The stars may have aligned when Sarah and Colin met at a popcorn stand in a Charlotte, North Carolina, bar. But it was actually the sun, moon, and earth aligning that saw them to the next step....
Megan Drake & Keith Goforth
October 2, 2016 • The William Aiken House
“We’d spray paint and glitter everything gold if we could,” laughs Francesca DiSalvo-Follmer of Pure Luxe Bride, “so Megan was a dream bride for us to work with.” Known for designing glamorous fêtes like this one for Megan Drake and Keith Goforth at The William Aiken House last October, PLB’s signature look always involves golden details. But given the color is Megan’s absolute favorite hue, it went from side note to headliner on her Big Day. “Gold,” says Francesca, “is almost always used as an accent, but you shouldn’t be afraid of using it (or other metallics) as a main color any time of the year.” Take a peek at how things came together for the pair, who met here in Charleston and now reside in Harlingen, Texas.
