Lowcountry Weddings

Boone Hall Plantation {Colleen}

Today's bride, Colleen had the brilliant idea to select the grounds of Boone Hall Plantation as the backdrop for her bridal portraits...and boy, did it pay off!   Located just over the bridge in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, this stunning Lowcountry venue is a must-see when location scouting.  Once home to the 2004 movie, The Notebook, Boone Hall offers a picturesque setting for bridals, engagement sessions, rehearsal dinners and weddings.

Photographed by talented Charleston photographer, Carmen Ash, Colleen spent the day touring the  property and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery.  How beautiful is this Southern bride and her perfectly Lowcountry portraits?

Fripp Island Wedding {Kelly + Tom}

Kelly + Tom's journey started alllll the way back in the first grade.  The future lovebirds first crossed paths in Mrs. Stuart's class but shortly after their 7th grade year, Tom moved away.  It  wasn't until years later on a random evening in Philadelphia that a relationship started to form...and we're so glad it did!  Lucky for us, Kelly + Tom chose Fripp Island as the backdrop to their beautiful Lowcountry Wedding.  The darling couple enlisted the talents of Charleston wedding photographer, Philip Casey, of Studio 1250, and boy did  he deliver!  Throughout the day, Kelly + Tom were just oozing with happiness and love.  Their emotions for each other definitely spilled over to their guests and allowed Philip to catch some truly frame-able images.  The couple wed on the beach in a simple. laid back ceremony in front of all their family and friends.   I'm really loving the one of Kelly and her dad walking down the aisle.  Afterwards, they had a fabulous time enjoying their guests, the dancing and the Lowcountry...and can we talk about them jumping in the pool!

Inspiration Board: Yellow + Gray

Hey everyone! My name is Brit and I'm a blogger and wedding stylist.  I was thrilled when Erin invited me to guest post while she's off on vacation. I have been itching to share this latest color board with readers. Yellow and gray are two colors I never tire of. There is just something modern, yet classic and antique about them together that I really love. With this palette I added a splash of olive green, for added freshness, and a touch of white gives it a great backdrop. This is one of those versatile palettes that can carry from Spring to Summer to early Fall.

Honey Horn Plantation Wedding {Jennifer + Rob}

So, I've been waiting for quite awhile to share Jennifer + Rob's Honey Horn Plantation Wedding.  From the moment I first saw these images I couldn't stop gushing over this color palette...and can you blame me?  Those bouquets are ridiculous!  The fabulous Jenny Evelyn was on hand to capture the gorgeous bride and her dapper groom tie the knot at this perfect Lowcountry Wedding.  I'm so in love with this wedding that I just had to know more, so I asked Jennifer to fill us in on some additional details about their big day...
So give us a little background on you and Rob...
I first met Rob at a church I visited with a few of my friends. We all went out for lunch after the service and he sat beside me. We had casual conversation at that point, but I had no idea he was even interested in me. I remember he was in a hurry to leave when we finished lunch because he was looking forward to watching a Clemson basketball game! We didn’t keep in touch until we became friends on Facebook. We began chatting and exchanged numbers after some time. He claims he asked me out to dinner while we were chatting on Facebook, but I didn’t think it was very obvious and I turned him down! Thankfully, he pursued me and eventually called me to ask me out for our first date.

Tell us about the proposal...
Rob planned the best proposal ever on December 19, 2009! He sent a package to my apartment filled with a beautiful dress and fancy shoes. The package also contained a letter telling me that I was in for an evening I wouldn’t forget! He explained that I was not to contact him and that someone would be there at 3:45 sharp to pick me up. Well, as I am reading this letter, I panicked because I hadn’t showered and it was already 2:45. Rob’s best friend picked me up promptly at 3:45 and handed me another letter that gave me clues to our first destination.  We stopped at three places and, at each place; a note was waiting for me. Each one was romantically written, rhymed, and reminiscent of our relationship and the experiences we’ve had together. At the final location, Rob was waiting for me on the beach. He read the final letter and it was then and there that he asked me to be his wife. Obviously, I said yes! The surprises didn’t stop there – we picked up my dad from the airport then met the rest of our family and friends for dinner to celebrate!

Why did you choose to have A Lowcountry Wedding?
We chose to have a lowcountry wedding because we live here – it’s where we met, where began our relationship and we share so many memories here.  Hilton Head Island also offers beautiful scenery for a wedding.
a lowcountry wedding blog showcasing daily charleston weddings, hilton head weddings, myrtle beach weddings, southern weddings, charleston wedding blogs, hilton head wedding blogs, myrtle beach wedding blogs
Out of the entire day, what was the most memorable moment?
The most memorable moment was the first time I saw Rob as I walked down the aisle with my dad. I couldn’t stop smiling! I also loved walking back down the aisle with Rob after we had been declared husband and wife!
Rob would say his favorite moment was the same and add that he loved the sound of the bagpipes playing as I walked toward him. The bagpiper was a surprise from me to him!

So, how did Honey Horn Plantation win you over?

We attended a wedding there together about a year before our wedding and it was extremely beautiful and very practical for a wedding. The large oak trees, the Spanish moss, the palm trees, and the dock by the water offered all the scenery you expect in the lowcountry. We also liked the ability to have the ceremony, social hour, and reception all in the same place but at different locations within walking distance on the plantation.

Tell us a little bit about your menu...

Our menu was all Lowcountry – pulled pork and chicken barbecue, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, green beans, salad, fruit and served sweet tea, lemonade, and water in small mason jars.

One of my favorite questions to ask brides is what was their favorite ________.  I especially like to know, out of all their gorgeous photographs, which takes the cake.  Obviously, you can tell Jennifer had plenty of gorgeous options thanks to Jenny Evelyn Photography but below was her ultimate favorite....don't you agree?

Looking back on your engagement and wedding, is there any advice you would give to brides in the planning process? 
My advice would be:
  1. If you have a budget, do your absolute best to stick to it. Work backwards starting with how many people you are going to have attend the wedding.
  2. Enjoy the wedding and the wedding planning process – do your best not to get caught up on every little detail, especially as the wedding day gets closer.
  3. Remember this is your day as a couple – you cannot please everybody!
  4. The most important advice is to keep your focus on the marriage and commitment you are about to make instead of just the planning of one day.

Charleston Weddings {Lowcountry Inspiration Board}

Hi!  I'm Amanda from baci designer stationery + events, a custom stationery and event planning boutique located in Northeast Ohio.  A huge thank you to Erin for having me today :o)  My husband and I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for three years and while we were there our love for the south grew greater with each year that passed.  We loved it so much that in 2006 we were engaged while visiting Isle of Palms near Charleston (hands down our favorite place on earth!!)!  While we were sad to leave, our need to be closer to our families prevailed and we moved back to the Midwest a few years ago.  Everyday we miss all the things we adored so much about the south - the perfect weather, the soft southern accents that accompanied some of the most wonderful people and of course, the food!!  So I thought there wasn't a more perfect audience to create a Lowcountry Inspiration Board for than you all!  I envision the warm, vintage palette at an outdoor wedding on the land of a local plantation followed by a fabulous black tie reception in the main house complete with a fresh-caught seafood dinner, finishing off the night with a fully stocked cigar bar.  Southern charm at its best!

From A Southern Bride's Perspective...

Hi there - Lauren fromSouthern Aisle here!  When Erin asked me to take a look back at my wedding just a few short months ago, I was delighted to reflect on a few things I learned throughout the process.  One BIG thing planning my own wedding taught me was how to be a better wedding guest myself.  So, here’s a little run down of a few things that drove me completely bonkers as a bride and I have profusely vowed to never ever do again myself. Scouts honor!

a lowcountry wedding blog showcasing daily charleston weddings, hilton head weddings, myrtle beach weddings, southern weddings, charleston wedding blogs, hilton head wedding blogs, myrtle beach wedding blogs

RSVP I get it. We’ve all had that moment when you’re sorting through your pile of bills and magazines and out slips an RSVP card you haven’t sent back…to a wedding you’re attending this weekend.  Ruh       roh!  Life gets hectic and sending back that little response card isn’t always on the top of everyone’s to-do list, but I cannot express to you enough how dire this is.  I promise it’s not just for the benefit of knowing who to expect on your big day.  The bride needs to be able to report her final head count to many other vendors and it could ultimately affect her budget.  I once heard of a wedding where 60 extra people who did not RSVP showed up last minute; nowhere for them to sit and no food for them to eat.  Talk about every bride’s worst nightmare!  Luckily this did not happen to us, but I did have to do my fair share of pestering a handful of unaccounted for guests. If you misplace your card, a phone call, email or airplane banner will also get the message across. ;)

Presents – This may sound picky but if at all possible, try to avoid bringing your present to the wedding.  By bringing it the day of the event, you run the risk of your gift getting lost in the mix.  It’s one more thing for the bride and groom or their parents to transport after the wedding.  And, if the bride and groom do not reside in the city where they are getting married, it further complicates the process of getting the items to their final destination.  If you absolutely have to bring it, make sure the card or gift tag is securely attached so the couple will know whom to thank.  We had a few gifts that by the time they reached our hands had been separated from their card.  I had to play detective for days until we got it all sorted out. When in doubt, ship it!

a lowcountry wedding blog showcasing daily charleston weddings, hilton head weddings, myrtle beach weddings, southern weddings, charleston wedding blogs, hilton head wedding blogs, myrtle beach wedding blogs

Face Time Everyone wants a little face time with the bride and groom.  After all, that’s the reason you are there; to show your love and support for the couple and give them your well wishes.  However, assess the situation before flocking.  For instance, when the bride and groom have just sat down to eat – probably not the best time to go interrupt.  Let them have a few moments of peace with each other and their (probably much needed) plate of food.  You can catch them on the dance floor later.  We personally tried to visit with and thank each guest for coming but inevitably missed some of our guests. And, if you aren’t able to get a little face time, do not be discouraged, I promise it’s not personal.  It’s just the way the wedding cookie crumbles – so many guests, so little time!
A big, big thank you to Erin for letting me pop over to A Lowcountry Wedding and share with all of you!  So, go forth and be a better wedding guest!
xoxo,
Lauren

Pepper Plantation Wedding {Peter + Nicole}

It's Thursday and I'm going on vacation tomorrow (sorry to rub it in!.  Hopefully, I'll be productive today...but I'm not making any promises.  I'm so excited I kinda can't stand it but I'm even more pumped to share today's real wedding with you all.  Yesterday we featured Peter + Nicole's rustic Cotton Dock Rehearsal Dinner and today we're following it up with their winter wedding that I'm pretty sure you're going to fall in love with.  Once again, Peter + Nicole enlisted the talents of The Daniels and Eventa Bella and, no surprise, they did not disappoint.  The couple hosted their guests for an evening of live music by Charleston favorite, Plane Jane, at the picturesque Pepper Plantation,.  It was the perfect backdrop for Nicole's rustic pewter color palette, cozy lighting and of course, some cowboy boots!

Boone Hall - Cotton Dock Wedding {Peter + Nicole}

The Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation is easily one of my favorite venues in Charleston.  Nestled along the marsh of  the Wamponcheeone Creek, it provides the perfect Lowcountry setting along with an always needed cool, salty breeze.  This past Winter, The Daniels were on hand to capture Peter + Nicole's gorgeous rustic rehearsal dinner.  Sabrina with Eventa Bella did an AH-mazing job with the decor.  I love the cozy, elegant vibe she was able to accomplish...and who doesn't love those twinkle lights?  Most couples don't enlist the talents of their photographers for their rehearsal dinner but I'm so glad Peter + Nicole did.  Not only did The Daniels take some killer detail shots but is that last image not perfection?  Love...

Wedding Keepsakes

My husband and I got married a little over a year ago and we were so touched that so many of our friends and family made the trip to Charleston for the weekend.  Since I grew up outside of Atlanta and my husband hails from Florida, even though we didn't consider our Lowcountry shindig a destination wedding many of our guests did.  Those travel expenses can add up pretty quickly!  So, needless to say, it meant a lot to us that, in addition to just attending the wedding, they also showered us with gifts.
While most guests stuck to our registries (which my kitchen very much appreciates!), some veered off and did their own thing...and not always in a good way.  Let's just say I still haven't acquired a liking for a few of the items.  I actually considered taking a picture of some of the "interesting" and cheesy gifts we received but figured that's pretty rude.  Like I said, I am more than thankful for any and ever gift we received, it just made me think that if guests choose to stray from the registry, it should be for something the bride and groom will treasure and not just toss to the side.
I guess you could say I'm a pretty sentimental person and I love any gift that has significant meaning, so I thought I'd round up some of my favorite wedding day gifts that are absent from your everyday registries.  I can promise you all of these keepsakes will be cherished for years to come.
"Remember the Day" Pillows
I may have a slight obsession with burlap which is why it's probably no surprise that Etsy dealer, Next Door to Heaven's, "Remember the Day" Pillows are one of my favorites.  These are the perfect day-to-day reminder of a couple's nuptials.

Venue Prints
Point DeVue is a Chicago based company that is a master of architectural artwork.   These unique sketches will add that personal touch to your gift.  What could be better than a constant reminder of the venue that was home to their magical evening.

Custom Heirloom Bowls
Located in Austin, Texas, Paloma's Nest specializes in all things heirloom.  They offer a large selection of handmade beauties that are intended to last for generations (just the way we like 'em!).  One of our favorites is the Large Custom Heirloom Bowls and it will look perfect displayed  in the bride and groom's home.

Sweetgrass Baskets
Ahhh, sweetgrass baskets.  The art of sweetgrass weaving is a Charleston staple that takes local palmetto strips and hand stitches them into intricate designs.  These sturdy keepsakes incorporate themselves nicely into any Lowcountry woman's serving ware collection.

Wedding Signs
I just love these.  Chocolate Butterbean makes the most beautiful wedding signs...don't you think?  They  are completely customizable and come in a range of sizes, mediums and the message is up to you.  The newlyweds will welcome this heartfelt addition to their humble abode!

Wedding Art Prints
I ran across Jenna Sue Designs on Sparkle & Hay last week and I've been smitten with it ever since.  This print is perfect for the sentimental bride and groom and can easily be reworked to include the couples own vows or the words their first dance.

Southern Weddings {Shannon}

 Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!  Even though, I'm pretty excited about the idea of cooler weather (and football season), I can't believe the  summer is wrapping up.  One thing I love just love about Southern Weddings, and the South in general, is the vintage feel.  You know that a Southern bride is going to look classically beautiful.  She's not going to overdue it with too many accessories or crazy hair and make up.  It's more about her personal style then the current trends and fads.  She has a timeless appeal in every aspect of her wedding day, from her flower selection to the choice of music and the end result is always a stunning affair.   That's what I love about Shannon's Orchard House Bridal Shoot from our friends at Connections Photography.  I'm pretty sure I was gasping as scrolled through every image.
Her hair - perfect.  Earrings - love 'em.  Setting - Nailed it.  Go ahead...get your swoon on!
The last image is my favorite :)

Southern Weddings {Shannon + Quincy}

Being a Georgia grad, I'm kind of a sucker for anything that has to do with the city of Athens. (Speaking of, did you hear the Georgia Theatre finally reopened?!)  Athens is just a charming Southern town.  It's got great people, an awesome music (and bar!) scene and obviously a fabulous football team :)  So, naturally when the talented Nick Branch sent over Shannon + Quincy's April wedding I couldn't wait to get it up on the blog.  Shannon was a knock-out in her David's Bridal gown while the men rocked tuxes from Men's Wearhouse.  She walked down the aisle of the Seney-Stovall Chapel (an Athens staple) carrying a beautiful bouquet of red rose.  After the ceremony, the crowd headed down the street to the Hardeman-Sams House where they enjoyed the rest of the evening.

Southern Weddings {Anna + Patrick}

Whenever I talk to someone who is recently engaged and in the planning stage, (whether I know them or not), my first question is always, "Have you picked out your colors?!"   I love to see the color palette brides choose because it always says so much about their personality.  Today's Florida bride, Anna, picked a perfectly beach-y combo of orange and blue for her October nuptials which matches her and hubby Patrick's vivacious, laid back and classic style.  Anna is just radiant in her white Maggie Sottero gown which she paired with a few blue accessories (lovin' that necklace) that fit the mood of the day just right...don't you think?  The ladies of Stay Forever Photography, Jessica and Melissa, were on hand to capture all the loveliness (and boy did they do their job!).  With a beautiful backdrop of palm trees and a touch of the Florida sun, Anna + Patrick were wed at Fort Pierce Yacht Club.  They continued the evening with some serious dancing, delicious food and gorg flowers by Giordano's.

Southern Weddings {Jada + Dan}

Hope everyone is having a Happy Wednesday and staying cool from this serious summer heat!  I'm so excited to share Jada + Dan's sweet North Carolina engagement session by Charlotte Photographer, Vanessa Schrotenboer.  They spent the day at Latta Plantation as Vanessa captured some very frame-able images of couple in their element.  The lighting is perfect, the setting is beautiful and can you get a cuter couple? I don't think so!

Southern Weddings {Wedding Bouquets}

You can call Pinterest an addiction but I like to refer to it as research :)  I always thought it would be so fun to be a florist.  Would you not love to be surrounded by gorgeous blooms all day long?  I remember when I was planning my wedding and you could not pry me from the computer. I was constantly searching and searching for the perfect bouquet, boutonniere, centerpieces etc.  Sometimes, I would just find one type of flower or a particular shade of color that would be exactly what I was looking for.  So, my hopes in sharing Part II of Wedding Bouquets (Don't miss Part I!) is that they'll be that perfect bit of inspiration that has been the missing link to your wedding day inspiration board...
Enjoy!

Southern Wedding {Katy + Jason}

Ashley of Live. Laugh. PHOTOGRAPH sent over this perfectly charming Southern wedding, complete with cowboys boots and live country music...Texas style!  The couple, Katy + Jason, were wed June 11, 2011 just outside of Dallas at Loma Linda in beautiful Rockett, Texas.  Doesn't Katy just look flawless in her strapless gown, pearls and cowboy boots?  I love it.  The rustic venue allowed for a touching outdoor ceremony under the trees.  After, the guest made their way to the reception where the dined on Randy's BBQ's signature cuisine and later indulged in their choice of two fabulous desserts by Dallas Affaires Cake Co.  To top of the evening, the guests danced the night away to the tunes of Chad McBride and The Drifters
All in all, I'd have to say it was a perfect Texas Wedding...

Myrtle Beach Wedding {Jordyn + Joe}

When Carolina Studios photographer, Gillian Reinhardt sent over this Myrtle Beach wedding, I couldn't get over how much fun everyone seemed to have. It looked like such a good time!  This past May, Jordyn, a stunning blonde, donned two separate gowns as she wed her handsome husband, Joe, in this perfect Lowcountry affair. 
The couple said 'I do' at First Presbyterian Church and then moved the party (and boy do I mean par-tay!) to aPalmetto Properties' private residence where the guests were treated to a gorgeous tented reception under the Carolina sky.  By leaving the details to their trusted team of vendors, the sweet couple was able to enjoy every moment celebrating with their friends and family. Wedding planner, Sara Barnhill of Stunning & Brilliant Events, executed a beautifully detailed Kelly green wedding complete with lavish  flowers by Callas Florist and a darling cake by Cake Creations by Melanie.   The band, N'Tranze kept everybody up and out of their seats which, not only made for some truly entertaining pictures, but one heck of an evening.  Luckily, Carolina Studios was on hand to capture it all...

Southern Wedding Engagement {Brittany + Skylar}

I always enjoy when couples include their pups in the engagement photos.  My two boys are like my kids and I really regret not having them join us...even though I'm pretty sure they would not have been half as well behaved as these two sweethearts.  But luckily for all of us, Brittany + Skylar just had to include theirs.  Our new friend, Southern wedding photographer Meg Baisden, spent a gorgeous New Orleans afternoon with the couple as they made their way through City Park.  They were blessed with beautiful weather, perfect light and a nice helping of Spanish moss (which any good Southerner can appreciate).  Hope everyone has a fabulous Charleston weekend!
