Gorgeous Fall Harper Fowlkes House Wedding

Brittany and JW’s Harper Fowlkes House wedding was so gorgeous, and I am so grateful that I could be a part of it. They held their ceremony at the historic Harper Fowlkes House before moving their celebration to Garibaldi’s in downtown Savannah.

Their wedding reception made me realize how much I enjoy shooting receptions at Garibaldi’s – the space is lovely, and the light bounces around in there so nicely because of the windows! Brittany and JW’s celebration was full of joy, color, and fun details like classic cars!

Colorful Fall Harper Fowlkes House Wedding

The Harper Fowlkes House in Savannah, named after Alida Harper Fowlkes, is a historic landmark originally built in 1844. After changing ownership multiple times, Alida purchased it in 1939 for $9,000 and led a restoration to preserve its historical significance. She also rejuvenated several other buildings in Savannah, including the E. Shaver Bookseller and the Olde Pink House. The Harper Fowlkes House stands as her most notable contribution to the city’s architectural heritage.

While this wedding took place in October, Brittany and JW wanted it filled with pops of colors, including my favorite, hot pink! Urban Poppy created a gorgeous bouquet filled with blush, fuchsia, and burgundy flowers and with draping greenery. Ivory, Beau, and Urban Poppy transformed Garibaldi’s into a gorgeous, colorful reception space. Another interesting detail was their vintage cake topper, which is worth mentioning. It’s a family heirloom, and many women in Brittany’s family have used it for their weddings, which I love.
