Jen and Cole kicked off the start of the year with an intimate family affair. They exchanged their vows in the charming May River Chapel and then had coffee refreshments on the lawn served fresh by Corner Perk. We loved that Jen and Cole shared a dance under the Oaks along the May River! Jen and Cole exchanged the most heartfelt vows and exchanged the sweetest looks of love throughout their celebration.

Not only did Hilary and Andy have a beautiful tented reception on the Arthur Hills Driving Range, but Annie had the of privilege of being the Maid of Honor! SO fun!! Hilary designed all of her paper goods (love!!) and used her family's silver for the centerpieces. Since Hilary and Andy are both locals most of their guests knew each other, which made for a packed dance floor and a wonderful evening of fun!

Pops of French blue and rattan soft seating made for a chic preppy affair on the 18th Lawn of Harbour Town Golf Links. Caroline and Matt had the prettiest Sperry Tent with beautiful floral details. The Voices of El Shaddai surprised the guests with their powerful voices and it sure was an Oh Happy Day!!
Sara & Matt

Venue: Sea Pines Resort
Sara and Matt said their vows on the beach and their wedding party held puppies instead of flowers, yes puppies!! With their love of animals, and Sarah being a Vet it was only fitting that they included their 4 legged friends. The puppies were from Jasper Animal Rescue Shelter and we love that they included this act of kindness. Guests moved inside to the Atlantic room which was full of blush and gold décor and danced the night away!
Amanda & Will

Amanda’s dress= absolute perfection!! Amanda and Will planned the sweetest Ceremony with their Pastor marrying them and a Groomsmen leading a beautiful hymn. We loved hearing sweet toasts of the couple, they were true testaments of how wonderful Amanda and Will are and their infectious love for each other. You could feel all of the guests love for Amanda and Will as they celebrated the couple with excellent food and fabulous dance moves! We absolutely adore you and your families!!

Talk about an absolutely stunning Low Country setting! We can’t get enough of this intimate celebration and beautiful table settings complete with a gorgeous custom monogram designed by Emily McCarthy that was a gift to the groom from his thoughtful bride. We also loved partnering with FARM to create a delectable menu for the family to experience.

Haley and Ryan held their Ceremony at the iconic Liberty Oak tree, one of the Groom’s favorite places and the Groom’s parents even surprised the darling couple with a live painter of the Ceremony!

We had the true honor and privilege to plan the Grand Opening of one of Timbers Resorts newest properties, Timbers Kiawah on Kiawah Island. Timbers Kiawah is a stunning beachfront property with the most loveliest blue tone interiors designed by the ever so talented J Banks Design Group.

Alex and Jason had a perfect clear November day to say I do on the 18th Fairway of Sea Pines Country Club. Alex was in a stunning designer gown and we loved the rich fall colors. A Floral Affair created beautiful florals and integrated unique fruit into their designs. Guests danced the night away under a canopy of lights. We loved helping plan the weekend events with Alex, Jason and their entire family!

It was winter wonderland for SSE!! We loved transforming the Nicklaus Clubhouse with elegant draping, rich navy accents, and greenery hanging from the chandeliers. Hayley and Ethan looked fabulous in their formal attire and we could not have had a prettier evening! Hayley and Ethan had every detail covered including hand painted ghost chairs for cocktail hour, light up tambourines and shakers to kick off the dance party and the tastiest Alljoy donuts at the end of the night!

Sneaking in the last day of 2018, was Emily and AJ’s fun New Years Eve soiree! Guests dined and danced overlooking the Ocean at Sea Pines Resort Beach Club. The room was filled with glitz, glam and love as they toasted the New Year with an after party at Ocean’s Lounge. What a way to end the year and begin 2019! Congratulations Emily and AJ!!
We can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2 0 1 9 !
