From A Charleston Bride... We knew immediately that this wedding was going to be the perfect unity of beauty and grace.

The bride dreamed of getting married at the River Course on Kiawah Island since she was a little girl and it was in fact on this same island, during a family vacation years later, that the groom realized she was “the one”.

Our heart were full and our minds dripping in dreamy bliss when planning this wedding. The ceremony set the tone for the evening with a live painter, string trio and choir and the details continued flowing at the day went on.

As the couple walked down the aisle, the choir sang "singed, sealed, delivered" Cocktail hour was adorned with strolling oyster shuckers, a champagne and bourbon bar as well as a clear top tent with the dreamiest draping, floral and lounge. The inside ballroom was a sea of couture linens from La Tavola, and the perfect place for guests to dance the night away. As a nod to the couples recessional song, the couple exited their reception in a vintage car adorned with a garland and a calligraphed "signed, sealed, delivered" banner!
