Celebrity Inspiration: Michelle Williams in Christian Dior

 

Dress, Catherine Deane; Sash, BHLDN; Veil, BHLDN; Shoes, RSVP.

Hello Fairy Princess. This look is so exciting. It’s simple, easy, and absolutely breathtaking. Michelle Williams really knows how to dress to impress and this gown is no different. I love how it shows off her neck and décolletage. The belt empathizes that tiny waist while the pattern of the dress has an amazing slimming effect. Bottom heavy girls, this is a dress for you. The skirt is so flattering as it just floats away from the hips and bottom giving the illusion of a super slim bottom half. I adore this look and even more so, I love that she is only wearing one cocktail ring! With this dress, a wonderful cage veil would be the only accessories that I would suggest. Keep ears, neck, and wrists naked. Trust me, you won’t need any adornments with a gown like this. Rock this Catherine Deane awesome gown with a black sash or if you really want that same flat look of Michelle’s belt purchase a half inch velvet ribbon and have a skilled seamstress sew it in so that it lays flay and then you don’t have to fuss up the back of the gown with a bow.

Real Savannah Wedding: Ally and Troy Part 3-Reception

Now all the goodies for Ally and Troy’s wedding. You are going to love the romantic feel with some fall details thrown in! The fingerprint guest book and the postcard mailbox for guests to leave the couple a note were adorable! This is a prime example of a “less is more” kind of wedding. The real shocker (not really if you knew them) is the amazing Florida Gators cake! The ambiance was breath-taking with all the candles, roses and moss. They had such a great time with their guests and truly enjoyed every minute of their wedding…and we loved that we were able to share it with them! All our best Ally and Troy—here is to many MANY more amazing memories as Mr. and Mrs. xooxxoxo

Real Savannah Wedding: Ally and Troy Part 2- Portraits

Real Savannah Wedding: Ally and Troy Part 1- Ceremony

Ally and Troy—the most deserving and precious couple you will get to hear about. Their wedding was originally planned for November 2010 but due to a number of unfortunate tragedies (and when I say a number it was like the bad luck book hit them and wouldn’t let up), they had to reschedule their wedding a month before it was to happy for this past November! But that didn’t phase them or damper their excitement and eagerness to celebrate with their loved ones. Needless to say, this was a first for us and we were going to do all we could to ensure this day was as perfect as it needed to be for Ally and Troy. Memories N’ More did a great job capturing the day and Ally planned a beautiful event! We were honored to be a part of it with them. Now I invite you to fall in love with a romantic fall Savannah Wedding at its finest! The colors, the use of pumpkins, the intimate set up and a Southern twist or two……

Celebrity Inspiration: Keira Knightley in Elie Saab

 

Dress, BHLDN; Shoes, Steve Madden.

Now if you are anything like my hubs than you looooove Keira Knightley and with good reason. She’s insanely talented, she’s super hot, and she’s got brilliant style. That brilliant style is was brings us together today. This Elie Saab dress is such a stunning piece of art. I love that the lace comes across fashion instead of grandma. I think this look would suit any English rose with a bit of a boho princess hiding inside. The monster satin platforms definitely add a funky look. Take a cue from Miss Knightley and keep accessories to a minimum... in fact don’t wear any at all. Keep hair and makeup simple and easy. The more modern the better. This really is a great look and perfect for a someone who wants to mix vintage and now.

Real Savannah Wedding: Kristine and Kent Part 3-Reception

And what you all have been waiting for…the reception images of Kristine and Kent’s Savannah Wedding! (Thank you W. Scott Chester Photography) Where do we start? Guests went into the home for cocktail hour while we turned over the backyard. They then found their seats from the listing of tables in the lemon crates and the corresponding DIY book numbers that the bride’s father made! SUPER CUTE! The feel they were going for was a laid back, backyard feel. We achieved this with burlap runners, long communal tables, rolled silverware, gave height to the vases by placing them on fabric covered books, and the centerpieces were of various shades of green and blue that blended with the garden landscape making the space one cohesive unit. Kristine and Kent loved unusual and unique items and their details were no exception. For their guestbook, they found this wooden slab on etsy that was personalized for their wedding, that guests signed. Their favors were cd’s of their favorite music, they had adorable wooden people cake toppers that resembled them and their attire (also from etsy) and they had a photostring display of their fondest memories from their lives thus far. There was no shortage of laughter, tears or dancing. This couple truly celebrated what a marriage is meant to be and despite some none to desirable weather on and off...they never missed a beat! All the best to Kristine and Kent! We loved every minute we got to spend with you two and your loved ones.
