Lowcountry Weddings {Summer Details}

Pin It

Now that summer has un-officially started, we’ll start seeing loads of beautiful, Lowcountry coastal affairs (and I can’t wait!) While some brides might choose a Hilton Head, beach ceremony, others may opt for a classic, Charleston plantation wedding or a Southern, Myrtle Beach soiree! Regardless of the location, one thing is for certain in the Lowcountry…the temperature will be hot and steamy! So, prep your guests for a wedding they won’t soon forget by adding a few of our favorite Lowcountry must-haves to your wedding day details.

Keep your guests cool during your outdoor ceremony with these fabulously, beachy fans!

For the Boys {Wedding Catering}

While my husband and I were in the midst of planning our wedding, we had some issues seeing eye-to-eye on what was acceptable food to be served at our reception. He wanted to make sure his guy friends we’re going to enjoy their options and wouldn’t be stuck munching on dainty finger sammies. One of his grand ideas was treating our guests to a hot dog eating contest. I kid you not…I can’t make this stuff up. I literally had to pick my mom’s jaw up off the ground when she first heard of his plan. So, after nicely refusing to serve up Oscar Mayer weiners, we compromised on serving late night McDonald’s double cheeseburgers…we had the catering staff pass them out and people went crazy! They still talk about it. So, in honor of all the grooms-to-be who are set on hot dog eating contests or lord knows what else, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite food items that the men on your guest list might enjoy. Let’s face it, if you treat the boys to some hearty food and good booze, everyone’s bound to have a good time.

I would never have thought to serve meatloaf at a wedding but these meatloaf cupcakes with a mashed potato ‘frosting’ and a bite sized, bacon wrapped loaf sound pretty amazing.

Was there every a more Southern beverage station than a Bourbon Bar? Um…no. I love this one designed by Calder Clark. What a fabulous way to involve your guests in creating and tasting their beverage of choice.
