Today our friends over at the oh-so-fabulous Style Me Pretty launched a new extension of their local blogs series; while several new locations were unveiled today - we are most excited about the addition of Style Me Pretty Georgia. We were delighted when Abby wrote us last week to let us know that she wanted to feature Annette & Alex's Donalsonville wedding as the FIRST post ever on their brand new blog (!!!) - and we are even more overjoyed to see it all go live today! Be sure to check out the post and then spend some time looking through the entire gallery - this is a Southern wedding at it's finest!

Our bride, Annette, shared the following words about her wedding day:
To quote the immortal Steel Magnolias, “my colors are blush and bashful.” I knew since I was a little girl that I wanted a Shelby Eatonton, pink, Southern backyard extravaganza when I got married. Our wedding day was more than I could have ever dreamed of (particularly my sweet, handsome groom in his Air Force tuxedo).
Alex and I got married in my hometown of Donalsonville, and the out-of-town guests got a taste of South Georgia at its finest. My wonderful parents hosted the reception in their garden. I think my mother worked for a year and a half straight, and it paid off. Her garden is gorgeous! Guests pulled up to our yard and were greeted by spiked sweet tea, Georgia peach sangria, and lemonade under our ancient oak tree, which was be-decked with sparkly chandeliers. The small-town details peeked out everywhere, from family photos to my grandmother’s chest of drawers in the outdoor living room.
We dined al fresco in the front yard on Southern fare (including fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, chicken salad, macaroni and cheese), and then we went to the the back yard for some dancing, cake, and liquid refreshments. Some guests stayed warm with kegs of beer and bonfires, while others boogied on the dance floor. Unfortunately, we don’t have any photographs of the entire wedding party’s epic cake fight and swim in the pool (yes, I ended up in the pool in my dress). The night ended perfectly at 3 am, when Daddy chased everybody off with a shotgun!
I mean, how great is that?! Check out the blog post here and then see the entire gallery over here. |
