Elegant + Classic Lowcountry Wedding

Lowcountry weddings don’t get more sophisticated than Suzanne and Stephen’s! The Southern setting of Lowndes Grove Plantation is perfect for an outdoor ceremony and elegant tent reception, with pink and cream florals by Stems and styling by A Charleston Bride. Suzanne’s lace Allure Couture gown, with a satin-and-rhinestone sash and V-cut back, is chic with a slight vintage feel. A pretty but neutral color scheme, like blush Wtoo bridesmaids dresses and gold and cream ceremony details, are beautiful in these images from Richard Ellis Photographer. The placement of a lovely confection from Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal is just right at the front of the tent swathed in blush and cream linens and adorned with luxe gold chandeliers. This affair is breathtaking—view all of the classic Southern charm in the gallery!

The first word that comes to mind when scrolling through the images from Kelly Sauer, Photographer of Rebecca and Joseph’s Charleston wedding is “lush.” Everything, from pink and white florals by Gayla Harvey of Tiger Lily to gold glitter and sequin details and filmy bows on ceremony chairs, is so sophisticated and perfectly done. Rebecca and Joseph held the entire affair, indoors and out, at the beautiful historic William Aiken House. To complement the pink and gold touches, bridesmaids wore elegant blush-colored gowns from Nordstrom. We can’t even talk about Rebecca’s Allure Bridals gown without our jaws dropping open; it’s that fabulous! We love that she paired such a dramatic gown with simple glitter ballet flats from J.Crew! We’re just enamored with every single part of this soiree that Lindsey Shanks of A Charleston Bride helped plan and style. Rebecca wanted to incorporate the color scheme into every element, including the cake from Fish, which is accented with gold leaf and fresh blooms. This is simply a delicious day filled with romance and sophistication!

Brecklyn and Cameron’s wedding in Austin, Texas, is the epitome of elegance. With a classic color palette of white, black and gold, the couple and planner Caplan Miller Events orchestrated a beautiful ballroom fete inside the Four Seasons hotel, preceded by a simple and traditional ceremony at Central Christian Church. Breckyln’s lace gown is stunning, with a crystal and silk detail that cinches her waist. We love the white bouquets bridesmaids carried, as well as the towering candelabra arrangements inside the reception! We’re so glad Jennifer Lindberg Weddings shared this stunning wedding with us!

Cody and Abby’s vision of a classic Lowcountry wedding came to life when they said their vows beneath the majestic oaks of Charleston’s beautiful Boone Hall Plantation. Their outdoor ceremony gave way to a celebration inside the Cotton Dock, where Beautiful Brides Events and The Purple Magnolia created an elegant atmosphere with glimmering chandeliers and swaths of greenery. Their perfect blend of rustic elegance was beautifully captured by Ava Moore Photography!

Jules and Nick both hail from the South, and both have ties to Charleston, so a destination wedding in the Lowcountry was an easy choice! They selected Lowndes Grove Plantation, as Jules had always dreamed of getting married outside under the trees. The location, lined with oak trees right on the Ashley River, could not have been more perfect. Their vision of a romantic, Gatsby-inspired soiree was brought to life working with Mac and B. Events. They selected a color palette of champagne, ivory, and gold. Tables were adorned with ample florals by Branch Design Studio, in soft metallic vases, adding a bit of shimmer to the clean white tents. Glimmering chandeliers wrapped in greenery completed the scene and the result is exquisite! This sunset stunner from Sean Money + Elizabeth Fay is one for the ages!

Noelle’s vision was for a whimsical fairy tale garden wedding, and Charleston’s stately Gadsden House was the perfect setting. Working with Kathleen of King Street Hospitality Group, Noelle and Corey selected a color palette of dusty blue, crisp white, and accents of greenery, and the palette extended right through Noelle’s gown, a fantastic Hayley Paige Occasions ballgown with a dusty blue skirt and jeweled belt. The reception extended throughout the home onto the portico and each table featured natural wood chargers, gold flatware, and posies of greenery designed by Branch Design Studio. We’re smitten with every beautiful moment captured by Ava Moore Photography!

Lowndes Grove Plantation set the stage for Anna and Woody’s gorgeous Charleston wedding. The couple worked with the always-fabulous A Charleston Bride to bring their vision of an elegant, light, and airy event to life, and as Anna says, “Everything was absolutely perfect!” The plantation’s stately oak trees served as the ceremony backdrop, with a wooden cross passed down from Anna’s brother’s wedding as the centerpiece. After a cocktail hour on the lawn, guests made their way to the stunning reception designed by A Charleston Bride and Stephanie Gibbs Events. A dramatic chandelier, blush and gold lounge area, and chic cake table greeted everyone at the entry to the tent, and the scene was only made more spectacular by the amazing South Carolina sunset. Every small detail is perfectly attended to, and their timeless and elegant wedding is one for the books! Get ready to swoon over the gorgeous images from Jennings King Photography!

Charleston’s Old Wide Awake Plantation is a beautiful and serene setting, exactly the environment that Jennifer and Bradley envisioned when planning their Lowcountry soiree. Jennifer’s father and brother built the arbor for their ceremony, which was set amongst the plantation’s oak trees with dripping Spanish moss. The couple let the location take center stage and selected a neutral color palette of khaki, white, and gold. The outdoor reception in the warm summer air featured string lights and flowers that Jennifer arranged herself with blooms from Fifty Flowers. We love the sweet Southern touches, including hand-stamped muslin bags of grits as favors and a sweet potato wedding cake from Kathy and Company. Every image from Amy Arrington Photography is undeniably lovely!

South Carolina’s Pawleys Island is one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast, and we are in love with the romantic Lowcountry atmosphere of The DeBordieu Club, home to Taylor and Pete’s gorgeous and classic wedding. After a ceremony outside along the marsh under the perfect Carolina skies, the reception moved inside, where stunning decor from Blossoms Events awaited. Opulent arrangements of Georgia roses and hydrangeas in the couple’s pink and white color palette set atop tables dressed in crisp white Covers by Nicole linens from Snyder Rentals. Taylor’s bouquet is especially lovely, with fluffy pink peonies and a layer of white feathers, to remind her of her late mother. An “In Memory” chair also graced the ceremony in remembrance. Visit the gallery to enjoy each and every image from Pasha Belman Photography!

Ahh, what a breath of fresh air Tiffany and Jason’s whimsical wedding affair is! We’re taken aback by these stunning images from Ashley Seawell Photography—vintage touches, candlelight, rustic elegance, and lush white blooms from Emily Wynn Wildes Floral Design create a sophisticated simplicity that we’re loving. For the outdoor ceremony at Cypress Bay Plantation in Varnville, South Carolina, Tiffany wore her sister’s gown and held the hands of her children instead of carrying a traditional bouquet. The cross at the altar, draped in a greenery garland, is a family heirloom built by Emily’s stepfather. Post-ceremony, Tiffany and Jason’s fathers opened the barn doors behind them to reveal an amazing reception setup by Ashley Rhodes Event Design. Cozy tables set with burlap, lace, and mercury glass accents held beautiful white flowers that glowed in the candlelight. We love the burlap and lace runner across the table that holds a two-tier dessert from Tara Hayes Cakes. Everything about this day is perfection!

Isn’t Elizabeth and Scot’s wedding at Cairnwood in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, just lovely?! We adore the stunning outdoor landscape, especially with the lush and elegant flowers created by Papertini Floral & Event Design. A simple floral motif was repeated on the classic stationery from Lucky Luxe as well. The romantic blooms are especially gorgeous paired with soft pink Amsale bridesmaids dresses and Elizabeth’s amazing lace Jim Hjelm gown. The perfect accessory to her ensemble–a vintage scalloped lace mantilla veil–is from Bel Aire Bridal. At the reception, with help from Stephen Starr Events, the romance continued thanks to lace linens, pink and cream touches in decor and flowers, and a tall round confection from Whipped Bakeshop on a gold cake stand that we love! We’re simply swooning over these images from Sweetwater Portraits!

It is impossible for a wedding at Charleston, South Carolina’s Lowndes Grove Plantation to not be gorgeous Lowcountry perfection. Laura and Thomas chose the gorgeous setting for their entire affair, starting with a ceremony beneath moss-draped trees and ending with an outdoor reception that highlighted the jaw-dropping sunset. We are stunned by these images from Richard Ellis Photographer! Laura’s amazing Jordan gown is a fitted silhouette that gives way to a full ruffled skirt, and we adore the look! One-shoulder silvery blue Siri bridesmaids dresses are shimmery like the sea and paired with simple baby’s breath bouquets by Branch Design Studio. Laura’s bouquet of white orchids is spiked with bright yellow blooms that also grace the elegant reception tables, details that Southern Protocol helped her plan. We also love the textured icing detail on the couple’s cake from renowned Charleston restaurant and catering company Fish. There’s not a single detail Laura and Thomas overlooked—visit the gallery to see them all!

Nothing says fairytale like a castle, and that’s exactly what Daryl and Larry got when they chose Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York, for their wedding celebration! Elegant ombre details like taupe and brown shades on Amsale bridesmaids dresses gave way to gorgeous orange and green fall flowers from Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design, giving the entire affair a crisp, seasonal look. Daryl looked as stunning as a princess in a lacy Monique Lhuillier gown from Wedding Salon of Manhasset, and we’re particularly swooning over her gold glitter J.Crew sandals! We love the way Betsi Ewing Studio and second photography team Alexis June Weddings captured the dreamy details! Touches of gold and more lush florals at the reception inside the castle are taking our breath away—we are absolutely in love with all of the gorgeous details in the gallery!

How lovely is Allison and David’s Lowcountry wedding, held outdoors at Lowndes Grove Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina? Classic style rules the day, with fresh white flowers like anemone, hydrangeas, and roses from Out of Hand, and timeless details implemented by the team of Hannah Grogan and Lisa Thomas of Ohh! Events. The backdrop of the water and sunset was a gorgeous scene for the ceremony, with bridesmaids wearing preppy dresses from J.Crew and Allison in a stunning Martina Liana gown. The ruffled skirt detailing is to die for! The amazing team at Fish created the buttercream cake, which resembled a hydrangea kissing ball atop a bed of roses and was the perfect complement to the crisp blue and white color palette of the tent reception decor. Don’t miss any of the beautiful images from Amelia + Dan!

The elegance and simplicity of Katie and Sean’s wedding at Primrose Cottage in Roswell, Georgia, is just breathtaking. Nothing is more lovely than lush bouquets in pale colors, and Magic Moments, Inc., outdid themselves with the flowers for this occasion. The sparkling blue bridesmaids dresses from David’s Bridal are a bold counterpoint to the pastels of the day. And we love the gorgeous sash paired with Katie’s gown from Bridals by Lori. A trio of cakes by Publix crowns the dessert table at the reception, one of many details we’re smitten with in the sweetly decorated room. The ethereal look of these images from Buffy Dekmar has us swooning!

There’s something so very sweet about Victoria and Chris’ Richmond, Virginia wedding. Is it the bride’s handmade shawl — a gift from her sister — or the bridesmaids’ polka dotted dresses that have stolen our hearts? Both! Victoria and Chris tied the knot inside the classic The Manor House, then celebrated with an edible work of art by A Cake To Remember. We owe a big thank you to Laura Gordon Photography for sharing this sweet and simple beauty with us today!

Lee and Raul honored the groom’s Spanish heritage in their Miami, Florida wedding, even incorporating a coin tradition into their ceremony at Church of the Little Flower. How sweet is that? Lee looked stunning in her Justin Alexander gown, which featured a dramatic button-up back and long train. We love the light silver bridesmaids dresses by Alfred Sung—a soft complement to Lee and Raul’s color palette of ivory, peach and yellow. Flowers By Carol created beautiful arrangements of hydrangea and roses that lined banquet tables at The Coral Gables Museum, where Lee and Raul held their outdoor reception. There isn’t a single detail we don’t love from their big day, and we’re so glad Starfish Studios shared it with us!

Annie and Ben’s wedding at Skokie Country Club, just outside of Chicago, is full of heartwarming details—least of which, the fact that this couple wed on the same green Annie’s parents did so many years before! How sweet is that? We love the elegant floral arch under which Annie and Ben exchanged their vows, a creation by Virginia Wolff Inc., who also designed Annie’s beautiful cascading bouquet of lilies and roses. Following their outdoor ceremony, guests dined al fresco, enjoying small bites stations and a dessert bar! Then guests joined Annie and Ben on the dance floor, where they danced the night away to the sounds of High Society, an orchestra! How perfect!

Could Chelsea and David’s pink and white wedding be any prettier? Take a minute to gush over these images from Jade + Matthew Take Pictures and we think you’ll agree the answer is no! Chelsea and David tied the knot at The Olde Pink House in Savannah, Georgia, an elegant restaurant inside an 18th century mansion. Chelsea looked stunning in her lace Jenny Packham gown, which she accessorized with Badgley Mischka peep-toe pumps. But we think the soft pink invitation suite by La Paperie really set the tone for the day—elegant and understated, the stationery matched the decor, including the white centerpieces in mercury glass, which the bride and her family put together themselves! Swoon over the entire gorgeous day in the gallery!

Marie and Tim’s wedding at The Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida, combines the beauty of the beach with the understated elegance only a venue like the The Ritz-Carlton can provide! Dressed in a sweetheart gown with crystal brooch detail, Marie married Tim with views of the ocean as their ceremony backdrop — that, and a gorgeous floral arbor popping with pink and white blooms! We adore the cowl-neck mauve dresses that bridesmaids donned, as well as the round rose and ranunculus bouquets they carried. Photographer Brooke Images has dazzled us with the gorgeous images she captured of the reception, including a classic white cake trimmed in pink lace! See all of the beach-chic details in the gallery!
