From Rick Dean Photography: "Melissa loves making wishes by throwing money into fountains. One day, when she threw her money into the fountain at Brookgreen Gardens on Pawley's Island, Danny asked what she had wished for. When she turned around to respond, she found Danny on one knee, ready to propose.
After a beautiful ceremony at Saint Michaels Catholic Church in Murrells Inlet, Melissa and Danny returned to the stunning grounds of Brookgreen Gardens where Danny proposed to celebrate their wedding day. We had a blast walking around the grounds of Brookgreen Gardens and Litchfield Beach with Melissa, Danny, and their bridal party, and couldn't imagine a more fitting celebration for this super sweet couple."

Brookgreen Gardens Wedding by Paula Player Photography
The lovely Clark Gilmer, a gorgeous Lowcountry gal who you may remember from America's Next Top Model (among many other things!), recently tied the knot in Murrells Inlet at the stunning Brookgreen Gardens and I've been completely obsessed with the venue ever since. Located just outside of Myrtle Beach, the Gardens offer a gorgeous setting for bridal portraits, rehearsal dinners or a lavish Lowcountry affair. So, when the talented team at Paula Player Photography sent over Emily & Jason's Brookgreen Gardens Wedding, I literally couldn't wait to share with you all. Not only is the photography to die for, but the design crew at Stunning & Brilliant Events teamed up with Blossoms Events for an elegant evening in romantic shades of pink that just makes me want to pin every single image!

Rustic Myrtle Beach Wedding at Tilghman-Boyce Cottage
Happy Monday to all my Lowcountry ladies! We're kicking off the week with Julie + David's rustic Myrtle Beach wedding at the Tilghman-Boyce Cottage in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. You probably remember Julie's lovely Lowcountry bridal session we shared a few months ago. We fell completely in love with Julie's effortless style, gorgeous gown from David's Bridal and her enviable selection of footwear. Needless to say her beauty and creativity took center stage for her Spring wedding this past May...and it did not disappoint. Julie went all out when designing her wedding day and added in countless personal touches. In signature Lowcountry style, the couple married in a sweet, outdoor ceremony under a majestic oak. Instead of a traditional guest book, guests were asked to sign a square that the couple would later have made into a quilt. Each guest was also treated to their very own mason jar to use throughout the night. Not only did each jar come with a whimsical striped straw, but also an adorable bow tie! One of the couples first dates was at the ice cream shop in Calabash at the Calabash Creamery, so Julie incorporate a charming ice cream cart complete with all the fixin's as a surprise touch for her guests to enjoy. Thanks to one of our favorite Myrtle Beach wedding vendors, Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt for a capturing all the pin-able details!

Grande Dunes Ocean Club Wedding by Memorable Moments + Leslie Parrott
This lovely Sunday weather has me daydreaming of long Summer days and ocean views! Since I can't quite have the long Summer days, I'll settle for gorgeous ocean views, and that's just what Meredith + Rod's Ocean Club at Grande Dunes wedding delivers! The wonderful crew at Memorable Moments teamed up with a talented group of Myrtle Beach Wedding Vendors for the perfect Lowcountry affair. Apparently, the weather acted up a bit, but you would never be able to tell from these beautiful images Leslie Parrott Photography captured. We're obsessing over the perfect coastal color palette of pale pink and navy with touches of burlap!
From Leslie: "Meredith and Rod are a fun couple that are excited to show off their wedding. The details were elegant yet the vibe was laid back allowing for guests to really enjoy themselves. They added personal touches such as in lieu of guest gifts a donation was made to the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund (Meredith and her family are from New Jersey). And Rod is from Atlanta so he wanted the southern, relaxed touch of farm tables at the reception. The day unexpectedly ended up being cold and windy so there was a last minute decision to tent the reception. The couple was not able to walk the beach for photos as they had originally planned either. But the day turned out perfect regardless and the photos still have the Myrtle Beach touch to them."

Myrtle Beach Weddings {Leigh Anne + Douglas} Litchfield Plantation
We are beyond thrilled that the premier issue of A Lowcountry Wedding Mag is going live on Apple Newsstands this week and because we like to celebrate, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of one of the beautiful Myrtle Beach weddings that graced our pages. Leigh Anne + Douglas tied the knot at the lovely Litchfield Plantation in Pawleys Island, SC and we adore every last detail of their dreamy Lowcountry wedding day. Corina Silva was the mastermind behind the entire evening, starting with the decor + florals and finishing it off by capturing all the details! Dying to see more?! Check out all the details in our complete digital edition of A Lowcountry Wedding Mag which you can check out here!
Unlike those of us who grow up daydreaming about our wedding day, the bug never quite bit Bride Leigh Anne; that is, until she visited the magical Litchfield Plantation. After a few minutes of reveling in the beauty, she quickly turned to her father and said, “Daddy, I want to get married in the Spanish moss.” And we’re so thankful she did, because this Southern, plantation-style home in Pawleys Island has a knack for sweeping brides-to-be off their feet.
On the day of their wedding, rain threatened to put a damper on their outdoor festivities, but as luck would have it, the clouds opened up just in time for Leigh Anne + Douglas to say ‘I do’ under the Oak trees. Afterward, they joined their guests for a Lowcountry evening complete with chic chandeliers, mason jars and rustic lanterns.

Myrtle Beach Weddings {Juliemar} Tilghman-Boyce Cottage
Who's in the mood for a little Lowcountry wedding loveliness!?! When it comes to all things Myrtle Beach weddings, the wonderful Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt always captures the best of the best...and it's not different with bride Juliemar. This natural beauty stunned as she spent a beautiful Southern afternoon on the grounds of Tilghman-Boyce Cottage. Outfitted in a gorgeous gown, M. Gladden Designs bouquet and adorable teal Converse, we're mesmerized by her effortless ease in front of the camera and the ah-mazing natural light. Thanks to Gillian for always blessing us Myrtle Beach weddings and their pin-worthy inspiration.

Myrtle Beach Wedding {Jennifer + Carl} Grande Dunes Ocean Club
I wanted to get back to sharing all of these beautiful weddings that graced the pages of our first online mag and this Grande Dunes Ocean Club bash is one heck of a stunner! Jennifer + Carl hail from the great state of Michigan and decided the Lowcountry was the best place to host their destination wedding...and we're sure glad we did. M. Gladden Designs took Jennifer's black and white color palette with pops of yellow and orange and translated it into some jaw dropping arrangements. Thanks to Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt for showering us with this beautiful Myrtle Beach wedding! Even though we wanted to (and we sure did try!), we couldn’t include everything in the magazine, so to find out a little more about Jennifer’s big day, check out her answers below and to see all the details you can purchase a digital edition of the Mag here!
What made you choose your venue? What elements drew you to it? My family has been traveling to Myrtle Beach for the past 15+yrs for annual family vacations. A few years back, my parents purchased a second home in the area and decided to make Myrtle Beach their “winter home”; we are from MI. Over the years, Myrtle Beach became our family’s second home. My brother now lives there full-time; my parents live there about 6-7 months out of the year and Carl (my husband) and I both travel frequently throughout the year to visit.
We elected to host our destination wedding in Myrtle Beach, at the Ocean Club, over Memorial Weekend, for our friends and family (all from MI) because Myrtle Beach is considered a “home” to us and we wanted our friends and family to know and understand why we spend as much time as do in the area. We chose the Ocean Club because my family and I are members and it was also a perfect place for us to start our lives together – a venue that we (Carl and I) frequently visit.
Out of the entire day, what was the most memorable moment? LOL – my hair appointment, of all things! Horrible experience, but best attitude anyone could ask for! Keep in mind, this was a destination wedding – but the salon that I had booked my MOH and my hair appointments at months in advanced lost our appointments and refused to take us; another salon was willing to take us (probably feeling horrified for us!) last minute after my cousin explained the situation. Despite the moment .. it’s something that I will never forget. My cousin (MOH) couldn’t believe how calm and reserved I was about it. I had a “it’s ok to whatever happens today” attitude! And nothing was going to ruin it.
How many guests attended - 37 total (all from MI)
Color Palette – black, white, yellow, orange, cream colors
Tell us all about the details! Did any have special meaning? What was your favorite?
Tell us a little bit about your menu… We chose a cocktail and hors d'oeuvre wedding reception offered by the Ocean Club. It was the perfect choice for our small and intimate setting. We had approx.. 37 guests total (including ourselves) and wanted to mix & mingle with our guests who took the time to fly down and spend their holiday weekend with us. We absolutely did not want to separate anyone or exclude guests.
What’s your favorite picture from your wedding? My absolute favorite picture was the very last photo that Carolina Studios’ captured of Carl and me as they were headed out for the evening. It was an amazing shot that captured a very special moment for us.

Heritage Plantation Wedding {Robyn + Andy}
It totally slipped my mind that yesterday was Veterans’ Day (which might explain why I showed up at the County Treasurer’s Office to pay my car taxes and no one was there. Whoopsies!). Had I remembered, I absolutely would have shared Robyn + Andy’s quaint Heritage Plantation wedding from Dana Cubbage Wedding Photography but instead, we’ll just share it today! Since the lovely Dana Cubbage was there to capture all the details, it’s only fitting we let her tell their love story… ”Andy is in the Air Force and based in Louisiana, while Robyn lives and works in Missouri. These two have spent so much time apart, but their love for each other - and Robyn's 10 year old son, Drake - is evident. One of my absolute favorite moments of their day was immediately after the ceremony, Drake came up and hugged both Robyn + Andy. It was an extremely special moment.
Robyn planned the entire wedding herself. She even did her own hair and created her own bouquet! Talk about talented! She chose Heritage Golf Club after seeing photos of it online. She absolutely fell in love with the location, the large oaks, the marina, and the Spanish Moss. Oh, the Spanish Moss! Although it rained in the morning, the skies cleared in time for their outdoor ceremony beneath an oak tree. We couldn't have asked for better weather, and the sunset at the marina was stunning. Robyn, Andy + their guests released wish lanterns from the dock at the end of the evening. Although the wind made it tricky, they were able to successfully launch a few. It was a beautiful sight and onlookers cheered as they took flight.”

A Lowcountry Wedding Magazine Premiere Issue: Sneak Peek!
