I have known this bride since she was little (I used to babysit for her!) and we did her older sister’s wedding many years ago, so this was a special wedding for us.  The bride wore a dress that her great grandmother had worn so many years ago and was stored in the attic, there were a few minor adjustments made, but it’s amazing how the condition withstood the test of time That was really our inspiration behind all of the vintage touches, while adding in some modern freshness. All photos from Gayle Brooker, printed items from Lettered Olive.

We are usually blessed with a few truly perfect Saturdays in October here in Charleston, and this was one of them, so we were so lucky to play up the “secret garden” feel with seating vignettes throughout the garden at the Governor Thomas Bennett House. Food stations were also scattered throughout the garden encouraging guests to mingle throughout.

Since the wedding offered just beer and wine we wanted to make sure to pay some special attention there, so Lettered Olive designed custom wine labels and we affixed to every wine bottle (also used as part of the bar display)
