Wedding planning is well under way for Southern Charm alum Olivia Flowers and her fiancé, Alex Williams. The Off-Season host has been open about her wedding planning after getting engaged this past fall, and she had new updates on the event to share, including about the guest list.
Although Olivia and Alex considered having their wedding in Charleston, the current Charlotte residents landed on Texas as the locale. But, she told Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea that she will be inviting her Charleston-based pals, Venita Aspen and Leva Bonaparte, along with Leva's husband, Lamar Bonaparte, to her Texas nuptials.
"Leva and Lamar, they're close family friends, and I would love to have them there," she said. "I think we just want to keep it to the close-knit people...[and] Venita. That would be it."

Olivia also revealed to Page Six that she is one step closer to walking down the aisle this fall now that she's got her venue in mind. "We're deciding between two venues," she admitted. "I'm pretty sure which one I'm leaning towards, and that's the one that we've gotten a little closer with food and stuff. It's in Westlake. It's where I used to live in Texas, so there's sentimental value there. It's a beautiful, beautiful space. And they don't do weddings often."
Texas is especially important for the couple as it is where Alex was once based and where Olivia grew up.
And she already has plans for her party favors, she told The Knot in April. "The reception will take place on a beautiful golf course, so I want to give my guests little party favors to take home that will remind them of the venue," she explained.
Olivia also told The Knot that she is very excited to see how Alex reacts when she walks down the aisle to him. "I think Alex is going to cry when he sees me," she said. "He's the sensitive one in the relationship."
