I can’t think of a better way to honor our new site than to kick off the week with a fabulous Lowcountry wedding from Richard Bell Photography…so, that’s just what I’m going to do!  Rachel + David said their ‘I do’s’ this past September in a beautiful waterfront ceremony at The Island House.  This spectacular Charleston wedding venue is located on the banks of the Stono River and provides a coastal breeze and the perfect backdrop for those looking for a little piece of Lowcountry heaven.

The couple enlisted a team of Charleston’s most-sought after vendors to execute their Big Day!  Rachel has always been a fan of scouring flea markets to find new treasures and with the help of the creative minds at Tiger Lily Weddings, they incorporated her passion into the wedding day decor.  Antique birdcages were used to hold their custom programs, an old wooden game box held well wishes from the guests and a timeless typewriter greeted guests as they arrived at the ceremony.   After their vows were exchanged, Mell Bell from Richard Bell Photography captured the couple in their first few moments together as husband and wife in the picturesque butterfly garden.  As the sun set on the island, the trees came alive with hanging lanterns that created a warm, cozy glow.  Cafe Catering treated guests to a fabulous spread of Lowcountry cuisine as they danced the night away in celebration of the adorable twosome!
