We are fortunate that living in the South allows us to do winter weddings with almost as much ease as Spring weddings (it’s 60+ here in Charleston today!). When you have a back drop as graceful and stunning as the Ford Planation in Savannah, Georgia, you get year round spectacular events! For this Sunday brunch wedding, our bride and groom opted for a chic blue and white toile as the pattern du jour.  The toile was worked into everything from the invitations to the umbrellas, table linens, and even tray liners. Winter white peonies and ranunculus were mixed with festive greens for centerpieces and bouquets which set a romantic mood and the cake was topped with seasonal fruit to finish it off.

Of course there were plenty of personal touches as well. Our bride wore a vintage family veil, and received a beautiful bracelet to wear that day as a gift from the groom. The bride’s mother made homemade banana pecan bride and peach chutney which we packaged with custom designed tags by Lettered Olive and guests received as their welcome gift.

Set under live oaks and overlooking the river, the wedding ceremony was anchored by a simple greenery covered chuppa.  Guests then joined the couple on the back lawn of the Plantation for an al fresco brunch reception.

The menu consisted of favorite Southern brunch delicacies with a twist, such as Quail and Grits -alongside Shrimp and Grits, Ford Eggs Benedict, as well as a Bloody Mary Station with pickled veggies and Artillery Punch (a famous Savannah celebratory cocktail). One  long table topped with umbrellas in the signature pattern for shade allowed for guests to mingle easily. The bride hand wrote notes to all of her guests thanking them for being there, which also doubled as place cards.

As they said their goodbyes, guests tossed white rose petals out of paper cones made from the blue and white toile pattern while the couple drove off in a classic black vintage car. This winter wedding couldn’t have been more perfect!

Strang Bride by Adrienne Page

This sweet sunny soiree from the vault is perfect for this Wedding Wednesday. The yellow, white, and green is just the bright color pattern needed for the midweek slump. This wedding was even more special for us since we had done the bride’s older sister’s wedding a couple of years before. She wore a fabulous eyelet Caroline Herrera ballgown, which we just had to incorporate into the wedding decor as well.

The brides’ bouquet, full of lush greenery and white blooms like ranunculus, lily of the valley, clematis, and fluffy listianthus was wrapped with eyelet fabric to match the brides’ gown.  Her letterpress invitation suite designed by Lettered Olive, had a cheery yellow and white wrap in lieu of inner envelopes.

Guest welcome “pails” were full of local treats, waters, and necessities like bug spray, sunscreen, etc. all adorned with custom stickers and packaging.

Ceremony Collage

 To create an “alter” for the wedding ceremony, we hung hand made yellow banners with white floral patterns from the branches of the old Live Oak tree. The Drayton Hall home made an amazing backdrop for the wedding.

We always have umbrellas or back up plans for outdoor ceremonies, and thank goodness, because there were some quick showers at this one! At cocktail hour, guests enjoyed lemonade cocktails.

The eyelet pattern was carefully woven into the tent decor which glowed with a soft yellow and white ambience all evening.
