Chicago couple Katy and Jeff were married in Bluffton, South Carolina at St. Gregory the Great with a reception following at Belfair Plantation on May 18th. The colors were coral and gold, and flowers provided by Old Bluffton Flowers were white garden roses with a few light pink roses added in. Being extremely crafty, Katy did much of the wedding design herself. The invitations and ceremony programs were all designed with her talent in graphic design. The place cards which were boxes in the shapes of bride and grooms were also made my Katy. The table numbers were shown with pictures of the bride and groom at the corresponding age. Another personal touch that was added to the wedding was the wedding cake which was made by the grooms aunt. The “sweets” table also consisted of family cookie recipes from both sides. While Hilton Head Entertainment provided the music, Katy and Jeff provided the flip flops so guests could “Save their souls and DANCE!” Guests came from out of town so it was important for Katy and Jeff to show off the south while everyone partied and enjoyed the weekend!

When high school sweethearts Taylor and Brandon began planning there Spring wedding they had one thing in mind, intimacy. The two were married in June at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens under a huge oak tree with the beautiful Ashley River in the background. Coming from two large families Taylor and Brandon knew they wanted a small wedding that focused on the two of them, the vows they were taking, and the love that they share. Without the stress of a large wedding, they concentrated on what was most important to them: each other. Being a sucker for lace and wanting an old southern wedding, Taylor wore a beautiful strapless lace gown which was accented with a beige ribbon across the middle. Her best accessory: her cowboy boots! When a light afternoon shower started Brandon held a white umbrella over his bride while they recited there vows and exchanged rings with one another. The day could not have been more romantic and special.
Lori and Chris wanted a classic, elegant wedding that really highlighted vintage Boone Hall Plantation.

Stephanie at Sweetgrass Events and Tiger Lily florist created a beautiful reception that used silvers, ivories, and pops of purple throughout. Old photos of the bride and groom were displayed in old rustic frames and hung up to show off the bride and grooms personal style. Lace and burlap were a staple as decorating pieces to pay respect to the South! Many of the decorations were handcrafted by the mother of the bride. Good Food Catering brought southern favorites for guests to dine on. Entertainment by DJ Mateo Jones had guests dancing all night. Cakes by Kasarda created a beautiful four tiered white cake that featured cascading purple flowers. To end the evening the bride and groom were showered with lavender, cheers, and tears!
