Danni Baird is married!
The Southern Charm alum, 40, tied the knot with Nick Volz on Saturday, Nov. 23, in South Carolina. According to the couple's wedding website, the ceremony was held at a private residence on Sullivan's Island, just miles from downtown Charleston.
Baird, who appeared as a friend in seven seasons of the Bravo series before exiting in 2021, shared a glimpse of the nuptials on her Instagram Stories. She reposted a photo, initially shared by her friend Madison Simon (who has made cameos on Southern Charm), showing her walking on the arm of her brother while wearing a white mermaid-style dress with sheer sleeves and intricate lace and beading detail.
She carried a bouquet of white flowers and wore her hair down, styled in soft waves.
Baird wrote over the post, "My brother walking me down the aisle ❤️." In her own caption, Simon called her friend "the most beautiful bride."
Another photo reshared by Baird shows the newlyweds sealing the deal with a kiss following their wedding ceremony. The former reality star also shared a clip of the elegant reception setup, with tables and chairs arranged under a translucent tent decorated with twinkly lights and candelabra.
Baird also posted a snapshot (originally shared by Simon) of a very special wedding guest — her and Volz's baby son, Yates, whom they welcomed in January. In the adorable photo, Simon cradles a sleepy looking Yates — who is sharply dressed for the special occasion — against her chest. "I got to hold her sweetest baby Yates last night and even fell more in love," Simon wrote in a caption.
Baird revealed her engagement to PEOPLE back in July, sharing that Volz popped the question on June 30 during a family walk with their son not far from their Charleston home.
"We had just driven five hours back from Lake Keowee, where we were visiting my parents, and he was like, 'Do you want to go for a stroll at the Battery?' " she recalled. "And I thought he just wanted to stretch his legs, but next thing I knew I turned around and he was down on one knee, telling me, 'This is long overdue.' "
Volz presented her with a ring that he custom designed, featuring a series of smaller stones embedded in a 24-karat white gold band. "It's absolutely beautiful, I love it," she said of the jewelry piece. "And it's interesting enough that I won't mind looking at it for the rest of my life."

The couple, who met at a mutual friend's 40th birthday party, had initially planned to do a simple courthouse wedding ahead of Yates' birth — but their son arrived more than two weeks early. "We were like, 'We'll just wait and have an actual wedding,' " Baird told PEOPLE, noting that the plan then shifted to marrying before Yates' first birthday.
At the time she shared her engagement news, Baird described Volz as her "best friend," gushing, "He's such an authentic person; so lovable and kind."
"And he's super hot, so that helps!" she added, with a laugh.
Baird — who creates commissioned artwork and personalized pet portraits under her company DB Designs — recalled that the two had "so much in common" when they first met.
"Like, we both had the same Australian Shepherds, we're both the same age, we both lived in the same cities — but we were also different enough that we balanced each other out really, really well," she told PEOPLE. "I just knew that he was my person."
