Prepare for an overload of beautiful pictures:
Guests were greeted at the door with their choice of Peach Sweet Tea or Low Country Lemonade. Since the temperatures were pushing 100 by this point, the drinks went quickly:
Tip: The paper tops are actually cupcake liners! They fit perfectly over the top of a 12oz Mason jar. Who knew?
My parents back porch looked beautiful.
As I was taking these pictures, I realized that I really ought to show you more pictures of my parents house. It’s beautiful and has tons of really unique details.
and the food was incredible. Chilled Tomato Bisque, biscuits with honey and Grilled Salmon and Peach Salad.
Instead of the traditional charms that are pulled out of the cake, each ribbon had a scripture written on it related to marriage. The scriptures were used to pray over the bride. I can’t believe I didn’t get a picture of the inside of this cake. About 6 thin layers of cake colored in blue and orange.
Other fun details:
Amazing right? My mom worked herself to the bone, but I definitely think the bride appreciated it.
The bride is second from the right on the front row. Isn't she gorgeous? She's an incredible woman and was a beautiful bride on Saturday. Congrats, Elizabeth!
Oh and don’t forget to enter the My Memories Suite Giveaway. it ends tomorrow night at midnight!

ReplyDeleteYour mom rocks, she did a fantastic job! Funny, I've been reading several books by a fiction writer who's stories are about people living in the low country and Pawleys Island. Is that near where you live?
