Hilton Head Wedding at Sea Pines Resort

Abigail and Jarrett planned their wedding on Hilton Head after spending summer months vacationing with their families. Residing in Charlotte with thriving careers, they hired a wedding planner to enjoy the experience without unnecessary stress.

Abigail always dreamed of getting married at Sea Pines Resort, home to the famous Hilton Head lighthouse. Their ceremony took place in Harbourtown, under the Liberty Oak, which was covered in florals. Guests then boarded red trollies and headed over to Sea Pines Beach Club for cocktails, dinner, and dancing.

Abigail and Jarrett consider the beaches of Hilton Head to be their sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Abigail expressed her desire for a wedding with a coastal chic vibe and wanted to incorporate peaches, the Harbourtown lighthouse, and watercolor art.

I always love to be challenged creatively and feel grateful for brides like Abigail to trust me with designing a stunning wedding reception that infuses their personal love story and unique ideas into an elegant affair. Thank you Jordan and Landon for capturing their colorful day so beautifully!

Katy and Fred’s Wedding at the Beaufort Inn

Beaufort, SC is one of my favorite towns to plan weddings in for many reasons, which I could easily create an entirely separate blog post about. Our bride, Katy was born-and-raised in Beaufort, so when it came time to plan her wedding to Fred, they knew right where it would be – in her quaint, waterfront hometown.

Katy and Fred were married at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, followed by a tented reception with 175 guests at the Beaufort Inn. Katy wanted a look that was crisp and organic with elements from the Lowcountry. Her colors were green and ivory with accents of rustic brown. We incorporated mixed metals of gold and copper to tie in with the ombre of browns in the magnolia leave accents, which graced every floral arrangement. I especially loved the hanging designs, which served as a focal point above the bar and dance floor.

Katy and Fred planned a strolling reception for their guests and had food stations sprinkled around the expansive tent. Chef Nick cooked up everything from quail and duck to some of the family’s secret recipes. For dessert, Minette Rushing of Custom Cakes Savannah created a tiered wedding cake with sugar magnolias and a hand drawn replica of their custom monogram.

Thank you Evan Laettner for capturing their wedding day so beautifully through your lens.

Real Wedding: Madeline and Joe

Having vacationed in Hilton Head for many years, Madeline and Joe knew this was the place to get married. They wanted a venue that would allow them to intertwine coastal chic with Southern flair. After looking at several locations in and around Hilton Head, the Mansion at Rose Hill stood out the most.

The ceremony took place on the front steps of the historic house. The brick walkway separated two areas of chairs where over 200 guests were seated. The altar was covered in colorful flowers, creating the perfect backdrop for their photos. After Madeline and Joe said, “I Do,” guests made their way to the back of the house where signature cocktails and hand passed hors d’oeuvres were served.

The reception took place under a sprawling clear top tent, draped in sheer gold fabric. Madeline chose a color palette of coral, teal, shades of pink and metallic gold. We had fun collaborating with Dawn at A Floral Affair to create three different table styles to give a less uniform look under the large tent. The outcome was exquisite and just as Madeline had envisioned. The greatest reward from that day was Madeline’s tears of joy when she laid eyes on her reception space for the first time.

Congratulations Madeline and Joe!

Real Wedding: Natalie + Ryan

Before baby Leiti #2 makes her debut sometime in the next week, I figured I would go out with a bang here on the blog by showcasing one of my favorite weddings of the year: Natalie and Ryan. Taking place on the beautiful coast of Hilton Head Island at Sonesta Resort, Natalie was the bride every planner loves to work with. She was calm, trusted my direction wholeheartedly, has a great sense of fashion (her sister after all is a fashion designer in NYC) and didn’t want to skimp on a single detail.

Natalie had “branding her wedding” at the top of her priority list, which always makes me excited! Her best friend Allison created a unique monogram and pattern that graced every detail of the wedding. From the paper products to the custom printed fabric for the pillows, guests were constantly reminded of this personalized element that was unique to only their wedding.

Brandon Lata captured their day beautifully and I am thrilled to share it with you here! Feast your eyes on this perfect day filled with beautiful details for a couple that warms your heart and puts a smile on your face:

Real Wedding: Dana and Matt

Dana and Matt were married at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa in late March 2014. Their ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the beautiful Oceanfront Deck and the reception took place at the adjacent Oceanfront Pavilion. They had around 100 guests in attendance for their destination wedding and the celebration was one for the books.

Dana’s style evoked classic elegance with a touch of glam. She wanted her wedding to reflect her style: preppy and refined. The groom, Matt, served in the United States Military Academy and during his time traveled through Korea, Germany, Afghanistan and Arizona. Being that Matt is a military man, he and Dana knew they wanted to incorporate a Saber Arch into their wedding ceremony. The Saber Arch is where a bride and groom pass under an honorary arch made of sabers or swords just after being announced husband and wife. The gentlemen holding the swords are dressed in uniform.

I started working with Dana and Matt about a year prior to their March 2014 nuptials. The couple lived in California so most of the planning was done from across the country via phone chats, shared Pinterest boards, emails galore and our handy dandy online planning software. They made two trips into town: one to pick their venue and one to meet with all of their vendors in person. It was a whirlwind of fun, which sure made the months fly by!

The team of vendors were hand picked by Dana and Matt and all came highly recommended by myself. Photography by Anne captured their wedding day beautifully and I am thrilled to share a handful of some of the images from their spring soiree!

Real Wedding: Janice and Adam

After 15 months in the making, Janice and Adam finally tied the knot on a perfect fall day here in the Lowcountry. Their ceremony and reception were held on brand new event lawns at Callawassie Island Club. Their day was captured by the oh-so-talented Scott and Melissa Hopkins of Scott Hopkins Photography.

Janice and Adam wanted their wedding to feel “clean, classic infused with modern accents and elegant.” Shades of white and champagne made up their luxurious color palette. One word Janice used to describe what she DIDN’T want was “rustic.” Coming from New York City, this couple has an appreciate for high fashion and design. They wanted their style to be expressed in their wedding design and that’s just what we did!

Janice and Adam are two of the most kind hearted, down to earth and genuine people you’ll ever meet. After working together for over a year on this very special day, I came away from this experience with a lasting friendship.
