I am SO stinking excited to feature today’s wedding. First of all, it’s gorgeous. Ridiculously, unbelievably gorgeous. Second of all, it’s the wedding of one of our very own SMP girls, Carrie, who is an absolute doll through and through. And lastly, it just happens to be Carrie’s birthday, so we are doing the feature as a bit of a surprise birthday gift to her.
With that said, it was one of the easiest weddings in the world to feature because it is so, SO lovely....
The details. That is what today’s wedding was ALL about. Every little detail was not only thought out, it was designed and crafted by Brad or Laura. From perfect menus and place cards, to handcrafted truffles tucked inside DIY favor boxes, custom cocktail flags, even beer that Brad brewed for months before the wedding then bottled up and drove down to Charleston.
The AMAZING cakes were by Jim Smeal and the flowers...
Usually, when I feature a wedding…I get to chat all about it from an editor’s perspective. Well, with today’s affair, I was lucky enough to be a guest so I am able to give a little bit of a different perspective. The ceremony was beautiful, the photographs of the bridal party were ridiculously lovely, but it was the reception…oh the reception…that really stole my heart.
As you walked into the cotton dock at Boone Hall, you saw a really rustic old space...
Everything about today’s featured wedding was pure perfection. Since I was lucky enough to be a guest and just hang back to soak it all in, I saw the smallest details that Laura had put such TLC into, the most perfect touches, the most beautiful views of the day. Laura will be here a little later to share some DIY projects that she did but for now, I am still going nuts over her chic, but fun navy and yellow color palette…
I am obsessed! If there was ever a bridesmaid...
As I mentioned earlier, today we are featuring my brother-in-law’s absolutely fabulous wedding that his ridiculously lovely wife Laura designed and crafted this past April. The wedding was held at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina and was a lesson in all things pretty. And for someone that eats, sleeps and breathes weddings…to be a guest at this one, was such a fun experience!
The color...
I have been SO ridiculously excited about today’s feature for MONTHS now. My brother-in-law, Brad, and my now sister-in-law, Laura, tied the knot in the most gorgeous wedding down in Charleston, SC this past April and when I tell you that it was incredible, I am hardly doing this wedding justice.
Laura is the queen of all things DIY, with a sense of style that you are going to love…and she literally crafted her entire wedding from the bottom up! And lucky, lucky us! Laura...
Thank you SO very much to Jesse and Whitney of Our Labor of Love for sharing today’s wedding with us. It’s hard to find the right words to say just how much I love your work. It’s perfect.
And of course, a ridiculously big thank you to Ashley and Allen for letting us share in their celebration. I thought that I could end this real...
There is something completely sweet and charming about the reception from today’s featured affair. Filled with lots of hugs, toasts to the happy couple and a feeling of pure joy, I love that the they kept it simple and fun.
Completely adorable. Oh and if you are just now catching up with us, the team at Our Labor of Love are the one’s that captured these perfect photographs. Love, love, love.
What is a really great wedding without really great details? Obviously, today’s super cute, stylish, adorable (I could go on and on) couple infused those perfect touches that took their lovely wedding to an all new level!

Ring a ding ding (did I just say that…I am seriously in need of some new words)!! Aren’t these details completely perfect! The candies...
I have to admit. I have this thing for really beautiful couples. Not necessarily pretty people, but really beautiful people who have that inner glow we all covet. It’s those kinds of couples that make for the best photographs, the most romantic, the most joyful, the most stunning images.
So, when you put today’s couple together with the fabulousness that is Our Labor of Love, the result is...
