The South's Most Stylish Wedding Blog
Colorado residents Elizabeth and Caleb have always adored the magical, pastel streets of Charleston, SC. So when the two got engaged they knew there was only one place they wanted to get married! While in town for vendor meetings the two met up with Laura Anne Watson to capture their engagement photos among the historic streets they love so much.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here and it is the perfect time to shop for your Fall engagement session! Today I’m sharing two different looks that would be perfect for an autumn engagement session. I absolutely adore this peasant dress and can see this bag and these earrings being worn a lot this Fall. It’s important to wear flats for your engagement as you most likely will do a lot of walking and you can’t go wrong with this cute blush pair! Remember today is the last day for early access before the sale opens to everyone tomorrow!

With a hurricane in the forecast for wedding day most bride’s would understandably be very upset and start scrambling to make changes. But when Hurricane Matthew arrived the day of Ashley and Mike’s wedding the two chose to embrace their unexpected guest. Armed with umbrellas and smiles this couple didn’t let the rain ruin their Maryland wedding. Set on a stunning private farm, Something Special by Tracy decorated with splashes of burgundy and lush greenery. Britt Croft Photography captured magical photos of this couples day, proving that a little rain can’t dampen true love.
