Eco-Chic Southern Wedding by Abigail Seymour Photography
Just glancing at this first wedding had me instantly smitten. Abigail Seymour’s images reside in a happy spot where casual elegance and a dash of southern charm co-mingle in such a beautiful way. And as if that weren’t enough for a major wedding crush, this little soiree also happens to be fabulously eco-friendly. Gorgeous and Green? Yep, the swoon factor just went through the roof. See every last pretty detail designed and styled by Leigh Pearce Weddings in the little ol’ gallery.
see all the pretty details in the gallery!
You could say that this wedding owes its Southern charm to an anonymous little kid selling lemonade on her front lawn — one day last year Jennifer and Craig (neither of whom are born and bred Southerners) were walking in their Greensboro, North Carolina, neighborhood and came across a little girl calling out in a thick drawl, “Lemo-nayyyyde, come getcha some lemo-nayde!” Something about that moment cemented for both of them that they wanted to settle in the South for good — and, of course, host their upcoming wedding there.
Jen and Craig’s starting vision for their wedding style came from their recently purchased 1930s bungalow — it represents their shared love and appreciation for family, history, and is itself a perfect balance of new and old. Their home is a very eclectic mix of vintage family treasures and modern design, so they worked closely with a planner to bring these ideas to the wedding day. Every detail of their day was every bit as stylish, thoughtful and eco-friendly as the couple themselves.
Some of the Green Details…
* The whole event was hosted at The Proximity Hotel, the nation’s most cutting-edge LEED-certified “green” hotel.
* Their invitations were tree-free, and they used chalkboards instead of escort cards to conserve resources.
* The table cards (each with a different favorite Southern-ism) were made with recycled paper, and the locally-grown flowers were displayed on the tables in a mix of apothecary bottles and glassware rented from the florist.
* The keys that were hand-tied each key with raffia onto dried lavender for the aisle flowers were rented from a local antiques store, as was the antique birdcage on the gift table.

I am wearing the same shoes, but closed-toe. They are Vera Wang Lavender Label ballet flats. They come in platinum (pictured here) and bronze. And they are even prettier in person!

Stunning bride and beautiful flowers. I love that brooch! Does anyone know if it is part of the dress or if the bride added herself? I am on the hunt for an oversized brooch and love hers!

The hair and make-up for most of the wedding party was done at Chakras Spa in Greensboro. The stylist for the bride was Kris Pennington.
