Will and Lisa were married in October at Old Wide Awake Park in Hollywood, South Carolina. Wanda captured the rustic of the barns and also the nautical theme of the dock.
Leslie and Ed were married at their home in Summerville, South Carolina. They were surrounded by their children and closest friends and family. Leslie was escorted down the aisle with her son on one arm and her father on the other. The reception was a traditional backyard barbecue with food provided by Sticky Fingers and the local band Plain Jane provided entertainment for the evening. One of the most unique aspects of the wedding were the hand bell choir, Palmetto Bronze Handbells. Hand bells are an old southern tradition that was used throughout the ceremony. Sweetest Blessings created a beautiful three tiered round cake which was wrapped with yellow, navy blue, light blue, and white stripes. Decor included lanterns with candles and small flowers inside. The picnic tables were dressed up for the occasion with a navy tablecloth and a burlap runner with a “B” inscribed on the ends.
High school sweethearts Katie and Damon wanted a simple, yet formal southern wedding. The groom is a graduate of the Citadel and so the bride incorporated many military traditions into their wedding, including a sword arch following the ceremony and the cut the wedding cake with a military saber. Beth at Wildflowers, Inc created beautiful arrangements to match Katie’s colors of purple, silver and orange. The ceremony was held at Summerall Chapel, with the reception at the Citadel Alumni Center. The brides dress was from New York Bride and Groom and Ashley Bakery prepared a beautiful cake for the occasion.
Coming from Memphis, Tennessee Michael and Ashley decided to join their lives together at Creek Club at I’on in Mount Pleasant, SC.

Beth from Wildflowers, Inc created beautiful spring time bouquets for the bride and her attendants. D’lish made a small tiered cake along with different flavored cupcakes for the occasion. The couple was sent off in a boat surrounded by sparklers.
Lori and Chris wanted a classic, elegant wedding that really highlighted vintage Boone Hall Plantation. Everything from the cotton boutineers to the mason jars showed off a rustic yet sophisticated look that outlined the huge Oak Trees at the entrance to Boone Hall. Wedding hair was by Carrie at Paper Dolls Wedding Hair & Make-Up. Modern Trousseau helped Lori pick out her beautiful mermaid style gown. 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!
Jesalyn & Rich wanted an intimate wedding with beautiful details, and they really nailed it! They chose the Planters Inn because of its charm and Charleston feel. It was perfect for a short stroll for photos after the wedding!
Many of you may remember Chad & Holly’s incredible wedding day story from October 2013. Chad was in a car accident the day of the wedding and fractured his L1 Vertebrae. But they were still able to say I Do that day.

Well it was about five months after the wedding, and we were able to go out to Boone Hall Plantation for their wedding photos! It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Holly wore her dress again (and WOW, Mell Bell and I remembered immediately why we loved it, she looks amazing). Chad was able to wear the suit that he was unable to wear at their wedding. Chad is doing great! His back is still healing and he has gone back to work. They both are so in love and it shows in every photo how grateful that are that Chad survived the crash ON HIS WEDDING DAY and that their love has great even more through this!
