Whats a gal to do when her hubby is a navy man and she has a deep love of gorgeous southern weddings, merge the two naturally! Hannah Smith & Chris Rowland crafted a dreamy wedding day with a vintage nautical touch on the sprawling grounds of The Ribault Club. Married under a tremendously amazing giant oak tree, hand made chandeliers & crystals swayed in the wind as the couple said their vows. More traditional nautical inspired elements filled the decor, everything from anchors, wood lanterns, monkey knots & netting. Even napkins got the royal navy treatment, being presented in a tall sail like manner! Naturally only a palette which included navy would do with Hannah & Chris selecting coral as the perfect feminine counterbalance. Even though its only the very beginning of March, the Mother of the Year award {or at very least the very top of the short list} goes to Anne Smith, mother of the bride. I dont know what Anne's background is, but Anne created every floral detail you see, the bouquets, centerpieces, even boutonnieres to stunning perfection! As if the florals weren't a huge task in and of themselves, would you believe Anne also did the cake!? Beautifully frosted in a buttercream whipped texture style, the cake was adorned with the very same gorgeous flowers that punctuated the wedding all while being displayed on a spool of thick gauge twine, I die! The idea of a vintage take on a nautical inspired wedding is perfection to me, add in deep navy & vibrant corals along with each wonderful element, not to mention that giant oak, and now I am just getting weak in the knees!
