Preppy William Aiken House Wedding by shannon michele photography

Shannon Michele Photography can do no wrong in my eyes, especially when she’s paired up with a dream team of Charleston wedding vendors like Sara York Grimshaw, Technical Event Company and the design masterminds over at WED.  It’s like a match made in my personal Lowcountry heaven.  Beth + Greg’s William Aiken House wedding was the preppy Southern bash that all Lowcountry brides dream of.  Effortless, tasteful, timeless…complete perfection!  I mean, come on, bridesmaids dressed in seersucker,  an adorable ring bearer, swoon-worthy florals and one seriously gorgeous bride.  You can’t beat it.

Elisabeth + Joseph {Charleston Wedding}

With Christmas less than a week away, it can only mean one thing...Engagement Season is in full force!  We're looking forward to hearing about the countless holiday proposals taking place over the next few weeks and we can't wait to hear from all the newly engaged ladies as they dive into some serious wedding planning.  To kick off this festive week, we're excited to share with you Elisabeth + Joseph's beautiful Fall wedding.  The couple, who has recently relocated to the area, decided on an intimate October fete on the grounds of Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.  As one of Charleston's favorite venues, The Carriage House offered photographer Christina Watkins stunning views of the Ashley River, ancient Live Oaks and a wealth of Spanish moss. Basically, it's Lowcountry Heaven.

With a dress from the Gown Boutique of Charleston, hair by Whispers at Wentworth, Elisabeth's entire look was flawlessly styled by Alexandra Styles.  Down to the very last detail, the talented team at WED effortlessly executed this classic Charleston affair.  The flowers from Sara York Grimshaw Designs were rustically chic and truly complimented the couple and venue.  Cru Catering treated the couple's guests to delicious Lowcountry cuisine (crabcakes & all!) and The Cake Stand was responsible for that AMAZING cake!
