• Elizabeth Anne Designs features a white and gray South Carolina wedding with great details including a darling flower girl in a baby's breath crown and a cake iced with white roses.

• A lovely seaside wedding at Our Love in October.
• Purple wedding of the week:  a rustic military wedding on a Texas ranch, featured on Southern Weddings.
