Morning, lovelies! Boy, do we have one for you today. But before we get into all the goodness, let’s get acquainted with the stars of the show … A meet-cute at a mutual friend’s birthday...
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.
