Many couples come here each season to exchange “I Do’s” with their feet in the sand, in a historic cottage, beachside villa or one of our other beautiful locations. Destination weddings take a lot of work and planning. Google and Pinterest are your friends, but even the vast results of wedding reception venues, wedding photographers and more– it can be overwhelming. If you aren’t from the area, planning can appear to be daunting and even intimidating if you don’t know where to start. Our Saint Simons Island wedding infographic is a great place to start at a glance, but chances are you are looking for a bit more information if you are considering a trip to the area for your wedding. We’ve prepared a mini e-book that should help answer major questions about where to start, who to hire and finding out which island is best for you. It’s a quick read and will get you prepared for some big decisions you’ll have to make.

20 Reasons You Should Have an Unplugged Wedding

Wedding Advice

This is important.

So important that during every client’s logistics consult, we ask if clients would like to have an unplugged wedding.

Every. Single. Time.

Most of our clients haven’t heard of it and when they google the term, come back immediately and say, “YES! We want one!”. The remaining will say something to the effect of, “No, we think it’s really fun to see all the images that our guests take of our wedding”. And that sounds good in theory, until you get your images back and crucial or memorable moments have been ruined by an influx of guests with their arms held high in the air with their cell phones, cameras and iPads. I can’t imagine how deflating it must be to get your images and see your absolute favorite shot, to have it ruined by clutter and intrusion. The fact of the matter is, you’ve invested a great deal of money in the talent you’ve hired document your day. Part of that talent is their interpretation of your day’s events, not photoshopping people out of them. It is rare that there is a picture that your guests will take that will rival the professional quality of the one your photographer will take. Your guests’ pictures aren’t as important as your photographer’s– period. Your guests aren’t as invested in your images as you are. They are just moments that will sit on their phone and will ultimately be deleted. For you, this is the moment.

So without further ado, here are 20 reasons you should have an unplugged wedding:

And I’ll just be honest– there are many ceremonies where the decor is sparse, the background is lacking, etc. either by choice or necessity. A great photographer has the artistic ability to hone in on angles and details to make it look beyond fabulous. When your guests get in the way, your photographer is greatly limited and has to widen the shot, not only including intrusive guests, but also missing out on making your ceremony look like a million dollars.

If you don’t need any more convincing, here are some examples of signs that can be put up at the entrance of your ceremony. I suggest that you also have your officiant or coordinator make an announcement during the prelude as a reminder.

Fashion Monday: Teri Jon Mother of the Bride Dresses

mother of the groom and mother of the bride dress ideas and inspiration

One of the hardest gowns to find for most weddings isn’t just the wedding dress. The mother of the bride dress is just as important as the bridesmaids dresses and sets the tone for the mother of the groom’s dress. These gowns need not be frumpy, plain or drab. While they should over power the bride’s gown, she also shouldn’t blend in with the bridesmaids. It’s an important day for her– your mom deserves to look and feel her best, too!

Teri Jon offers some beautiful options for the 2014 wedding season for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. They range from classic and elegant to sleek and sophisticated. These gowns are absolutely stunning statement pieces that can be worn to other weddings (depending upon the style, color and formality of the event) or other formal events.
