Charleston Wedding {Chloe + Kyle} Cabell House

I actually saw Chloe's wedding when her photographer, Taylor Rae Photography, had posted a teaser shot on her facebook page.  From there I was hooked.   Chloe's the epitome of my ideal Southern bride.  Her hair and makeup are effortlessly perfect and her gown just stops me in my tracks.  Full skirt with 3/4 length lace sleeves?  Yes, please.  So, naturally, I had to include her Charleston wedding at the Cabell House in our premier issue of A Lowcountry Wedding, and, from the looks of it, you've all been loving it!  Dying to see more?! Check out all the details in our complete digital edition of A Lowcountry Wedding Mag which you can purchase here!

Chloe made the wedding her own, but the beautiful contributions her family made simply cannot be ignored. The bride chose a color palate of greys and white with a hint of black that created an effortless and graceful feel. These colors were incorporated in the handmade pillow her mother crafted for her nephew, the ring bearer, to carry down the aisle. Also incorporated in the color palate were the white peonies and roses that were seen in all of the day’s floral arrangements. The bridal bouquet was completed by a small antique bell that Chloe’s grandmother has worn all of her life.

After the courtyard ceremony, the guests sat down to a family style meal at an extended farm table where they were treated to a traditional Southern fare of the fried chicken, mac and cheese, country ham, and fried okra. Spanish moss served as a table runner, which was lined with subdued floral arrangements in mercury glass votives. The intimate mood of the evening was truly set by the flower filled chandelier hanging over the table, which the father of the bride crafted for the occasion.

Lowndes Grove Plantation {Jackie + Matt}

Okay, so I know it's late on Friday, but I couldn't not send you off into the weekend with a little Lowcountry wedding loveliness, especially when it was created by that dream team over at Pure Luxe Bride!  Jackie + Matt tied the knot this August in a traditional ceremony before heading over to the gorgeous Lowndes Grove Plantation for a real Charleston wedding celebration!  The crew at Fish cooked up a delicious seated dinner where guests had the option of chicken, ravioli or swordfish.  After, they enjoyed an evening under the Lowcountry stars where they indulged in a cigar station and the tunes of Permanent Vacation.  Thanks to Red Shutter Studio for capturing the entire day!  Oh, and how could I forget!  Happy Anniversary to my new neighbors and friends, Francesca and Justin, on their 5 year wedding anniversary!  I hope you two have a wonderful weekend!

Charleston Wedding Inspiration {Harborside East}

A group of talented Charleston wedding vendors recently teamed up for a chic, plum inspired shoot overlooking the Cooper River Bridge, and the images from Reese Moore Photography will leave you weak-in-the-knees!  The purple perfection took place at one of our favorite Charleston wedding venues, Harborside East, and allowed for a picturesque, backdrop of the Charleston Harbor.  The ladies of Fabulous Fete were the masterminds behind the whole design.  They dreamed up a plum evening with ombre touches complete with a modern cake from The Cake Stand, sleek sequined pillows in varying shades of purple and orchids, lots of dreamy orchids!

Sullivans Island Wedding {Brigid + Drew}

If you're considering an intimate setting for your Charleston wedding, you'll love Brigid + Drew's Lowcountry affair from Charleston wedding vendor, Reese Moore Photography.  Thanks to Reese for giving us all the details... "Stunning bride Brigid and husband-to-be Drew wanted a small, intimate, elegant fete for their wedding, so the two found a beautiful private home with an epic view of Sullivan's Island for their big day. They welcomed guests with eco-friendly, signature glasses from Mr. B's Sustainable Glassworks, and the couple wed on the porch overlooking the sweeping views of the beach. Brigid cried tears of joy throughout the ceremony... as did every other person there. Literally not a dry eye in the place! Then, after some photos on the beach, it was time for an elegant 3 course dinner on a long table decked with burlap, mason jars, candles, tulips, and low green and white center pieces. Brigid and Drew did their first dance on the deck and sunset, the perfect ending to a perfect day!"
