What a gorgeous day for a lush and colorful Magnolia Plantation wedding! Janice and Mike live in North Carolina and planned an outdoor ceremony beside Charleston’s Ashley River. Guests made their way from near and far (mostly far!) to celebrate the Nazers. I just love how tenderhearted Janice went from sweet tears to rocking dance moves in her stunning gown. (She found her perfect San Patrick dress at J. Majors in Charlotte.) What a bevy of beautiful bridesmaids – their dresses are from David’s Bridal, color is Wisteria; wedge sandals by Tom’s. And a huge shout-out to Kala and her crew at MOD Events, who did a fantastic job on the florals and flow of the day. Keeping with the lush and colorful theme, Mike and Janice just returned from their Hawaiian honeymoon. Dreamy, right?

What better way to start our day than by pulling over at a colorful roadside attraction where Timbo’s peanut-loving dog greets guests? (I’m pretty sure they don’t have these in Chicago.)

Special thanks to Sol Basconcillo for helping me get great shots and bonus perspectives throughout the day!

If you love riverside weddings, sunlit mossy oaks or colorful flowers and bridesmaids who sport Pantone’s color of the year, I hope you’ll “like” this post and wish the Nazers well!
