We’re asking some of our past brides about teachable moments during their  process, hoping to help anyone else going through the ups and downs of planning now!

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?

My favorite part in planning was experiencing a world of beautiful, beautiful things. From a few visits to Palmetto Bluff, to tasting
lovely eats for the reception, as a bride, I had no idea I’d be so
warmly invited into an exquisite industry I knew nothing about. And
let me tell you the beautiful world of weddings is pretty epic.

What was the biggest challenge during the planning process?

My biggest challenge was managing the process, emotionally. With
heightened bridal senses, small things can feel gargantuan every now
and then.

What do you miss the most now that it is over?

 I really, really, really miss the friends I made. From my
photographer turned best friend, Perry Adams of Perry Vaile
Photography, to gown designer, Katherine McDonald, to the rockstar
chick that helped me get dressed, Cacky Rivers from Cacky’s Bride +
Aid, I made lifelong friends.Seriously. I also miss working so closely
with Meg, Tarah, Molly, Abbie, and big T (Tara G) given they kind of
made it happen and we became TIGHT during that wedding planning
process! I wanted to be an easy bride for that incredible team.

Is there anything you would do over and what? Would you wear the same dress?

This sounds bananas, and please feel free to judge me, but I would
shorten our honeymoon from 7 to 5 days (St. Barths was piping hot in
June and we were not prepared). Heck no to the techno I could never
change my dress. I still dream about wearing that awesome frock.
Except now I’m 7 months pregnant, so things fit a little differently.

Can you please give a brief description of your engagement? 

During our 11 month engagement, Wyatt and I lived in different
states for job opportunities. He, NY and I, NC. I think this made our
upcoming wedding, to us, even more exciting.

Caroline and Wyatt were married May 30, 2015 at Palmetto Bluff. Stay tuned here to see more lovely details from their Soiree on Wedding Wednesday.
