Whitney and Christopher

Whitney and Christopher had a beautiful wedding at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church with a reception following at Patriots Point Links.  Holly at A Charleston Event did a wonderful job helping Whitney created the perfect day around her beautiful coral and navy colors.  Paper Dolls Wedding Hair and Make-Up had Whitney looking beautiful as she walked down the isle to her groom.  Classical Charleston always brings a wonderful ambiance to the wedding ceremony.  Whitney and Chris had several personal touches to the evening including:  Crab Cakes to represent Chris’s hometown, seagrass flowers to represent South Carolina, where Whitney went to college, and succulents to represent the state they live in, Arizona.  We enjoyed getting to party and dance to a new band out of North Carolina, The Band Punch.  It was a beautiful and great day had by all!

Tori & Ryan

Both Ryan and Tori grew up in Greenville, and attended the University of South Carolina.  However, they did not meet until they both moved to Charleston and were introduced by mutual friends.  Tori wanted an outdoor plantation wedding, and Magnolia Plantation was the perfect venue for her.  Pure Luxe did a wonderful job coordinating the event, and Snyder Events provided all the rentals.  Carrie at Paper Dolls did an amazing job to make sure Tori looked stunning on her special day.  The bride and groom had white umbrellas set out around outside so guests could keep cool in the July sun.  Congratulations Tori and Ryan!  Tori and Ryan’s wedding was also featured in Savvy Deets Bridal and you can check it out here! tsmith-0274 tsmith-0530 tsmith-0632 tsmith-0637 tsmith-0651 tsmith-0656 tsmith-0705 tsmith-0942 tsmith-0945 tsmith-0946 tsmith-1214

Laurette & Bob

Laurette and Bob wanted a fun, laid back wedding ceremony and a huge party afterwards to celebrate their love!  Boone Hall Plantation was the setting for this special day and the wonderful staff from MOSAIC did a fantastic job designing, coordinating, and catering the event.  I love the outdoor tea party feel that the day had.  Blue Plant Green Events provided beautiful colorful flowers, and as an added bonus, Coastal Crust was there so guests could munch on pizza throughout the night.  Congrats Laurette and Bob, we are so glad we got to be apart of your fun day~  torrence-0274 torrence-0314 torrence-0472 torrence-0582 torrence-0586 torrence-0603 torrence-0677 torrence-0685 torrence-0827 torrence-0872 torrence-0874

Claire & Ryan

Claire and Ryan had a destination wedding at Magnolia Plantation in June, and nothing could rain on their parade.  Cru Catering showcased many southern favorite such as shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles.  Claire and Ryan wanted to keep with the natural beauty of Magnolia and keep the color scheme simple with tans, creams, and pale yellows.  JW Weddings did a great job putting together the floral arrangements, and Lashes & Lace made the bride stunning on her day!  Congrats to Claire and Ryan!sheldon-0087 sheldon-0296 sheldon-0387 sheldon-0392 sheldon-0401 sheldon-0404 sheldon-0423 sheldon-0431 sheldon-0541 sheldon-0721

Venice & Lucio’s Creative Garden Wedding

Today’s wedding is one that I just love!  Venice and Lucio met in college and their wedding shows off 100% their personalities and why they are so perfect for one another.  Starting with a love for all things Bolt, they had their Bolt stuffed animals act as ring bearers for the ceremony.  Even better, Venice’s bouquet was made out of sheet music from Frozen.  Venice and Lucio sang there vows to one another, yes they are multi-talented because they also had a choreographed dance for the first dance! We are so glad we got to know them, and what a great day to be apart of!  This wedding was also published on Poptastic Bride, and you can check it out here! mao-0066 mao-0149 mao-0208 mao-0263 mao-0444 mao-0452 mao-0667 mao-0920 mao-0931 mao-0944 mao-0950 mao-1029

Nicole & Justin at Magnolia Plantation

 

Nicole’s vision for her wedding was an outdoor garden wedding in the south, and Magnolia Plantation was the perfect venue for her special day!  We got to work with some AMAZING vendors for Nicole and Justin’s wedding including Morgan Gallo Events, Charleston Bakery, Branch Design Studio,  All About You Entertainment, Event Drs, Paper Dolls, and Crazy Dutchman Catering.  Nicole used plum, teal, and natural greenery throughout the day.   So glad we got to be apart of their special day, and what a beautiful day it was!  Congrats you two!
