Something Old, Something New

Caly Warner, Carolina Bride~Myrtle Beach Cover Bride Winter Issue 2010




When it came to booking a venue for Caly and Jason's wedding there was never any doubt. Live Oak Allee at Brookgreen Gardens, lined with 250 year old live oak trees was the perfect setting for her Southern storybook wedding. From beginning to end Caly and Jason's wedding was filled with Southern Charm and elegance, but with a contemporary twist. Her attendants dresses weren't the typical bridesmaids gowns, but cotton sundresses in shades of blue, ivory and black that resembled a watercolor painting and something that wouldn't just hang in a closet after the wedding was over, but would be worn over and over again. Her bouquets weren't typical either. They were compiled of cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, yellow Billy balls, blue thistle, kangaroo paw, seeded eucalyptus and wrapped in tropical leaves and coiled copper wire. The vintage birdcage style veil on the top of her head to her feet adorned with electric cobalt blue shoes was a vision of Southern elegance, romance and originality. Caly's stunning asymmetric mermaid gown was mimicked in her one of a kind wedding cake created by Incredible Edibles of Pawley's Island. A blending of traditional Southern elements and a portion of contemporary flare produced a wedding filled with originality, fun and memories for years to come.
