Going To The Chapel


The blissfully happy couple.


Fresh, and simply elegant flowers: a key ingredient to
making sure your wedding isn't (gasp) overdone!


An outdoor seating lounge that I personally would enjoy
have at home.


I loved that most of the seating near the dance floor were
bar stool height, making it easy to chat and catch-up
with other wedding guests.


Hanging lanterns from the plantation's live oak trees
added a bit of extra magic to the evening.


Love is in the air. Although October is now famed to be more popular than the month of May to say "I do", wedding bells have already begun to ring. One of my oldest and, most certainly, dearest girlfriends just made a trip down the isle in Charleston, South Carolina. Spanish moss, the gorgeous grounds of Lowndes Grove plantation, and beautiful weather (despite sleet and chilly temperatures only days before), made for a truly perfect day.

If asked what the secret to such a wedding is, I feel certain the bride would answer her wedding planner. Kristin Newman, of Kristin Newman Designs, her right-hand lady in waiting, Morgan Young, and their entire crew were lovely. Always busy securing each exquisite detail in the background, but never making their presence fully felt, they are the epitome of true professionalism. Not one single worry was left for the bride, groom, their families, nor their friends.

Making a lifetime commitment to one man may be easier than sifting through all the event planning firms available today. If you happen to live in the south east, give Kristin a call. If she can't personally help you, I'm sure she would be more than delighted to suggest someone who can. http://www.kristinnewmandesigns.com/
