Back from SEASIDE

I'm back from Seaside!! We got back Friday afternoon. It was a great trip and I cannot wait for the next issue of Southern Bride Magazine to come out and for all of you to see the amazing fashion shots we got in Seaside!! I also made 4 great new friends. 3 of them live here in Memphis and I am SO excited to get together with them soon!!

I got so many personal pictures that I am still trying to go through and upload as we speak! So I will share those this week! We stayed in the most incredible house and all had our own bedroom! It was great and such a great location as far as walking to the beach and all the shops and restaurants in Seaside. To see some photos of our trip, visit the Southern Bride Magazine Facebook page - I am working on posting more to that as well.

I will share one photo with you that I took while I was there. It was in the middle of a tablescape photo shoot we were doing off the beach. I took this photo and I'm thinking it just might be frame worthy! I've played around with coloration and I can't decide how I like it best. Which one do you like best?

Ritz Carlton (where Carrie Underwood was Married}

I just got back in town from Georgia, I was with the Southern Bride team for a work trip. We did some business, had some fun and also relaxed!! I will post more on our trip later, but wanted to share an interesting fact about the hotel, The Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation. I learned our first evening there, that this AMAZING hotel was where Carrie Underwood was married!

Have you seen photos of her wedding?? Well if so, that's where I just was. Most of the photos you probably see of her wedding doesn't show a lot of the actual hotel, but let me tell you - it was AMAZING!! And the service was the BEST service I have ever had at a hotel!! WOW! The staff went over and beyond for us, which truly made the experience even better!!

I will post more photos of our fabulous trip later. We had a few meetings, enjoyed some fabulous food, went to the spa, and enjoyed some wonderful wine!! So will be back soon to share more about that and pics!!

Happy Weekend everyone!!
