There’s a little place outside of Charleston that is like heaven on earth… this place is Kiawah Island.

For those who have been, you know just what I mean. The natural beauty of the island is almost hard to believe and this bride and groom were all about showing off nature at its finest.

A trolley transported Allison’s and Matthew’s wedding parties from their rooms at The Sanctuary to the ceremony at the lovely Holy Spirit Catholic Church:

Guests were greeted with silver juleps (these doubled as favors at the end of the evening!):

Then picked up their escort cards underneath this lovely “live oak”…

Then cocktailed on the Osprey Point patio overlooking their gorgeous grounds:

PDA Lighting supplied the uplit backdrop for the band, which was focal for every table in the room:

Centerpieces in pale yellows, creams, and greens were oh-so-garden-chic:

This wedding was all about the cakes! I couldn’t decide which one I loved the most- the Notre Dame dome grooms cake, the tiered brides cake on a custom stand or the cupcake and truffle tower…

And this fabric is my latest obsession- I would love this tray in my own house!

Congrats to Allison and Matthew, we absolutely loved working with you and your families. And, of course, thank you for giving us yet another excuse to head out to Kiawah!
