Joanna, a lovely bride immersed in the NYC fashion industry, sought to join her sophisticated style with southern hospitality. Both graduates of Furman University, both bride and groom felt drawn back to the Upstate for the location of their nuptials, as it was here that they met and fell in love. Seeking to have an elegant outdoor wedding with modern touches was a perfect design to bring forth both the brides fashion-forward appeal and the groom’s classic, traditional vibes. 

Held in the Wyche Pavilion in downtown Greenville, SC, the open air venue made for the ideal September celebration. Organic florals balanced the glittering sequined linens and clean lined gold chairs and glassware, and after heartfelt toasts from family, the band kept guests on their feet from the first note played.

Outdoor events always carry the threat of inclement weather, but thankfully our backup plan was not needed, and Joanna & Alex’s day could not have been a more beautiful scene to welcome guests to a riverside downtown soiree.

Brittany and Alex had so many personalized touches woven throughout their entire weekend in an effort to make their guests feel special and loved; from the welcome boxes full of their favorite sweet and salty snacks, to providing wraps and scarves as the autumn’s night chill set in. We were so blessed to work with these clients, as their focus was so often on their guests’ anticipated experience rather than themselves. 

As you know, our whole team are suckers for a sweet pupper—but this one came with a heartfelt story. Having grown up with a golden as their family pet, Brittany’s brother secretly purchased a sibling pair of golden retriever puppies—the sister pup for his own sister—as a wedding present. Ducky gets to see her brother pup often when the family gets together, and of course this sweet new addition made for the most adorable photographs. 

The weather could not have been more perfect for their outdoor ceremony and tented reception held at The Reserve at Lake Keowee. As the night went on, the energy from the guests grew—if that was even thought possible; they were some of the most fun guests celebrating both Brittany and Alex to start with! It was so clear that everyone who was there loved them both so much, and we would expect nothing less for this darling couple.

Kate and Paul’s day, while located in the outskirts of the Blue Ridge Mountains, transported their guests to the European countryside. With both ceremony and reception held at the stunning Hotel Domestique, the day was graced with so much elegance and romance. The reception, located in the courtyard under a clear tent, gave off the perfect atmosphere for this event, and as the sun set, the lighting reflecting through the tent added just the right amount of soft glow to the space. 

Midway through the reception, Kate changed into a second dress to be more comfortable as the party moved into an evening of dancing. As they celebrated the night away, it was incredibly evident how much they adored each other, and it was such a special opportunity to be a part of their day.

Emily, one of the owners of Greenville’s own, The Chocolate Moose, sought to have a light, fun, sophisticated brunch wedding. From the start, this sweet bride envisioned a relaxed, intentional and unique experience—filled with unexpected touches. Emily and Adam wed that morning in the Rock Quarry Garden, in the center of downtown Greenville. First, they welcomed the guests to the ceremony with a cart with refreshments and donuts (a must-have, for the sweet shop’s owner)! Each guest was given a personalized cookie which further created a sense of intimacy and true care between the group. 

Back at their venue, a floral arrangement, growing out of a portrait, stood center stage. Florals were woven throughout the rest of the reception, growing along the walls, and hanging above the head table. A greenery wall concealed the DJ until it was time to hit the dance floor! When it was time for the newlyweds to head out, guests sent them off through a bubble tunnel, and they walked through hand in hand. Overall, this was an incredible night and we were so lucky to be a part of it.
