Anyway, enough rambling; I got to have my first real experience (outside of my own wedding) doing all of my favorite things when my sweet friend Rebekah got married and asked me to be the planner/florist/director. I had the most amazing time helping her, and am so sad it's over!
When she first got engaged and asked me to help, we sat down and looked through the hundreds of wedding inspiration I saved on my computer, and also did Google Image Searches for "rustic weddings," "outdoor weddings," "wildflower bouquets." She is a girl who loves to be outside and her favorite place in the world to be is riding horses.
Soon after she was engaged, I went to her hometown, and we toured a lot of potential venues. She knew she wanted the ceremony and reception to be outside, and after seeing a few no go's, we found the most perfect place.
She decided to get married under this beautiful magnolia tree, on the lawn of a gorgeous historic home in Camden, South Carolina. I was so thrilled she picked Louise C. Proctor Hall because I had a million ideas running through my head the second we pulled in the driveway.
We scoured the internet some more and found the perfect collection of inspiration pictures:

The rest of our inspiration came from one of my favorite blogger's beautiful wedding. Samma, from Spice and Sass became Rebekah's wedding crush and we loved everything she did! We especially loved all of the flowers, and decided that we, too, wanted the look of wildflowers!
Here are a few pictures from her gorgeous wedding!
How beautiful was her wedding? I absolutely love the look of all of the different color flowers in the bouquets. I could go on for days about everything I loved about Samma's wedding!
With our newly found inspiration, we were all set for the wedding of Rebekah's dreams!
Coming up: Pictures of Rebekah's special day and all of my hard work!

ReplyDeleteSeriously, this makes me want to get married all over again (to the same person, of course!) Wouldn't it be fun to be able to marry the same person over and over so that we can have every type of wedding we could think of?!
Hi! I am going to get straight to the point. I am helping my best friend plan her wedding. She is looking for a wedding venue just like your friends wedding. As I was searching for rustic outdoor decoration ideas. I came across your blog and am blown away because we also live in Greenville, SC. This may be a bit forward, But as I read your blog I am noticing we just might be kindred spirits. :) Anyways, Would you mind sharing with us as to the location of this awesome venue with the beautiful tree?
ReplyDeleteWedding planning first of all is consideration about budget. Then for the arrangements according to preferences. Guest lists are to be prepared. Also some perfect event venues are booked for the party. My sister in law's big day was a super cool dinner night with dear ones. All preparations were done online with discounted packages.
