SIMPLY WED: Jessica + Kyle

We love intimate weddings + Jessica and Kyle's was no exception! This was such a funky and unique wedding too. The couple first contacted me and when asked to describe their dream wedding they wrote 2 words: "Wes Anderson." My response? Huh? So I started googling "Wes Anderson" and quickly recognized several of his movies and was beyond excited to be a part of their unique big day. The couple only had about 25 guests and were married at Brockington Hall. Beyond Beautiful by Heather did a fancy vintage inspired chignon for Jessica before the wedding. Their ceremony was pretty awesome... they had guests all tell a part of their story and how they met, fell in love, got engaged as part of the ceremony and their story. After the ceremony the party moved into the ballroom at Brockington Hall where we had set up vintage chairs and tables from Ever Thine. Cape Creations provided guests with a delicious plated meal. After the reception guests enjoyed "Memaw's sugar cookies" brought from home and music played on a vintage record player.

With all that being said... by far the funnest part of this wedding was getting to do the flowers! We got really funky with it and incorporated a lot of weird textures, flowers, plants and greenery with a full on moss table runner. It was super fun and so different from anything else we've ever done, so we hope you enjoy checking out all the pictures taken by us!!! :) Thank you and huge congratulations to Jessica + Kyle!!

SIMPLY WED: Lindsey & Blake {PART ONE}

Here are the pre-ceremony pictures of Lindsey & Blake's Sapelo Island wedding at Reynolds Mansion. Gosh, I still am swooning over how amazing and talented Traci Arney is! Her photography is so incredible. She captured the day so perfectly. Her images really tell a story of every little detail from their wedding weekend. I love how she even captured pictures of Blake, the owner of Cafe 37 in Savannah, putting together their delicious wedding cake! Which, I must say, was the best wedding cake I think I've ever tried. It was even gluten free... And so delicious. They were so generous and offered Layla and I to try the cake and even take some home since it was such a huge cake for their intimate dinner party wedding. One of the sweetest things about Lindsey & Blake to me is their love story. She gave us the brief rundown after the wedding and so I apologize if Lindsey or Blake are reading this and if I got anything wrong please correct me! But basically, the two had dated when they were younger, but eventually ended up going separate ways. Lindsey got married and Blake traveled all over learning how to cook. Fast forward some number of years and Lindsey is now single and living in North Carolina (I believe) and Blake in Savannah where he runs Cafe 37 (highly recommend this. It is one of the best restaurants I have been to in Savannah). Anyway, Lindsey was one day looking up Blake and found out about his restaurant and tracked him down somehow. Well, one thing leads to another and they are dating long distance and visiting each other back and forth. Now, if you have ever been to Cafe 37 you'll know that there is an amazing antique store next door. Every time Lindsey came to Savannah she would go into the antique store, and one of the things she had her eye on for awhile was that big blue ring you will see below. She visited a few times always looking at the ring but never being able to bring herself to buy it. Well, one trip down there she decides it's time to purchase the ring. She goes into the antique store and it's gone. Fast forward a few months (I believe) and Blake proposes with the ring! When he found out she was going to get it he decided he had to get it before she did and he bought the ring and used it to propose. I just thought their story was too precious to not share and I have to admit that it was one of those things that brought tears to my eyes! Anyway, I really planned on putting all their images into one post but I just couldn't do it. There are too many gorgeous pictures and I just had to split it up or this post would end up being too long and jumbled. So here it is... part one of the wedding, which is really more like part two since I already posted pictures of their rehearsal dinner here! And congratulations to the beautiful and amazing happy couple! It was so special getting to experience Sapelo Island and your wedding day with the both of you!
