August is just around the corner (like tomorrow, oh-em-gee) and school is about to be back in session. Do we hear all of those moms emitting a sigh of relief? To celebrate the end of this dreadfully hot month, we thought we’d recap our most-loved slash double-tapped Instagram posts from our own @CharlestonWeddings . From downtown vistas, to star-filled skies and The Jonas Brothers (yep!), we’ve covered just about every topic under the July sun. Take a peek at the goodness below.

How to makes waves at your wedding? Choose a heel that’s bold instead of demure. Bride Liz donned these patterned blue pretties and we are all about ‘em. / design + coordination @afoxevent / heels @toryburch / image @aaronandjillian 
Southern charm by way of watercolor. We are all about these pretty little escort cards depicting our fave spots in the Holy City . / venue @kshgevents / planning + design @samanthaandersonevents / escort cards @alexanelsonprints / watercolor @hatchcovedesigns / image @aaronandjillian 
We know today is all about the red, white, and blue . But we had to pause for a moment to take in this black + white. Congrats to our friend and photographer (she’s the talent behind our editorials) @corbingurkin. She captured Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ wedding in some kinda marvelous, magic way .
