There are so many reasons to love today’s real wedding.  Designed by the superstars at WED Charleston, you just know it’s going to be jaw-droppingly gorgeous.  But I have to say lead planner Ellen Cohn Robinson outdid herself.  In a city that takes its weddings very seriously, these ladies are like wedding superheros, swooping in and transforming reception spaces into lush, beautiful jewel-box like experiences.

Literally every detail is thoughtful, beautiful…perfect.

From WED’s Hannah Alexander:
With much of the bride’s family traveling from Dubai for the festivities, a Lowcountry welcome bag was in order.  Studio R Design was commissioned to craft the custom welcome packets.  Jute totes were filled with yummy pimiento cheese from Granville’s Catering, elegantly presented in miniature clasp spice jars from Crate & Barrel.  Wooden ice cream paddles from Paper + Cup Designs doubled as spreaders.  1/2 bottles of pinot grigio finished off the “Southern wine & cheese” snack.

Yea…see??  AWESOME.

I LOVE the pink and coral color palette that WED set for this event.  The vibrant colors look incredible under live oaks and the Carolina blue sky we all love with the Ashley River in the distance.

Coming up, the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G wedding reception.  So worth the wait, I promise!

Ok, seriously, prepare to be awed by today’s real wedding.  When it landed in my inbox, I struggled not to drop everything and just get lost for hours in the images.  I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you all!

A spring wedding at the historic riverfront estate of Lowndes Grove Plantation in Charleston…*sigh*…what could possibly be better!?  Designed by the wedding masterminds at WED Charleston and captured for our viewing pleasure by Marni Rothschild, there is absolutely nothing about this wedding that isn’t complete and total perfection.

But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!  I’ll be featuring every gorgeous detail all day.  Stay tuned, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I’m a total sucker for any wedding with a military arch of swords.  Needless to say, when I saw this wedding by the fantastic Leigh Webber, I was determined to get it up on White Thread for you guys.  Jamie and Judson were married in a picture perfect wedding at The Citadel’s Summerall Chapel coordinated and designed by Ooh! Events.  I can’t get over how stunning Jamie is in her gorgeous Melissa Sweet gown.  Seriously, they should pay Jamie to wear that dress, it’s THAT amazing on her.  Not to be outdone are the gentlemen looking equally dashing in their black tie and white gloves.

Festivities continued with a tented reception at Charleston’s Wickliffe House. How great is that picture of Jamie’s bridesmaid catching the bouquet?  I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such an enthusiastic bouquet catcher, I love it!

See more of this beautiful event at Leigh’s blog and a big, warm congratulations to Jamie & Judson.  I loved sharing in the beauty of your day, thank you!

I am loving this sneak peak into LulaKate’s new bridesmaid collection via the talented Juliet Elizabeth’s blog.  If you aren’t familiar with LulaKate, they are a fabulous line of modern bridesmaid gowns designed by Charlotte native and UNC alum Katharine McDonald.  Even better news…she’s just introduced a few bridal gowns to the collection that are so lovely, I can’t stand it!

I love the LulaKate designs for their modern simplicity and those gorgeous, vibrant color choices, but I have to say that black, one-shouldered number is hot, hot, hot!

The Lowndes Grove Plantation in Charleston served as the backdrop for this shoot…and what a backdrop it is!

LulaKate designs are available at the flagship boutique on Charleston’s King Street and exclusively at Bella Bridesmaid locations throughout the Carolinas.  Be sure to check out Juliet’s blog for more stunning images from this shoot.
