Beautiful. Intimate. Elegant. And replete with southern charm. I’m not sure there are four better descriptors for Stefanie and Russell’s South Carolina wedding. From the magical stick sculpture to the choir, custom-made linens and handwritten signage, the details are lovely and impeccable. With only their closest family and friends, Stefanie and Russell turned their big day into an intimate weekend event that began with an oyster shucking rehearsal dinner and ended with a boat ride on a vintage boat called Grace.

Oh, and when Photographer Melanie Nashan was taking Stefanie’s portraits, the choir sang for her. How charming is that? Charming indeed.

Her wedding at Dataw Country Club for Katie Huebel, WED’s owner… she was married there herself 12 years ago!

Caroline’s stylish wardrobe actually set the tone for the wedding. During a meeting about decor she came in with a navy shirt and gorgeous aqua vest and voila- colors decided.

Thanks so much to Virgil and his team at CVI Photography for sending these lovely photos our way (and check out his blog about the event here). Take a look…

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes!

But there is something so fun and lovely about the feminine details in a wedding from pink roses to a blushing bride.

Jay was SUCH a fun bride and she fully embraced all that was pink. I loved it. Here are just a few of the fun girly girl details:

(Thank you so much Leigh Webber for the beautiful photos!)

We loved sticking to tradition, and the neutral tones just brought out the natural beauty of the land and ballroom…

Her wedding ceremony was held at the gorgeous Old Sheldon Ruins. As the gospel choir walked up to the ruins singing “Blessed Assurance” I felt like we were all truly on sacred ground…

The cute boys!

We knew we had two “comfort” issues we had to combat: the heat and the bugs. This custom-designed program allowed us to inform guests of the ceremony details while also shooing away bugs and offering a cool breeze!

From the Old Sheldon Ruins, guests were led to the BEAUTIFUL Oaks Plantation on St. Helena Island… When guests were greeted with shots of oysters in vodka, each one knew a fun party was about to begin!

Guests were also invited to pick up a packet of praline pecans to snack on throughout the evening or to take home for a midnight snack…

Bright flowers by H.B. Stems were just gorgeous…

We draped the main tent with a grass green and the adjacent lounge, bar, and dance tents in copper. Amaizng how using the bright tones and plenty of lighting kept it summery and fresh!

YUMMY sugared pacans at the bar for that little something sweet we all need after a meal…

What do you think of these new chandeliers? I love the mod-ish vibe they bring to the dance tent!

 A few of the night’s details…

LOVE the ambience when the sun went down!

Congrats, Maggie and Cecil! Remember that the more it rains on your wedding day, the better your marriage will be… for y’all, that surely means you have a lifetime of happiness to come!
