Something blue, steal my heart! This was a wonderful collaboration of southern style last month in North Augusta. My favorite part is the gazebo installation. It’s no secret that we have a natural and organic style, so what could be better than building a flower meadow as a backdrop for your ceremony?!

I couldn’t share these photos without giving a shoutout to all of the local women-led businesses that pulled this together. Please do me a favor and check them out!

A Hint of Blue at Pine Knoll Farms

Pine Knoll Farms is an immediately recognizable location: their chapel is a stunning venue for any couple! We adorned the backdrop to our couple’s vows with smilax vine and other greens. This was an even more special setup because my dad was in town to help. Team work makes the dream work!

White tibet roses, double petaled white tulips, eryngium blue (thistle), seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus, sky blue delphinium, long leaf dusty miller, white ranunculus, southern smilax, gypsophelia (baby’s breath) and white snowflake spray roses.

Southern "Something Blue" Wedding

Being able to work at such uniquely southern venues has been an unexpected perk of this job. I grew up in southern California so every time we roll up to a traditional southern home, I get all googly-eyed at the sight of it.

Quinney Oaks didn’t need much as far as floral accents go. It was cleanly overgrown with English ivy and Spanish moss hung from the grandiose oak trees. Our bride was all about textural elements so we focused on bringing those into the bouquets and simple bud vase centerpieces using thistle, brunia berries, and Queen Anne’s lace.

The highlight for me, design-wise, was a massive pergola that the bride and groom were married on. Y’all (I can say that now, right??), we used a total of 32 feet of garland on that baby! Shoutout to my work husband/real husband that climbed atop and was perched like a freakin’ gargoyle tying it to the border, while my mom and I alternated holding my little one as it was drizzling on and off most of the morning (because why wouldn’t it be?).

The end result was a beautifully modern take on a traditional wedding scene. Scroll through to see the work we put in on this one.

Escimo + vendela roses, ivory spray roses, white ranunculus and hydrangea, disbud mums, silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, variegated pittosporum, Italian ruscus, Queen Anne’s lace, gypsophila, dusty miller, brunia, and blue dynamite eryngium (thistle!).

Light Blue Styled Shoot

My-oh-my, I am in love with how this turned out. I mean, you can't really go wrong with a beautiful venue, well-chosen decor, and pretty people, but the way this came together was near perfection. This shoot has also been published on The Southeastern Bride. You can find their feature here.

Not pictured: climbing over fences and horse gates to get to the ideal location on the farm for the dining experience I've only seen in my dreams. Okay, that might have been a little dramatic. I mean, there was some fence hopping... but, anyway. 

I went for a light and airy feel in the florals for this one. Browse through the gallery below to see how it all came together.  

I N G R E D I E N T S:

Silver dollar, seeded, and gunny eucalyptus, plumosa fern, Queen Anne's lace, roses, spray roses, carnation, and garden-grown dusty miller and pittosporum.
