Happy Wednesday y’all! Erin here sharing an amazing event with you!

As you may or may not know, we are big fans of the Lowcountry Local First movement here in Charleston! If you are unfamiliar with them, their idea is twofold. First they advocate buying local from independent businesses and farmers. Then they promote eating local as well. This initiative designed to grow and support local food systems by connecting local farms, producers, and apprentices to the local restaurants, institutions, and people with a hunger for farm fresh food and goods.

Super cause, right?

They have several events throughout the year but this Sunday is their 5th annual “Cooking With Gas” Potluck Supper at Middleton Plantation. Tons of fabulous restaurants are participating and the chef list is pretty impressive. (Shameless plug that my husband is also participating). If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, we highly suggest!! What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

In keeping with the “green” movement, the concept of Nearly Newlywed Bridal Boutique is so neat!

This online boutique offers brides the ability to buy, try, and sell ‘nearly new’, fashion-forward, hard-to-find dresses. They featuring dresses by Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Elie Saab, Vera Wang, Marchesa, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra, Phillip Lim, Alberta Ferretti, Temperley, Rodarte, and Lela Rose…talk about selection! Dresses vary from long to short, bridal to party – a selection for ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, and everything in between.

Nearly Newlywed offers a ‘Personal Shopping via Pinterest’ service, so prospective brides are able to connect directly and receive dress recommendations based on their inspiration boards. Brides can also ‘Buy it, Wear it, and Send it Back’ with the Nearly Newlywed Guarantee, an opportunity to sell the dress back to Nearly Newlywed for a portion of the purchase price.
Here are a few dresses from their collection…all beauties! If you are a savvy bride to be then you should definitely check them out!

Since today is Friday the 13th and supposedly an unlucky day, we thought we might end the week with something positive! A photographer takes a zillion pictures during a wedding, but sometimes it only takes one to capture the entire feeling of an event. This one captures every fun moment that happened during this day! Thanks for sharing, Liz! 🙂 Hope y’all have an amazing weekend!
