Warm tones ruled the runway at the Charleston Weddings Spring Bridal Show when designers and boutiques debuted fresh looks. SCAD’s Faith Thornburg (named Elle magazine’s Fashion Next winner) went for a buttercream yellow while Charleston’s Rachel Gordon opted for swanky nudes and taupes. The show’s first-ever Emerging Bridal Designer Competition winner, Calvin James Bryant of Atlanta, was all about a blushing bride.
