Happy Birthday to the girl who keeps my head on straight, ! 5 years ago this girl randomly asked me to help with weddings, and the rest is history. Thank you for loving me and my entire family, always being there no matter what, but most importantly thank you for helping with our business. We would not be where we are today without you!

𝓢𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓮! I would like to introduce our newest member of the Southern Gates team! My husband and I welcomed our babygirl into the world the first week of March. This past month has been the 𝓼𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓼𝓽!

I have had a ton of people to reach out over the past few weeks, inquiring if we were still doing weddings. The answer is 𝔂𝓮𝓼! For the past year, we were “off” social media as this is our only form of advertising. I hate turning people away so I decided to stop posting. I want to say THANK YOU for all the referrals this past year! Year 10 looks a lot different than years past with fewer weddings but I’m excited to spend this time with my 𝓵𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓵𝓮 𝓯𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂! We do still have a few Fall dates available, and currently booking into 2025! I’m excited to get back into the groove of things, and to share some of our weddings from this past year! As always - thank you for your 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓼𝓾𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽 🤍

Heather and Brandon Overton reached out to us the last week of September 2023, with hopes of planning their dream destination wedding, and private reception back home in Augusta. We planned their beautiful ceremony and reception in palmetto bluff, and a reception for 250 people back here in Augusta in a 3 month period - only 103 days! We were honored to be given this task from this sweet couple, and we had so much FUN! We are so thankful for all the vendor teams we worked with last week and are excited to share more in the weeks to come!

𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓅𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓀𝑒𝓃𝒹: Saturday mid morning, I went to the bridal suite to check on all the ladies before it was time for everyone to get dressed. I walk into a few of the bridesmaids trying to get this stain off (scroll right) off the bride’s dress. We weren’t quite sure exactly what it was, but it got worst as their hand oil and spray tans touched the dress. I scooped up the dress & some of our magic items, and TADA! We got the stain out without the bride noticing. I say all of this to remind all of the ladies out there how important it is to hire a planner! Hire a professional planner that knows the tips & tricks to insure YOUR wedding day goes smoothly! We are currently booking Fall 2024, + Spring 2025, we would love to be your bestie through the planning process & your wedding day!

One of our 𝒻𝒶𝓋𝑜𝓇𝒾𝓉𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈 from a wedding day is when the bride + groom have a 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝒹𝒶𝓃𝒸𝑒. We clear the reception area of guests, and it’s just the two of them. ♥

Our summer break is officially over, and we are 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈! This summer was the 𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 in 6 years that I truly took time away from this business to spend time with family, and friends after 26 weddings this past year (not including my own, and my little sister). This summer was a 𝓂𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝓃𝑒𝑒𝒹𝑒𝒹 𝒷𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀.

We have so many exciting things happening over the next couple months & past weddings to share, so we pulled one of our favorites from with Justin + one of our favorite couples! We are so excited for our upcoming weddings including a few destination weddings to our favorite places!

When designing weddings (especially for receptions) we are always looking for ways to create depth and dimension to spaces, and one of the best ways to do that is through using various textures & heights.

If you’re wanting to create a similar design for your wedding, let's chat! We have openings in Fall 2023, 2024 and yes, we are booking spring 2025!

Nothing we love more than a beautiful flat lay 💌

Invitations are worth every penny — they set the stage, the mood, and are the first impression for your guests on what is to come 🤍
