Rice Mill Wedding {Jennifer + Adam}

Pin It

I’ll be honest, before I even opened the images from Jennifer + Adam’s wedding, I knew I was going to love it. How can you not when the talented Katherine Miller Events is driving the ship?! But as I started skimming through the details, I knew I was officially head-over-heels…and it didn’t hurt the entire celebration took place at the Historic Rice Mill Building overlooking the beautiful Charleston Harbor. Branch Design Studio created soft bouquets and floral arrangement that included a mix of dahlias, succulents, peonies and dusty miller to achieve an effortlessly romantic look. Thanks to Good Food Catering, their guests dined on a plethora of delicious hors d’oeuvres that highlighted the bride’s Mexican heritage. A Paella and COAST Taco Station topped off an already amazing menu! Thanks to Charlotte Elizabeth Photographer for capturing this memorable Lowcountry Wedding!

McCrady’s Wedding {Bridgette + Asher}

Oh, lawd! We’ve got a dreamy Charleston wedding at a Downtown gem, McCradys, from Jenna Marie Photography. The sweet couple (and seriously, aren’t the presh?) compiled a talented team of Charleston wedding vendors to pull off this one-of-a-kind celebration! The bridesmaids were dressed in sky blue frocks that were adorned with fabulously feminine bouquets from Branch Design Studio, that I am just dying over. What I really love is how the ladies of Sweet Grass Social Event & Design nailed the entire reception. The gals pulled in a chic yellow chevron pattern to bring the entire soiree together.

Pepper Plantation Wedding {Brittany + Tim }

You’re going to die over this charming, Lowcountry wedding at the Pavilion at Pepper Plantation. Designed by Winship Productions, every ounce of Brittany + Tim’s Charleston wedding is so stinkin’ cute I can barely stand it! The bridesmaids were dressed in icy, blue LulaKate dresses matched with vibrant, pink peony bouquets from Branch Design Studio (that will make you melt!), while the men sported classic tan suits. I have to say this might be one of my favorite bridal parties ever. Not only do I love everything about their attire, but they were clearly ready to have a good time. The group shots Reese Moore Photography captured after the ceremony are just priceless. At the reception, Brittany kicked up her cowboy boots as guests dined on delicious Lowcountry cuisine before enjoying tasty treats from the surprise ice cream truck! At the end of the evening, the newlyweds jumped in their antique car and jetted away!

Creek Club at I’On Wedding {Megan + Ryan}

You can call me a slacker all you want, but I’m officially throwing in the towel on this week and getting this long, holiday weekend started early! To keep our Lowcountry ladies tied over until we pick back up on Tuesday (yes, I said Tuesday!), we’ve got a fabulous Charleston wedding captured by Mell Bell of Richard Bell Photography to share. Before I even took a peek at the pictures, I read through the list of talented vendors and stunning venues that were involved in this Lowcountry affair and immediately, I knew it would be a wedding worth sharing. Ryan was a graduate of the Citadel (Class of ’05), so the obvious (and meaningful) choice for the ceremony venue was on the grounds of the campus at the historic Summerall Chapel. Following their nuptials, the couple and their guests headed over to the picturesque Creek Club at I’On (one of my favorite Charleston wedding venues!) for a lively evening of celebrating. The guests were treated to quite the spread from Jacob’s Kitchen, while Branch Design Studio wowed them with gorgeous centerpieces and Cupcake provided an array of tasty treats.

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly gawk anymore over a wedding, Chi Photography sent over Heather + Bart’s Pavilion at Patriots Point affair and I’m right back to square one! For starters, I die over this color palette of brown, purple and green. I mean, I almost can’t handle it. It’s vibrant and rich and just makes me want to see more and more of these gorgeous Branch Design Studio bouquets. Amazing. Secondly, the adorable couple picked the perfect Lowcountry venue to host their nuptials…wouldn’t you say? The Pavilion at Patriots Point not only offers a beautiful scenery, but it also allows offers countless options! Heather + Bart had an elegant outdoor ceremony that was accessorized with chic white umbrellas, petals along the aisle and simple, yet stunning, lanterns. After saying ‘I do’, they posed for portraits with the Charleston Harbor in the background before joining their guest under the tent to get the celebration started. Relish Catering delivered a delicious dose of Lowcountry cuisine while Branch Design Studio transformed the space into a swanky, coastal atmosphere with fabulous centerpieces.

I think it’s the warm weather, or maybe it’s the fact I tend to get lost in a sea of Pinterest pinning amazing one-of-a-kind centerpieces like a crazy person. Either way, now that Spring wedding season is upon us, I just had to share some of these beauties with yall. Some are pretty simple, sticking to one single element (baby’s breathe, tulips) while others are stunningly ornate. You’ll see a gorgeous array of colors, some more vibrant and others in muted spring tones. Oh, and of course we couldn’t post all of these heavenly blooms without including a few stunners from some of our favorite Lowcountry wedding vendors, (Charleston based Ooh! Events and Branch Design Studios), that will completely knock your socks off. Per usual
