I typically save my real wedding gushing for my day job over at Style Me Pretty - but I had to make a special exception for this downright darling bride and her handsome groom. You see, her bridesmaid extraordinaire - Ashley - emailed me awhile back and thought it would be a fun surprise for Meg to just happen to stumble on her wedding while visiting the Super Burbs. (By the way, thanks for stopping by Meg!) How adorable is that? I was beyond touched - really. It's always so sweet to hear from readers (and I am still amazed people other than my mom read!) So my sweet, darling Meg - SURPRISE! I absolutely adore your wedding to pieces - all the images from Raycroft Art are timeless keepsakes, your style is unbeatable and your bridesmaid Ashley is a keeper :) Just look at these two cuties...
Besties are well...the best Ready for the rest?
From Ashley - the darling bridesmaid of the year... My good friend Meg, who is also a fan of yours and introduced me to your site got married this weekend at The Daniel Island Club in Charleston, SC. Meg is much like you and is a event planner, so needless to say the wedding went off without a hitch! The colors, navy, apple green and khaki looked beautiful against the golf course and marsh backdrop, it was just a perfect southern wedding, with a huge wedding party of 9 bridesmaids (myself included), 1 junior bridesmaid, 11 groosmen, 4 ushers, 1 flower girl and 1 ring bearer. We all had a blast! Meg is extremely detail oriented and she even stole your idea of the striped straws and stirrers, they added the perfect touch.
Meg and her (new!) husband Halsey are both from up north and met their junior year at the University of South Carolina and after 6 long years finally got engaged and married. Meg is originally from Connecticut and then moved to Massachusetts (where I am from). Meg and I did not know each other when we lived in Massachusetts, though we did live in neighboring towns, so when we met a few years ago, we had an instant friendship! After discovering we lived so close to each other in Massachusetts, we found out we both grew up vacationing in Watch Hill, RI! Needless to say when we saw your wedding video and discovered your blog, we were hooked! Infact, one of Meg's wedding presents was a weekend for her and Halsey to stay at the Ocean House!
