Autumn Ridge Plantation: Styled Wedding {Day 3}

Hey everyone!

We're excited to have more for you today from our Styled Wedding at Autumn Ridge Plantation! You are going to LOVE the beautiful dresses and diamonds. The wedding gown & bridesmaids dresses from Tesori are to die for! And the jewels from Romance Diamond Company are truly breathtaking. See for yourself...

This glamorous blush gown from Tesori is the stuff dreams are made of!

These dove gray bridesmaids dresses are convertible and can be worn in dozens of different ways to flatter each bridesmaid individually. 

See! These are my favorite bridesmaids dresses ever. Thanks Tesori!

Veil and earrings were also provided by Tesori. And can we talk about the GORGEOUS lighting in the bridal suite at Autumn Ridge Plantation? Caroline Fox was stunning as our "bride".

Romance Diamond's 4 karat solitare. Enough said.

Bonnie Argo did a flawless job on Hair & Make up!

And we can't forget the PERFECT flower girl dress from Oh Cecelia!

It doesn't get better than this beauty dream team. A big thank you to Tesori & Oh Cecelia for the perfect gown & dresses. Bonnie - you made everyone so beautiful! Thank you Romance Diamond Company for the perfect jewels. And of course, Benfield Photography - you are amazing.

Autumn Ridge Plantation: Styled Wedding

Hey guys!

I mentioned recently that we've stayed super busy during our "slow season" this year and one of the big projects we were working on was a fabulous Styled Wedding at Autumn Ridge Plantation with Benfield Photography. We had such an amazing time creating this gorgeous design along side some of the best vendors in the state! For the next few days we'll be sharing the beautiful photos of this event, but today we're beginning with the impeccable table design...

This is one of my favorite designs ever. The romantic flowers by Flora were truly a work of art that perfectly complimented the rest of the design. A design that fits so perfectly at the southern venue - Autumn Ridge Plantation. It truly doesn't get better than this! And didn't Benfield Photography capture it beautifully??
