Featured on Borrowed and Bleu | Woodsy Founders Hall Wedding
Posted on April 24, 2012
I was so pleased to see Bailey & Brian’s green autumn wedding featured on Borrowed and Bleu today! I just loved all the perfectly planned details, gorgeous flowers by Branch Design Studio, rustic touches and green galore. Bailey’s lace gown and the emerald bridesmaid dresses were so elegant, and she collaborated with MOD Events to incorporate some unexpected touches. Her polka dot shoes were awesome (and the wedge heel helped her traverse the lawn without sinking). The groom’s wooden wedding band is so unusual (Bailey found it on Etsy), and his groomsmen were a hoot to shoot in the purple grass and on the dance floor. Founders Hall is a lovely venue!

Dever & Jay | Cumberland Island Wedding
Posted on March 20, 2012
Dever & Jay’s coastal Georgia wedding was special for so many reasons. The bride is my husband’s sister, and we have been so excited for her to marry Jay! They live in St. Mary’s and have spent lots of time boating over to Cumberland Island and frolicking with the wild horses. They are the consummate hosts, so a backyard reception was a no-brainer for these two, who regularly host oyster roasts and cookouts for large groups of friends and family. Both the bride and groom embraced Pinterest for DIY lighting and decor ideas, and they did a fantastic job of creating a magical backyard reception venue.
The morning started as the bride and about 40 guests boarded the Cumberland Princess for the quick jaunt to the sleepy island that gained notoriety when JFK Jr. wed Carolyn Bessette there in 1996. The groom’s plans to drive his boat over separately were foiled by the howling 30mph winds, but the ferry worked out fine for keeping the bride and groom apart prior to their ceremony. It was also a fun way to start the festivities, as everyone mingled. After a spontaneous decision to relocate the ceremony from the windy waterfront to the remains of the Carnegie’s Dungeness, the Cumberland Island wedding kicked off around midday. Following the ceremony, guests noshed on an array of homemade picnic treats as a few wild horses wandered about. Next came family photos, hugs galore, then a walk back through the lush maritime forest for the trip back to St. Marys. While some caught catnaps, I headed out for an afternoon coffee but was turned away from the local java spot since Oprah and the BBC were in town. Unexpected!
After the cruise to the mainland, the small group dispersed, and the newlyweds headed to make the most of the hours prior to the backyard reception. Ribs in the smoker, oysters prepped for roasting, linens, ice, side dishes and a final check of all the lighting. Kids tossed beanbags, adults mingled in the twilight, and the yummy cake was served. What a fun and laid-back affair. Congrats to my sis-in-law and her handsome hubby!
