Romantic Southern Charm Wedding Styled Shoot

Inspired by all things Southern romance, an incredible team of talented vendors teamed up to bring to life this breathtaking styled wedding shoot. You just can't go wrong when combining Southern charm with timeless elegance, a few modern touches, and a jaw-dropping backdrop like this private farm in Georgia. Cassie Xie Photography and Four Corners Photography used their vision of love among the freshly picked peaches to coordinate the event, and the talented TSE Gallery Photography captured these incredible photographs for us to share with you. You are going to want to spend your afternoon day-dreaming of this beauty, so without further ado...

The use of clear glass with white calligraphy adds a classy, modern touch. This style of wedding signage is becoming a popular alternative to rustic wood or chalkboard style signage.

China in an assortment of patterns is layered at both the dessert cart and the dinner table to add the warm, comforting feel that is valued so strongly in the South.

The classic farmhouse table set up in a grassy meadow is surrounded by inviting tufted chairs. The greenery adorning the center of the table sets off the colorful drinkware and simple white taper candles. Luscious, fresh-picked peaches are the star of the table - used at each place setting as place card holders.

Lush Garden Romance Styled Wedding Shoot

You are in for an absolutely amazing treat today with this styled wedding shoot. We can't thank Mandi Mitchell Photography enough for dreaming up this unique event and sharing it with us to pass along to our wonderful readers. With a color palette filled with pinks, corals, and lush greens - not to mention details ranging from vintage to rustic to glam - we can pretty much guarantee that you will have the incredibly beautiful details dancing through your mind in spectacular fashion for days. Every last accessory and decoration fits together perfectly to form a jaw-dropping affair that reminds us of a perfectly put-together garden party.

These kraft colored wedding gift boxes are tied with ribbons that match the wedding colors and filled with delicious looking items including champagne gummy bears, gourmet popcorn, a few perfectly frosted 'love' cookies, and an elderflower and rose lemonade paired with a beyond-cute chevron paper straw. Pamper all of your wedding guests, or just treat your bridal party to these fantastic take-home treats!

This darling sweetheart table was draped with an eye-catching sequin tablecloth and accented with white chairs different from those the guests will be sitting in. 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' signs are hung on the chairs and shepherds hook stands hold flower-filled birdcages to create the perfect backdrop for the two lovebirds during the reception. A second sequin-covered table for the bridal party is adorned with votive holders, a lantern, and unique sets of china at each place setting.

Farmhouse tables are set for the guests, and the smooth wood of the tabletops pairs effortlessly with vintage style candle holders with a mix of crystal, mercury glass, fine china, and wooden lanterns. The ambiance of the candlelight paired with the stunning floral arrangements positioned all throughout the length of the tables has us daydreaming of being a guest at this wedding.

A custom dessert spread includes macaroons, sprinkle-covered cupcakes, rock candy, and champagne gummy bears along with an assortment of pies and cookies. Displaying these in a variety of containers and on assorted cake stands adds interest to the stunning piano-top display. The wedding cake was displayed on an antique table surrounded by gorgeous floral details to set off the natural look of the naked cake featuring a rich frosting between each tasty layer.
