Favorite thing about weddings in the South? Our favorite thing about Southern weddings is tradition. We are tickled by everything ruffles, pearls, lace, and pastel colors. Rustic chic with a hint of glam is our absolute favorite style! What’s a farm table without a crystal chandelier?
Favorite part of a wedding day? Our favorite part of a wedding day is the bridal party introductions. We love the expression on our bride’s face when she sees everything she’s worked so hard for over the past year come together. Ceremony nerves have come and gone and everyone is now relaxed and ready to party!
Best piece of advice you can give to brides and grooms? When working with a budget, pick one thing you really, really want and go all out!  Scaling back on everything may leave you disappointed and splurging on everything is probably unrealistic. Whether it’s your dress, makeup, or ceiling décor — whatever will make your day over the top special for you, do it.  You only get this chance once!
