Back-to-back goodness in BRIDES, including another stunning cover (work it, Ciara!) and more advice from yours truly + several of my amazingly talented friends (Ritzy Bee + AAB Creates) on ultimate reception decor. Check it out below!
It’s always fun to collaborate with editors, writers, and great peers to offer up some tips to the trade. This issue of BRIDES was, as usual rife with eye candy- considering pretty Olivia Palermo was on the cover . . . have you even seen her dreamy hub? It’s kinda ridiculous. Enjoy!
Knee-deep in design for our Fall affairs, we are flagging dove gray, taupe, mushroom, bone, sage, eucalyptus, and a pop of clementine or rust here and there in our Pantone books and paint decks. It’s kinda sick how happily we sit for hours over-analyzing the nuances of our color palettes and how our meticulously-mapped-out event lighting will overlay + affect these colors once night falls in a tent, on a ballroom, in a courtyard. Other nerdy habits include word-swapping, like “genteel equestrian meets wine country bohemia”, or “Hamptons meets Highlands“, the latter of which generated a little pinboard below. Dig in!

How apropos that this month’s Southern Living features thoughts on “porchin’”, serious biscuit recipes, and garden phenomena that should make anyone not living here positively drool to move down to our beloved Bible belt. We are totally thrilled to see our very own Becky + Cam’s coral + green coastal affair pop up in the pages as well, as it represents the quintessential Lowcountry prepster party at DeBordieu. Natch, there’s yours truly hanging out in MOH mode, a role I miss now that I’m probably permanently on the other side of the fence as resident planner/designer/mama/thirty-something. Photographed expertly by A Bryan Photo, floralized by Blossoms, tented by Sperry Tents Southeast, and designed to a tee by our team with a killer suite from Cheree Berry Paper, it is certainly one I’ll never forget.
