Southern Wedding

Hello my friends! I’m doing a flashback today because Emma and Lucy Jean were staying with us for a couple of days and I spent time away from the computer 🙂 

Like all weddings, Southern Weddings are full of charm. Today I’m going to show you a few photos of my daughter and SIL’s wedding.  Bethany and Darren wanted a outdoor wedding in a place that felt beautifully southern. They settled on Wide Awake Plantation in South Carolina. I think the lazy river and the gorgeous Live Oaks won them over.

The lanterns were a beautiful touch…

She wanted this little set up….vintage fabric and chair for photo-ops!

Turned out pretty special I think and fit in with the ‘southern wedding ‘ theme.

****LOTS of emails come in every year about Bethany’s dress! Here’s the 411!   It’s Marisa by Tamara Kristen

The flowers Bethany used were soft pink hydrangeas, pink dahlias, and pink peonies…

I caught a tiny spotted guest on my menu!

All the dinner plates were ones we found at antique stores…all different and each with their own story~the different china would be wonderful for a baby shower too!

The place-cards were adorable birds nests with tiny birds tucked inside~a cute parting gift and could be used as a Christmas ornament later on 🙂

Bethany put a tiny veil on hers…

And a tiny top hat on Darren’s!

Bethany put vases with the hydrangeas inside the bird cages…

Everyone had a wonderful time at dinner…and the skys were blue~No rain in sight!

The bar was outside of the tent~We found this window frame and thought it would look great in the big oak!

And here’s the candy table!!! Darren and Bethany had their engagement pictures put in a book at Snapfish! (Kyle Hale took the engagement pics and the wedding photos! We think he’s utterly awesome!)

Bethany ordered most of the candy online…it’s amazing what you can get online!

Tiny cupcakes of all kinds were the other dessert!

We found some vintage dessert plates too!

Had to use a little milk glass!

There were toasts and an amazing slide show and then when the sun went down…we just danced…(Notice Kyle…he can dance, eat rock candy, sip wine and take great pictures all at the same time! I have pictures to prove this but I’m afraid to post them until he goes through and deletes any bad pics of me on the dance floor!!!) Emma, Trey and Jamie really danced!!!

Darren & Bethany left to sparklers !

It was an amazing begining to a wonderful life…I hope maybe you get an idea or two for an upcoming party you may be hosting! Love to you my friends…

    Every single itty-bitty detail is perfect. The pictures have a beautiful feeling to them. I’m so glad you posted these!! The rock candy–oh my gosh! That detail alone makes it so unique. Then there’s the plates, the dress, the back-drop, the bird cages………

    Love to you all and blessings to B and D.

    This was an absolutely beautiful wedding! If only I had some of their creative juices. I will definitely be calling Bethany daily to help me plan for October. It’s obvious where she gets her skills!!

    Everything about this wedding is gorgeous…from the bride to her gown to the tablescape to the food and candy buffet table. EVERYTHING! I love the window hanging from the oak…and the vintage sheet for pictures. This is what a wedding should look like…it seriously belongs in a magazine. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! 🙂

    What a beautiful outdoor wedding! I got married last summer in June in the gardens at the Historic Carnton Plantation in Franklin, TN. We were married under a 200 year old Osage Orange tree, had the big white tent for the reception, a candy bar, a southern supper, etc…this reminds me of my wedding! Your daughter’s dress was beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!

    I thoroughly enjoyed seeing photos of your daughters wedding. My daughter got married a couple of months ago and we had lots and lots of rain but everyone had a great time in spite of it. Her wedding was at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, GA. She too wanted the southern plantation style wedding and outdoors of course. At the time of her wedding all the azaleas in the area she had chosen for the ceremony were in full bloom and a beautiful pink color. We couldn’t even get the tent in the area where she wanted to have the ceremony. Well, we managed everything but the outdoor part.

    Your daughters gown is gorgeous and she is beautiful also. I wish them a Happy Lift together.

    What a great color scheme for this event. Love how you used bird cages, bird nests, and birds for name setting against the outdoor backdrop. Everything looks sensational! Brava!

    How fun to look at wedding pictures this morning. My daughter is getting married in 25 days! We’re counting down the days around here. 😉 I loved all the personal touches at your daughter’s wedding. So so pretty and she looked gorgeous! Her dress was to die for and I loved the groom’s tux color too. 🙂

    I wasn’t around in 2009, so I’m so happy you reposted this. Bethany is a lovely bride and her dress is fabulous. I love the decor you used especially the bird cages and the little birds in nest.. LOVE. It was perfect with the outdoor setting. Oh and the bird with a top hat perfect! I guess what I’m trying to say is it is dreamy.

    This wedding was absolutely beautiful! I came across this via pinterst and was hoping I could find out where your daughter got her dress from. I have been searching for a dress and this is exactly what I have been lookig for with the vintage style lace. Thank you in advance:)
