03 Jan Top 10 Most Liked Instagram Posts of 2018
We’re still on semi-vacation over here and not allll the way ready to leave the newness of the New Year behind, so here’s a roundup of the top 10 most-liked images we posted on Instagram in 2018. From three issues of our parent title, Charleston Weddings magazine, to the hundreds of wonderful stories we’ve featured on our mag site, blog, and social media, it’s safe to say that 2018 was pretty fantastic. Congrats to every last couple, wedding party member, vendor, and pup (yep!) we showcased, and best of luck to all of you in the coming turn ’round the sun. As for 2019 on the whole? We’re ready for you!
Now, we think Lenore looks like a real-life princess with her grandma “G” looking the part of royal maid of honor.

Congrats to Charleston’s own @katemcdonaldbridal for making the cover of @martha_weddings via her muse (and now, real-life bride) @christinazapolski! We’re dying—DYING—over that blue-and-white frock, hand-painted by @artbynatalietaylor, and her second, swanky gown, too. Bravo to all the other talented Holy City vendors involved and most of all? Best, best wishes to former @missamericasc and @chasfashweekmodel Christina for tying the knot with her now-husband Matthew. / planning + design @duetweddings / venue @pphgevents #LowndesGrove / gown, veil, + maids @katemcdonaldbridal / florals @charlestonstems / stationery @ambermoondesign / gown artist @artbynatalietaylor / bridesmaids’ earrings @hart_studio / h + m @abpmakeup / image by @corbingurkin

Live life in full bloom, right? ? When Charleston floral and event designer @thelindsaybishop is faced with a challenge, she accepts, and goodness gracious, she delivers. 875 tulips (yep, you read that right) turned this table into a literal work of living art. Wowza. / venue @skinnydipcharleston / florals @thelindsaybishop / host/event design + stylist @kristinchambless / sponsored by @olay / tableware and chairs @oohevents / catering @hambycatering / calligraphy @j.lilydesign / dessert @bib.on / image by @rachelredphotography
How about this for a backyard wedding? Yes, please! Here’s a pro tip: Use invisible ghost chairs on the lawn to keep the visual “clutter” at a minimum. / planning, design + draping @yojevents / florals @stephaniegibbsevents/ cake @ashleybakery / rentals @oohevents and @eventworksrentals / image by @clayaustin

Bridesmaids in formals spilling out of an historic home and loading into a replica 1923 bus to head to the main event—just how we roll in the Holy City on any given weekend.
