Mary and Gene

When it came to time to plan their wedding Gene wanted to keep tradition and have the military type wedding at the Citadel. The two wanted to incorporate the traditional military wedding with a laid back beach feel for the reception. They also wanted to incorporate Charleston culture into the reception because they knew it would be a destination type wedding since all of their families are scattered across the US. As a fun touch Mary and Gene chose to go with Shag dancing and lessons, low country boil and pulled bbq pork, and a sword line at the end of the ceremony to keep with their Charleston/Military them! To top off the fun Cocky the Gamecock even made a surprise appearance complete with dancing!

Megan and Ben

Megan and Ben wanted to have a laid back, low country chic wedding, incorporating some of the elements that they love about Charleston. The two love to travel, and with Charleston being their favorite city, the two wanted their guests to feel like they had a Charleston experience. When it came to colors, flowers and details the key was elegant, but not over the top fancy! With a cookie bar, southern comfort food and “make your own tea” mason jar favors the wedding was the perfect combo of the comfort of Charleston as well as the elegance.

Melissa and Doug

When Doug and Melissa got engaged they knew that they wanted a small, intimate wedding! Melissa’s family has been vacationing down at Folly Beach for most of Melissa’s life, so getting married down on the beach was very special. Doug’s family lives down in New Orleans and both Melissa and Doug have family in Ohio, so meeting up in SC was perfect for everyone to vacation while celebrating their union. They key to their day was simplicity and love. The two only wanted the day to have those nearest and dearest, they only wanted details that represented them and last but not least… shoes optional!
