Name Your Pleasure | A host of trends hit the Charleston Weddings Spring Bridal Show catwalk

Warm tones ruled the runway at the Charleston Weddings Spring Bridal Show when designers and boutiques debuted fresh looks. SCAD’s Faith Thornburg (named Elle magazine’s Fashion Next winner) went for a buttercream yellow while Charleston’s Rachel Gordon opted for swanky nudes and taupes. The show’s first-ever Emerging Bridal Designer Competition winner, Calvin James Bryant of Atlanta, was all about a blushing bride.
