It’s no question that the Lowcountry is blessed with some of the most jaw-dropping wedding venues in the South and one that will always find it’s way to the top of my venue list is Charleston’s Boone Hall Plantation. It’s got everything a Lowcountry bride could dream of….Spanish moss dripping from every tree, a sprawling plantation home encircled by a stunning wrought-iron fence and immaculate grounds that make for the perfect Lowcountry backdrop….I mean, the place is just magical. So, it’s no surprise that Boone Hall is the venue of choice for dreamy, Charleston weddings and swoon-worthy bridal sessions. Lucky for us, the talented Chi Photography captured Southern Belle,Amanda as she posed for the camera in her airy, textured gown and sassy pink heels.

I’ve been totally digging how brides and vendors have been incorporating garland into our beautiful Lowcountry weddings. It’s fun, whimsical and a different way to spice up your ceremony altar, dessert table or outdoor reception. Take a look at a few of our favorite, dreamy ways to add a touch of garland to your wedding day! I’m loving these balls of yarn…presh.

Ohhh, ladies! We’re diving right into this week with a big dose of Lowcountry wedding heaven that is sure to knock your socks off. Captured by our friend Brooke Roberts Photography, this fabulous inspiration shoot highlights everything we love about this time of the year. Getting hitched by the coast lends itself well to beautiful outdoor event, whether it’s your wedding reception, rehearsal dinner or an intimate shower…you just can’t go wrong. With the help of Judi Watson Florals and Dutchman Designs, the team matched soft furnishings with pops of colorful accent pieces to achieve a cozy, laid back setting at The St. Simons Lighthouse and A.J. Jones Heritage Center. Aren’t you loving the summery color palette of turquoise and pink? The models were outfitted in dresses from Lady in White and Snippety Do Da’s topped them off with the perfect hair and make up. Possibly my favorite part? That food! Tasteful Temptations whipped up some delicious Lowcountry cuisine (and a tasty specialty drink!) perfect for a garden affair.

It’s been in the works for awhile now, but we’re excited to finally kick off a new segment! We’re constantly getting inquiries from our Lowcountry brides asking for our guidance in determining their perfect wedding venue. So, for your viewing pleasure, you’ll find that every Friday we’ll be featuring some of our beloved Lowcountry Wedding Venues! We’ll cover our favorites from up and down the South Carolina coastline (Hilton Head, Charleston, Myrtle Beach…you name it!) and they’ll range from beautiful Southern Plantations to historic landmarks and modern hotels to waterfront properties.

To properly get this party started, we’re featuring one of Charleston’s most spectacular, waterfront wedding venues…and boy, is it a stunner! Just over the bridge from Downtown Charleston, you’ll find the breathtaking, Harborside East located at the base of the Ravenel Bridge. This versatile venue boasts over 10,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor function space with killer views of the Charleston Harbor…not too shabby, eh? It’s the perfect wedding venue for any Charleston bride looking for a chic, refined atmosphere with that signature, laid back lowcountry vibe and a cool, coastal breeze.

The inside is immaculate. Beautiful, dark wood and gorgeous light fixtures.

Harborside East offers four waterfront ceremony options with views of the bridge and an on-site bridal room for you and your bridesmaids to prep. Oh, and your guests will be provided 200 on-site parking spaces. Pretty clutch.
