Chinoiserie Editorial

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!

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.
