’t even like wearing dresses unless I was forced to do so! Needless to say, dress shopping was very intimidating for me at the outset. I visited maybe two shops before stopping in to the place where my sister had bought her dress eight years before. There was a dress on display in the window when I walked in, and I said “That looks like a fun dress!” I tried on a few, didn’t love any of them and finally said, “I want to try that one in the window.” I put it on and instantly loved it! I found myself playing with the ruffles while in the dress shop–it was so fun to wear! I wanted to be comfortable in my dress and wanted to have a good time at the wedding. This dress fit the profile perfectly for me.

By the look of this glamorous bride we see here, I don’t believe you were ever a tomboy, Stacey! : )

Did you decide to do a “first look”? Why or why not? We did go with a first look. From the beginning of our wedding planning, we tried our best to make the wedding what we truly wanted, and not just what was expected, typical, or considered “traditional.” We realized that this would be a great opportunity to spend a few moments alone together and really focus on each other. We knew how crazy and busy the day could get (it went by so fast!) and we truly cherished those few moments we had alone together.
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We did write our own vows, and we shared them with each other during our first look. There can be a tendency to forget about private, special moments for the bride and groom on the wedding day. Having a first look allowed us to spend a few moments together, but also allowed us to share our vows without having the pressure of “being on stage” in front of all our family and friends. I don’t do well with speaking in front of a lot of people!

I love bright colors and wanted to have a whimsical feel to the wedding. My bouquet had coral peonies, bright pink peonies, dusty miller, burgundy scabiosa, blush astilbe, red ball dahlias, red gloriosa lilies, bupleurum, white phalenopsis orchids with fuchsia centers and red anemones, hand-tied with a ribbon. Branch Designs did a fabulous job taking my thoughts and ideas and making beautiful floral arrangements. I would’ve been lost without them!!

What readings, if any, did you have at your ceremony? We didn’t have any readings, but we did have a great family friend, who was our pre-marital counselor, say a personal prayer for us during the ceremony, which was truly special. We had “10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman playing in the background while he was praying.
Tell us about some of the songs you used throughout your wedding and why you chose them. We used instrumental versions of our favorites played by the Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) for a few of the songs during our ceremony, and also at our cocktail hour. We played “1,2,3,4” by the Plain White T’s (VSQ version) for the wedding party procession, “Hey There Delilah” by the Plain White T’s (VSQ version) for the Bridal Procession, “10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman during the prayer given by our good friend and pre-marital counselor, “M79” by Vampire Weekend for wedding recessional, “Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole for mother/son dance, “Sunrise Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof for father/daughter dance, and “All My Days” by Alexi Murdoch for our first dance

What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? What was Southern about your wedding? Considering that Patrick and I live in Maryland and are from that area, I’d say the entire wedding was Southern in that it was in Charleston, SC! We probably best represented the South in the food we served. We had passed hors d’oeuvres of fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits, a mac’n’cheese station, and pan-seared local wreck fish (a South Carolina specialty) with succotash.

Our favorite detail of the wedding was: The venue was probably our favorite. Jacqueline at Sweetgrass Social Event and Design did a fabulous job finding the perfect venue, Legare Waring House, for us. I have a huge love of trees and wanted both the ceremony and reception to be outside. This venue couldn’t have been more perfect for us!

How did y’all meet? Tell us your love story. We met in college playing soccer. I played for a friend of mine as a favor, since his team never had enough girl players. Patrick was playing on the team that day. He asked me for my number after the game so that I could be on the next team he put together. He never did put a team together, but different circumstances brought us together over the next year and a half and we became best friends. We started dating and dated for five years before getting married!
Tell us all about the proposal! The weekend before the proposal, we were supposed to go camping in Shenandoah Valley, but Hurricane Sally hit the East Coast and covered our campground in multiple feet of snow! We both love adventures and trying new things, se weren’t going to let some snow ruin our camping trip! We had never snow camped before, and although we enjoyed the experience, it was freezing cold. We slept as well as we could in our tent that night, and the next morning, we planned on going for a hike. Since there was quite a bit of cloud cover, it was even colder than the night before. I suggested we just pack up and go home, but he insisted we go on a hike…my suspicions were piqued! We began our hike, walking along in the snow, stopping here and there to look at waterfalls and streams. We stopped on a bridge to pray and get something to eat. Patrick knelt down and began rummaging around in his backpack. I could hear plastic wrappers and I excitedly said, “Oh! Snacks!” He replied, “I think you’ll like what I have for you more than snacks.” He opened the ring box and proposed, and I instantly said yes!! I was so happy to be marrying my best friend and the love of my life!

How many friends, family members, and loved ones attended your wedding? 90
Describe your wedding cake or dessert. Instead of serving wedding cake to our guests, we wanted to have other small desserts to offer. Cru Catering provided our food and desserts and it was all so delicious! We decided to go with strawberry shortcake with fresh whipped cream and bourbon spiced pecan pie. For people who stayed late to dance and mingle, we supplied a s’mores station. Patrick really wanted to have a cake to cut, so we also had a small chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting supplied by Wildflour. We liked the cake so much during our tasting session that we ordered a number of cupcakes in various flavors for our honeymoon. They didn’t last long!
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? The biggest challenge was making choices! Although I dearly love Pinterest, it made it very difficult for me to settle on making decisions. I kept thinking that if I kept looking, I’d find something even better than what I had settled on previously. There are just so many cute things and ideas out there that it can easily become overwhelming! I had friends and family around to remind me that the wedding would come together one way or another, and that God had brought us together and I was going to be marrying my best friend!
What is the one detail or vendor that you were so happy to have as a part of your wedding? Honestly, everything came together so well and we loved every vendor that played a part. Dana at Dana Cubbage Wedding Photography did a fabulous job of capturing our day. We feel like we not only have great memories of our day, but we have wonderful pictures to prove it. She and her team truly heard what was most important to us, and made those things possible without a hitch.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? There were a few minutes after the ceremony and before our arrival at cocktail hour where Patrick and I were sitting in the house that overlooked the wedding. We were able to look down and see our family and friends and the beautiful set up of our wedding and kind of get a bird’s eye view of our day. It was an unplanned moment alone, but it was so fun seeing all of our hard work and planning come together and everyone enjoying themselves.
What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? Before you start planning, sit down with your fiancé and discuss what top three things are important to each of you. I feel that if you have that figured out, you can spend your time and money on those things, and the rest will fall into place a lot easier. Also, I don’t know how I would’ve planned this wedding without Jacqueline at Sweetgrass Social Event and Design. She was invaluable throughout the process and she and her team allowed my husband and I to truly enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. I would highly recommend having a wedding planner!
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you most looking forward to about married life? We’re looking forward to getting to know each other as husband and wife, which has a whole new set of responsibilities and roles for each of us. We love spending every minute together and thank God every day for the gift he’s given us in each other. We can’t wait to see what God has in store for us. :)

Amy + Bryan, Balitmore natives, might have a few Northern tendencies in their blood, but their wedding was full-on Southern. The two decided to tie the knot in Charleston, where Bryan surprised Amy with a getaway and a proposal, so there was plenty of reason to adopt the beautiful city as their own personal sanctuary. I adore that Amy + Bryan decided to go traditional on a few things — the ceremony music and the white cake (with stunning flowers!), for instance — but added their own twist with hot pink invitations and retro marquee signage. But these are all teeny details compared to the father-daughter dance. Amy’s dad wrote the song for their dance, recorded the vocals with Amy’s mom and played it back at the reception so the two could still dance together. How amazing!!

As Kristin would say, we’re sending Paige Winn a big squeeze for sharing this day with us.

Tell us about finding your wedding dress. 
I had a hard time deciding on a wedding dress — I had serious love for a few different dresses. Ultimately, my wedding dress had every component that I wanted. It was the prettiest dress that I had ever seen or put on my body. That was such a happy day and I still love it so much.

Did you decide to do a “first look”? We did a little behind-the-door chat. It was actually pretty emotional, and luckily Paige Winn still made our pictures look somewhat attractive! It was so nice to hear Bryan’s voice for a minute prior to our wedding.

Stems created the most gorgeous, beautiful arrangements. There are pictures of me crying when seeing my flowers for the first time! They were pink, girly, romantic, soft, colorful, and playful – just all around gorgeous. All of the bridesmaids had variations of hot pink, white, and light pink flowers with each of the bouquets wrapped in different shades of pink ribbons. My flower girl wore a flower halo that she donned proudly and looked so beautiful in. My bouquet was an amazing display of girly pink wonderfulness, wrapped in a piece of lace ribbon from my mom’s wedding dress. The guys all had white flowers wrapped in pink ribbon, and they looked so handsome wearing them. There were displays of single flower arrangements on the tables in antique containers, and mixes of color blocked arrangements on other tables. It was fab!

What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? 
Possibly my five-year-old niece telling me, “When the wedding comes, the wedding comes.” I’m still trying to dissect that deep advice. Another memorable moment was the look on my future husband’s face as I walked down the aisle. So incredible.

For my walk down the aisle, I chose Canon in D, a song that I had always envisioned myself walking down the aisle to; I think it is the most beautiful classical song. Way to go Bach! We decided on Brad Paisley’s “Then” for our first dance. We were debating some other songs for our first dance, and then this one sort of took me by surprise. I would hear it on the radio, and it would make me cry and think of our wedding day. I love when he talks about taking his fiancé to the place where he first met her to propose. Even though Charleston was not where we met, it was where we got engaged and the place where we were going to say our vows. It just felt right. My dad wrote me a song for our father-daughter dance. My mom and dad sung it and recorded it together so that we could play it at the wedding and my dad and I could still dance together. It was so sentimental, and more special than any other song I would have found.

What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? What was Southern about your wedding? 
We went about as Southern as us Northerners could possibly get, from the all-you-can-eat Sticky Fingers sweet potato casserole and pulled pork at our rehearsal dinner, to the shrimp and grits and hush puppies at our reception. We had stations, farmhouse tables, vintage china, and mint julep containers for flowers. We wanted it to feel like you were in the South, and wanted it to just be really unique and fun.

What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? 
Stay calm and be patient and polite. Also, know that it is all going to be worth it, and that the day will be better than you could have ever imagined. Have FUN. Lastly, if  at all possible, hire a wedding planner.

Our wedding cake was a four-tier cake with cascading ombre flowers ranging from hot pink to white. Each layer had a different kind of frosting. On the top of our cake were two little hand crafted clay birds. It was almost too beautiful to eat!

Our favorite detail of the wedding was: 
I think it would have to be our sparkler exit. We couldn’t believe our wedding was ending, but all of our friends and family were lined up with sparklers waiting for us to leave. As we were leaving, fireworks were going off for the RiverDogs baseball team. It was magical. We could feel the love from everyone, and loved exiting into an old fashioned London black cab. We would probably pay good money to be in that moment one more time.

How did y’all meet? Tell us your love story. 
We met in the huge Baltimore blizzard of 2010 after a few too many drinks. We randomly met each other in the street and had an instant connection, sort of a “right place at the right time” situation. We then went sledding at 3 a.m.! Our first official date came a few days later at my favorite Mexican Restaurant. The rest is history.

Tell us all about the proposal! 
The proposal took place in Charleston. I thought that we were taking a little trip to Connecticut to visit Bryan’s family. Literally at the gate for Charleston, Bryan jokingly asked me if I wanted to go there instead. I said that I did, and he told me to look at my boarding pass. After realizing that he had planned a surprise trip, I asked him if he was going to propose (sorry Bryan!). He told me that he wasn’t, and the next thing I knew we were on our way. After a brief shopping trip on King’s Street for shoes that were not Uggs and clothes that were not sweaters, we made our way to our hotel room. Bryan had a big “Will you marry me?” sign hung on the wall and had flowers all around our hotel room. Then he was down on one knee! I was so shocked!

When did y’all get married? April 12, 2013

How many friends, family, and loved ones attended your wedding? 
120

What readings, if any, did you have at your ceremony? 
E.E. Cummings- I carry your heart. 1 Corinthians 13. Each read by our aunts.

Did you have something borrowed, something blue, and something new? My something blue was my “I Do” stickers on the bottom of my shoes – a must have! My something new was my wedding dress, and something borrowed was the lace from my mom’s wedding dress.

What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? 
The distance and the travel. Thank goodness for the amazing Lizz Akerman at Southern Protocol. She made the process easy, but it was still challenging being so many miles away and communicating via phone and email.

What is the one detail or vendor that you were so happy to have as a part of your wedding? 
Lizz Akerman at Southern Protocol. She gets the job done and is so amazing and talented at what she does. We could not have done any of it without her. We are also a little bit obsessed with Paige Winn, and happen to adore Anne Bowen at Stems, Scotti Kline, and Sarah Murdoch at 428 Main.

What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? 
We are looking forward to buying our first house at some point in time and having children, and maybe getting a golden doodle. We’re also going to continue to have more adventures that begin with an idea as crazy as two kids from Baltimore getting married at a plantation in the South. Lastly, we are looking forward to just spending time with our amazing families and with each other.
