When Meg sat down to pull the images for this blog post, she tells me ‘I fell in love with this wedding all over again’ - and we think you just might, too. Introducing our newest 100:1 blog feature - the wedding of Meredith + Aubert. Y’all just met these guys in our last entry where we introduced their “southern elegance” rehearsal dinner. The wedding day was equally as charming! Take a peek…

Meg started the morning with the Meredith doing her final touches during preparation…

…and then we rolled right into a ‘first sight’ on the front porch of her parent’s home. (As always, taking a little bit of time to see each other BEFORE the ceremony opens up all kinds of doors for a speedy transition to your reception following the ceremony. It’s not for everybody, but the couples who choose to go this route always tell us this was one of the best parts of their day!)

I’m fond of this sweet exchange between sisters as Meredith prepares to see her soon-to-be-husband for the first time on their wedding day…

The Bling:

The first sight gave us the opportunity to take a few simple but lovely couple ‘formals’ prior to the ceremony…

A classic Rolls-Royce is always an excellent choice.

Meredith + Aubert’s church was the most charming little downtown southern church you’ve ever seen! We worked with both the girls & the guys right on the front steps.

Going to the chapel…

OK — this was too much! The little guys were “escorted” up and down the aisles of the church in a little red wagon and the flowergirls followed behind ringing little bells!

Gorgeous floral arrangements filled the reception - here are just a few details:

The dances:

The ice cream bar was a surprise for the groom that was rolled in following the cake cutting!

The reception was held in the downstairs area of a lovely performing arts center… which meant that somewhere in the building there would be a theatre. With the newlyweds in tow, Meg and I set out to find it. The results from our ten minute excursion were pretty fantastic:

Their guests were treated to one of the best, most entertaining bands I have ever heard to date - Meg and I were talking about them for days. The lead singer did a mean Michael Jackson impersonation towards the end of the evening - he even had the moves down!

A rose petal goodbye:

And there you have it - one hundred images highlighting one fantastic southern wedding!
