I have such a treat in store for you today with this stunning shoot from LUCY CUNEO and stylist MALLORY JOYCE � who also created the drop dead gorgeous florals! With RIVEROAKS in Charleston (eeek I'm visiting there in a couple of months!) providing the stunning backdrop it's a picture perfect scene that oozes charm and modern sophistication.

The ladies set the scene for us; �Beautiful model Alex enjoys a morning of luxury and gifts; toying with her jeweled shoes, she is resplendent in a romantic silk robe from Stella McCartney. United with handsome Bryan, she is married in a traditional gown from CHAVIANO COUTURE.

Mallory Joyce's vibrant florals are the rich color palette a Southern wedding demands. Pops of burgundy and eggplant and folds of raw linen accent a table-scape scattered with crystal and candles, providing warm washes of flickering light.

As the sun winds down and formality gives way to familiarity, Alex loosens her hair and changes into an incredible free-flowing dress from CAROL HANNAH. She sparkles as they celebrate in the last of the light, the perfect end to a magical day!�
