I Do II: Design Chic

A warm welcome to my next guests in the series - Kristy and Beth. This mother-daughter duo have impeccable taste and are the force behind DESIGN CHIC.

Kristy and Beth have to admit it: They wouldn't change one thing about their weddings, as they hold such perfect memories. When I asked them to think about a wedding day "redo" they weren't sure what they would do! But it was such a tempting offer that they couldn't help but let their minds wander...

A beach wedding redo? Yes please!

Since the first weddings were large, Kristy and Beth would like this one to be an intimate, seated affair, overlooking a sparkling blue shore, with perfect weather, of course. Since Kristy and her hubby honeymooned in the British Virgin Islands. Why not have everyone fly down and celebrate before the vacation?

Big or small, casual or formal, place cards in perfect calligraphy are are a must!

A makeshift aisle, beach style.

Everyone has a different element that, to them, "makes" an event. For these style mavens, it's flowers. For a wedding surrounded by natural beauty, keep the flowers simple, yet plentiful to coordinate with the other outdoor elements.

Snowtinis were the signature cocktail at the real wedding, but mint juleps in sterling, monogrammed julep cups are such a requirement for a southern, summer bride.

Strings then, strings now. These ladies still have to walk down the aisle to Trumpets Voluntaire. That burst of brass gives them chills!

Dinner should be surf -- fresh caught, of course -- and turf with a touch of the exotic. These orchids are a stunning addition.

The best part of any meal is dessert. Cake is great, but why not savor many different flavors?

Coral and shells make this cake fun and whimsical but still elegant -- all the things this wedding should be!

Thanks to all the readers for RSVPing the Design Chic seaside wedding redo! And thank you to Kristy and Beth for such a stylish post.
