Sweet Southern Wedding Inspiration With a Touch of Red

We thought you could use a little morning pickmeup. Translation? It’s time to break out the beauty, which is why we’ve got this stunner of a styled shoot from Studio Elle Photography to share. A southern inspired day complete with cakes and desserts from Luna Bakery & Cafe (atop La Tavola Fine Linen Rental) that’ll have you spellbound. Dreamed up by the massively talented A Charming Fete, this is one wedding isnpiration that’s blooming with all types of beauty (including those magnivicent Molly Taylor and Co. designs). See it all for yourself in The Vault!

From A Charming FeteWhen Renee of Studio Elle Photography and Emily of Emily Millay Photography reached out to us to create something amazing for their Illuminate Gathering photography workshop we knew Moorland Mansion, a stoic, century old property would be the perfect spot. The huge white pillars and 360 degree surrounding weathered wood porch gave vibes of an elite southern mansion. Bailey of Molly Taylor and Co. Created a breathtaking arrangement for a beautiful ancient tree on the back lawn for the couple to say their vows beneath. A luxe, dusty rose velvet linen on the dining table pulled in the perfect amount of feminine softness accented with rich claret hues. The cane back dining chairs, French scalloped plates and eggshell linen napkins elevated the tablescape to a perfect level of formality along with beautiful calligraphy details.

The bride wore a breathtaking Claire Pettibone gown and vintage inspired engagement ring. The fondant blush petal texture of the cake and petite pastries played into a feminine southern vibe, we even had an appearance by Ralph a sweet, blind Old English Sheepdog rescue. He stole the show posing proudly in his floral collar. It was a beautiful day!
