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!

Alicia & Steven’s Old Wide Awake Plantation Fall Inspired Wedding

/in /by

I love Old Wide Awake Plantation in Hollywood, the house, the grounds, the trees, the pond and fountain, all great features!  Alicia spent a lot of time working on wedding details from the center pieces to the signs, with acorns everywhere. It was a gorgeous fall day and their details represented it! Instead of your typical sand ceremony, Alicia and Steven did an Acorn Ceremony, mixing together acorns from his home town and her home town.  The cake was gorgeous with a basket weave icing and flowers on top. And since Steven works in the food industry, I knew the food would be awesome… and IT WAS! It was the first time I have ever seen a Grilled Cheese Station!  Even the moon looked amazing, as the sun went down. Truly a great day, for a sweet couple!
