southern wedding

on saturday i attended a charming southern-inspired wedding in the mountains of north carolina. 'less is more' certainly applied here. wildflowers and personal decor made for a delightful wedding. keeping things simple is sometimes best.

wildflowers and burlap bows help keep the atmosphere in touch with nature.

candle light and bare wood tables 

these wonderful works of art were brought from the family home in mississppi. 

as a potter myself, i swooned over the earthy touches of these mccarty pieces.

monograms add personal touches. don't neglect the bride's new monogram.

it is important to keep up with details. the wedding program and personalized cocktail napkins reminded everyone at the bar of the importance of the event.

chalk boards are rustic and southern. as the reception progressed this board got much more attention. guests love to sign off with a personal touch.

this 'naked cake' was a beautifully simple way to keep the outdoor theme alive.

furniture on the lawn is a great addition to a wedding. it allows guests to comfortably gather and makes for a fun photography spot.
