# Whimsical Inspiration: Styled Shoot on the Hill

July 15, 2015 Elizabeth Sherrill

When we saw the details for this shoot, we knew it was going to be one of our favorites. The decor from Vintage Charlotte and Old South Vintage Rentals alone is enough to make your heart beat fast. Add in golden desserts from Wow Factor Cakes with succulents and bright tabletop arrangements by The Blossom Shop and we just flat our died. Can I get married over again, please? I obviously missed out!

# Hats & Heels on the Hill

June 8, 2015 Elizabeth Sherrill

It's no secret we are a big fan of Southern Charm around here. Our first bridal shower on Ritchie Hill in April was everything we imagined and more. The perfect Southern affair! Hydrangeas, lace, big hats, high heels, front porch sitting, and the sweetest group of women gathered to celebrate the beautiful bride-to-be, Amanda.

I love the special touches they added to this shower. The pastel color palette was idyllic. My favorite detail might be the vintage suitcase for collecting cards. Although, seeing a crystal bowl of buttermints brought back many childhood memories! My Aunt Margaret always seemed to have a candy dish (or two) of buttermints laying around Ritchie Hill.

How gorgeous is this crowd!? Southern belles dressed to the nines.

Thank you for celebrating on the Hill and best wishes to Amanda!

XOXO, Liz

# Hot Now: Tasty Wedding Trends

June 5, 2015 Elizabeth Sherrill

In the world of wedding blogs and Pinterest, the traditional wedding dessert is changing forms. Where there once was wedding cake, we now see homemade assorted pies, s'mores bars, candy bars, etc. And why not? Your wedding day should be a reflection of you, and maybe you're just not a cake person!

In honor of National Doughnut Day, we thought we'd share one of our favorite wedding trends: doughnuts! Because who DOESN'T love doughnuts? (No one. It's impossible.) From the Ritchie Hill front porch, sometimes, on those amazing days when the wind is just right, we catch a whiff of the Krispy Kreme bakery on Wilshire Avenue.

This neat treat provides the perfect, bite-size wedding dessert and doubles as a wedding favor! You can dress doughnut holes up in personalized boxes, or have an open doughnut bar with all of your favorite flavors. You can even make them yourself! Check out one recipe here.

Visit our Ritchie Hill Pinterest board for some other trendy treat ideas! In the meantime, see which stores are giving out free doughnuts today!

XOXO, Liz
