Whoohoo, how gratifying to see photos of a wedding so quickly after the event… especially the wedding of Whitney and Daniel at The William Aiken House.
Marni took the photos for us and she just always blows us away with both the photos that capture all the candid emotion of the people and also all the beautiful details of the setting… thanks for passing these along, Marni!
And head on over to The Wedding Row to read about all the fun details… I always love her collages from the blog and they really bring the details to life.
Here’s a peak of the lovely October affair…
Congrats, Whitney and Daniel!

Whoohoo, what a fun flashback for us to see Marianne and Emre’s wedding on Charleston Wedding Magazine’s blog featured as this week’s “Flashback Wedding.”
Marianne and Emre’s wedding was quite simply gorgeous. Marianne was ahead of the gold and metallics trend and I have not seen The Rivercourse on Kiawah look as beautiful as it did that night.
Be sure to check out the blog here!

There are funny people and then there is Donna Von Bruening. We LOVE working with Donna because she is always making our staff, our clients, and all of our vendors laugh all night long.
And Tara and Jesse’s laid lack and fun personalities were perfect for Donna and also for the whimsical teal and yellow art deco-inspired wedding. WED brought in TEC, Studio R, Snyder, and Jim Smeal to the Harbour Club to transform the space with some mid-century style. I especially LOVED the ostrich feathers!!
Congrats, Tara and Jesse!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. When I opened up this file of photos taken by the wonderful Alison Mayfield of Christian Oth Studio I could not stop saying, “Wow.”
Rebecca and Robby’s wedding was just one of my favorites and NOT just because we worked on one of the most beautiful places in the entire world with some of my favorite vendors like The Sanctuary, Dahlia Designs, Wedding Cakes By Jim Smeal, TEC, Studio R and Snyder.
What really made it incredible for our whole staff was the graciousness and loveliness of the bride and groom, Rebecca and Robby. They are hip professionals living now in North Carolina who were just a true pleasure to work with every single day. I loved to talk with Rebecca about her wedding vision and loved that she trusted us to carry that through for her. Her style was timeless and elegant but with a good dose of fun thrown in there, too. What a great weekend it was on Kiawah… take a peek for yourself:
The stunning bride…
The groom “getting ready” for the wedding… 
Both SO excited to see each other!
…A beautiful spot we found on the way out to Kiawah!
This little lady who was hanging out on The Sanctuary lawn was mesmerized by the bride, telling her, “You are soooo beautiful” and “I’m going to be a bride, too.” Precious. I think she would have participated in the rest of the photos if she could have.
Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs.!!

Ashley is a dear friend of mine and is was SO MUCH FUN to help her with her June 2010 wedding at the Cathedral and Mills House!
What I loved is that Ashley completely trusted our vision for the colors, feel, etc. She would say, “I just can’t see it in my head at all, but I trust you!”
It all started around a gorgeous teal-toned bridesmaids dress that she chose. She really loved fresh, summery colors but wanted to make sure it all meshed well together. We brought in pale pinks, apricots, greens, pale blues and creams and I think the results were beautiful.
Here’s a peak of some of the photos that the lovely and talented Kate Thorton snapped for us that day…
Congrats to you both and I can’t wait to hang out with Mr. and Mrs. Jeter!

You know what, I’m not an inherent girly girl. I grew up between brothers, what can I say??
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!)

One word: LIGHTING!
Here are a few shots from a hunting lodge that we transformed into an uber-romantic, pink-infused evening:
(The cake was lit under the linen, casting an ambient glow that could be seen even through the outside windows)
(The bar and cigar bar were uplit in hot pinks, and the trees across the lake were hilighted in blue. We even added a “full moon” to light up the night…)
(The two main interior rooms were all about “sleek” and “pink.” Custom white carpet and pink, pink, P-I-N-K lighting!)
Lighting Design by Todd St. Onge and PDA
Cake by Jim Smeal

Location: Buckridge Plantation

Thank you SO MUCH to the wonderful Tamara Lackey for these photos from our summer ’09 Palmetto Bluff wedding… what was not lovely about this summertime soiree??
We loved sticking to tradition, and the neutral tones just brought out the natural beauty of the land and ballroom…

There are the weddings that take years to plan… countless hours to design and coordinate and dozens of staff to put together. And these are gorgeous!
But then there are also weddings in which everything just seems to fall into place naturally. Dates are open, vendors are magically available, the flowers come in more beautiful than normal, and family and friends come around to create a relaxed, gorgeous, and utterly joyful weekend.
Jim and Becky’s wedding was so much fun for WED to plan, especially since Ellen Robinson and her husband were guests themselves. After we completed the set, Ellen was able to leave her planner cap at home and enjoy the food, drinks, and dancing- whoohoo!
Leigh Webber (be sure to check out her great blog here) was able to capture these beautiful shots of the William Aiken House wedding…
Ellen and her friends relax and enjoy the party!

WED’s May 2008 wedding was just featured as Wedding of the Week on TheKnot.com!
Sara & Ben in Charleston, SC
Sara and Ben planned a spring wedding at a historic home in Charleston, South Carolina.
Years after falling in love on a graduation trip to Costa Rica, it made sense for College of Charleston alums Sara and Ben to tie the knot in the place that started it all: the storied Southern city of Charleston, South Carolina.
The Bride Sara Givler, 28, attorney
The Groom Ben DeWolf, 29, stock trader
The Date May 17
While Sara was feverishly pursuing a law degree four hours away from Charleston, the couple began a long-distance relationship. When Sara finished up her first-year exams, she and Ben hopped on the first plane to Italy for a romantic getaway. On their third night in Rome, beside the Fontana di Trevi, Ben proposed, and soon the happy to-be-weds began dreaming up plans for their wedding day back in Charleston, the bride’s hometown and the place they’d come to call home.
