Groomsmen in white tuxedos and bridesmaids in watermelon pink frocks with pearls are just a few of the perfectly Southern details in this Savannah Yacht Club wedding from The Happy Bloom. With sweeping views of the water among Spanish moss covered oaks, the location could not have been more perfect for a Southern affair!

Charleston Bridal Portraits at The Legare Waring House

Today’s elegant Charleston bridal portraits from JoPhoto at the Legare Waring House could not be more lovely and Southern. With a sweeping avenue of oaks and historic Antebellum style home the Charleston plantation is perfect for bridal portraits. The brides wedding gown included a gorgeous lace and tulle overlay and layers upon layers of tulle that danced in the wind. One of the bridesmaids remarked that she looked “ethereal,” and we could not agree more! charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits charleston bridal portraits
