Gorgeous June Highgrove Weddings

The weddings this past weekend were so beautiful... along with the weather! The forecast for Friday was 60% rain but instead of storms we had a cloudy sky, a perfect breeze, and temps in the 70s... perfect for pictures. This wedding had so many special touches and personalized details... it was simply lovely! Congrats to our Friday couple... it was the perfect Southern wedding.
The guest book table. It had a picture album of engagements pictures that the guests signed. The programs were attached to fans to keep guests cool during the ceremony

The beautiful ceremony overlooking the lake





Each guest had a menu with the details of the Family Style dinner, Ice Cream and Milkshake Station and a timeline of events for the night to keep the guests informed of all the details of the night




The sweetheart table with the handmade overlay the mother of the bride made.  It was a pink seersucker that matched the bridesmaids dresses.

The cocktail tables with additional bows on the cuffs (also handmade by the mother of the bride).


Our three signature drinks of the night... A Pineapple Spritzer Mocktail, A Rasmopolitan, and a Bourbon Lemonade

The bride brought in matching pillows for all of our benches and sofas and rocking chairs

Another view of the cake table
The cake table was gorgeous.. the glass was elevated and then then pearls and magnolia leaves decorated the underside. There were also candles on top of the glass... 




The candy table was extraordinary.. the mother of the bride did an amazing job! It was so beautiful!
