I’ve been slaving away this week as I work on adding a whole new vendor section to A Lowcountry Wedding (keep your eyes peeled, it will be launching at the beginning of July!), so needless to say, I’m really looking forward to taking it easy this weekend!  So, to kick off this gorgeous Lowcountry weekend, we’re sharing a touching, Charleston National Golf Club affair from the crew at Richard Bell Photography, that was coordinated by Charleston Wedding Design.  The beautiful Bride, Erica, walked down the aisle to the sounds of Charleston Virtuosi before meeting her Groom at the altar to say ‘I do’ in front of their closest friends and family.  Thanks to the sweet couple for giving us a peek inside their fairytale wedding…

“We feel our story is unique and our relationship has transcended an ocean, time zones and united two cultures. This has been a huge commitment of love, time, patience and unswerving determination to be together. The trials and tribulations of our relationship together with our faith have been a stern test, which we’re certain will help our marriage stand the test of time. Erica and I have become passionate travelers (we’ve had to because we are from different countries!) and we’ve weaved our love of travel into the fabric of our wedding. Each table is personalized to represent an important milestone in our relationship. Bahamas – our first holiday together, London, England and Westerville, Ohio – our hometowns, Las Vegas – where we met and our journey together began, San Francisco – our future home and of course Charleston – where we fell in love and will be married. We have a vision for our wedding which is to make it feel personal and each small detail is important to us. We will have strings to play Vivaldi four seasons, which we listened to in an outdoor concert in Somerset, England on Erica’s first visit to the UK. Our Wedding colors of purple and green are inspired by Wimbledon (Toby’s town of birth), where we were fortunate enough to spend a day at the Championships in 2011. We will be sipping on PIMM’S at our cocktail hour, which is a popular English cocktail filled with fresh fruits perfect for a springtime affair. At the end of the night a black cab will be driving us from the reception, which we think is fitting because we currently live in London and regularly use these cabs to get around. Charleston National Golf course is a fitting location for our Wedding as Erica’s father, Ken, who sadly passed away in February 2011 was a keen golfer. He would of been delighted to have known that the happiest day of his daughters life would be spent in the beautiful setting, one which brought him so much joy in his life.”
