Coastal Ivory and Navy Wedding at the Rice Mill Building
Ashley + Greg were married in the heart of the Holy City at the French Huguenot Church in a traditional ceremony. After saying 'I do', the couple and their bridal party spent some time posing on the cobblestone streets with their photographer, Dana Cubbage, before joining their guests at the Rice Mill Building for an elegant ivory + navy wedding designed by Candice of Yoj Events. Branch Design Studio created stunning floral arrangements filled with orchids, astilbe and ranunculus while Good Food Catering delivered a tasty array of Lowcountry cuisine. We're loving Bride Ashley's gorgeous gown, the beautiful Jim Smeal creation and the cozy lounge area.

Elegant Rice Mill Wedding in Charleston by Dana Cubbage Weddings
Margie + Matt were married in beautiful Charleston, SC this May, surrounded by their closest family + friends. After a traditional ceremony at Margie's family church, everyone made their way to one of our favorite coastal wedding venues, the Historic Rice Mill building, to celebrate with the newlyweds. With elegant gold decor, accented with green+ white florals, their wedding was simple + timeless, much like the newlyweds! Thanks to Dana Cubbage Weddings for capturing all the details at this lovely Rice Mill Wedding!
From Dana Cubbage Weddings: "Family played a large role in their day, as Matt's 3 sisters were all bridesmaids and Margie's 3 brothers were all groomsmen. I loved how they incorporated all of their siblings into their big day! The bridesmaids stunned in silver sequined dresses and the groomsmen looked dapper in classic black suits. They were a stylish bridal party for sure! Margie + Matt couldn't stop smiling all night and I was LOVING their favors - custom sunglasses - which guests wore all night long and made for a lot of fun photos on the dance floor. I think all couples should give their guests sunglasses!"

Rice Mill Building Wedding by Dana Cubbage Photography + Ooh! Events
We're excited to be back from the long holiday weekend so we can share a dose of coastal perfection from the talented Dana Cubbage Weddings. You may remember awhile back when we had the pleasure of sharing Megan + Jay's Downtown Charleston engagement session. It was gorgeous, so it won't be any surprise when you lay your eyes on their stunning Rice Mill wedding. With a gorgeous pastel palette and a meaningful Lowcountry backdrop on the Ashley River, their day couldn't have been more perfect. Jay and Megan love to spend their spare time on the water, and Jay proposed to Megan while on a boating day trip last year, so it was only natural to incorporate the water and boats into their wedding day. Ooh! Events designed elegant floral arrangements with a nautical navy accent, while A Charleston Event pulled the whole day together. Fun lounge furniture created a laid back feel to the venue and the Coconut Groove Band kept the dance floor packed all night with a fun selection of island music + oldies. Jay + Megan drove away in a vintage teal 1962 Cadillac Deville from Lowcountry Valet & Shuttle.

Coastal Rice Mill Wedding in Charleston by Shannon Noel Photography
I'm super excited to feature today's Rice Mill Wedding from our friend and wonderful Charleston wedding vendor, Shannon Noel Photography! I follow Bride Kristin on Twitter and Instagram, and in the months leading up to her big day, I had the pleasure of seeing sneak peeks of what was to come. So, to see her gorgeous Lowcountry wedding pop up in my inbox, I was over-the-moon to say the least. Not only did I get to see the adorable couple, Kristin + Matt, enjoy all that Charleston Harbor had to offer, but it was such a joy to see Kristin's inspiration come to life. The newlyweds enlisted the talents of some of Charleston's finest wedding vendors to deliver a coastal affair that we're sure will take the Pinterest world by storm!

DIY Centerpieces
We've got a big week on the horizon at A Lowcountry Wedding! For starters, we'll be teaming up with a crew of crazy, talented Charleston wedding vendors for a nautical-inspired shoot at the South Carolina Aquarium that is going to knock. your. socks. off. On Thursday, you'll find us at The NotWedding with some of South Carolina's finest wedding vendors as we treat Lowcountry brides to an evening full of inspiration at the beautiful Rice Mill Building, but in the meantime, Blake is showering you with some easy, yet impactful, do-it-yourself centerpieces.
.
I just love the idea of using vintage bottles as flower centerpieces. You can use different sizes, shapes, and colors. There are so many things you can do with them and they just look so cute!
If you want to add a pop of color you can do it yourself! All you have to do is pour paint on the inside of the vase and swirl around to coat. So easy!
