Local Flower Bouquets

The bride and maid of honor both carried bouquets of Queen Anne's Lace and magnolia leaves along with small daisies made by florist, Bud and Bloom. The are all flowers that are local to this area. Our reception table was a dark wood estate table bracketed by cross back chairs provided by Goodwin Rentals. The designer chose a magnolia leaf garland to adorn the dark wood estate table. On either side, the place settings provided by Vintage English Tea Cup matched the palette with white and gold vintage china, along with bespoke fluted water glasses from the venue. Gold candlesticks with white candles ran down the center of the table. A simple and very elegant estate table design.

Drinks & Desserts

For the food table, designer, Jessie Patton of Southern Sophistication Designs, chose beautiful ways to display the southern fare. From shrimp and grits to a biscuit bar, its a delicious southern treat. The cake was placed in the center of the front porch. This cake, adorned with magnolias and gold and white icing, was a treat for the eyes and the palette! Eileen Carter Creations did a magnificent job as always. After dessert, guests could enjoy Southern Honey Bourbon from the crystal decanter on the bar cart.
