Timeless All White Elegance Meets Waterfront Wedding Romance in Hilton Head South Carolina

Sydney and Nick’s journey from college friends to soulmates was years in the making, but it was well worth the wait. After meeting during their first year of college, they stayed friends until senior year when they decided to give dating a try—and it was the best decision they ever made. Following a perfectly planned proposal (after Sydney jokingly worried it would never happen!), the couple celebrated their love with the timeless wedding Sydney had always dreamed of. From the all-white florals and decor to the stunning waterside ceremony overlooking the harbor, every detail embodied classic elegance. The celebration continued with a beautifully draped tent, a checkered dance floor, and a night filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

We met freshman year of college in our freshman orientation class. We both were taking Rap class as our class – he actually chose to take it, and I just procrastinated and that was one of the last options, haha. He also lived in the dorm that my best friend lived in and we stayed friends throughout the years and in our “super senior” year of college we decided to give dating a try and it worked out! 

Funny story on the proposal – we went to look at rings in February and he didn’t propose until December so the night before he was actually going to propose we had a conversation that I thought it was never going to happen. Little did I know he had planned a dinner, where he proposed with just us two, then planned a party afterwards with our close family and friends! 

For years I always wanted an all white wedding – so I wore white, my bridesmaids wore white, and all the flowers were white. 

My dress was Azul by Liancarlo (Style 18114). I went in thinking I wanted a long sleeve dress but couldn’t find one I loved. We went to three different places and this was the very last dress I tried on. At this point I thought I wasn’t going to find one. The person helping me ( from the White Magnolia in Atlanta) suggested I tried on this mermaid, strapless dress, that had a low cut and I was like Ok, I will try (with hesitation) but then the second I put it on, I knew it was the one for me! 

He wanted just a classic look so he wore a black tux that he rented from the company The Black Tux. He then got suede loafers that he work with no socks to make it a bit more trendy. 

Having the painter was amazing as well and added an extra special touch. 

I loved my first look with my husband! I still remember the butterflies I had walking down to see him. Would re-live this moment everyday if I could :) 

I loved when we got announced to the reception and all the bridal party came out and we had a little dance party all together! 

Easier said than done – but try not to stress when things don’t go the way you want them too. Something will go wrong on the wedding day but I promise no one will have any idea it went wrong. 

Also, the welcome bags are not that big of a deal! If you don’t want to spend extra money on them – I say don’t do it and spend your money elsewhere. 

Loved my flowers!! They were everything I wanted and more!
