We always like to ask our brides to give us some insight into how they approached planning their wedding ~ their inspiration, their vision. Here’s what Ashaki had to say ~

The main inspiration for our wedding came from my two favorite movies, Gone With The Wind and Marie Antoinette. I made Embry watch these movies countless times while we were dating, and when he barely objected, I knew he was the man for me!!! I really wanted to have a traditional wedding,...

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. We packed it up and headed to Houston to visit family and cure my home sickness. It was a much needed break with my fam and proved to be just the medicine that I needed. And now, I am super excited to get started today! Our Round-Ups Editor, the lovely and talented Carrie Moore, is back with her favorites! This time, she’s simplified the oddly difficult challenge of finding a flower girl dress!

So. Remember last week when I mentioned that we’d be releasing a really awesome, completely chic fashion inspired tool? Well, we’ve finally put on the finishing touches, the bells and whistles, the touch of pretty to our new feature and we’re ready to shout it from the rooftops!

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!

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...
