We’re taking advantage of Flashback Friday and sharing pics from a bright and cheery fall wedding we did at the William Aiken House. Guests received Save the Dates from Lettered Olive featuring custom maps of Charleston with all of the important locations noted.

I love the khaki suit option for early fall weddings. It’s usually still warm here in Charleston so the material works well, and the neutral color means it often compliments fall palettes. Plus, who doesn’t love a man holding flowers?

We had fun playing with the colors throughout all of the design elements.

The couple loved that the interior colors at the Historic venue worked with the bright hues of the wedding.

The couple chose a green paisley patterned paper that was used on the invitations and throughout the wedding decor. Centerpieces were placed in cylinders wrapped with the paisley paper.

Printed on the paisley backed paper and tent folded, menus doubled as the place cards at dinner.

This was one of my favorite menus items in a long time… Appetizers were Jalapeno hush puppies with pimento cheese. Something you wouldn’t think always about serving as part of a wedding dinner, but Fish Catering did an amazing presentation and we made fun embellishments.

An al fresco dance floor and lounge welcomed guests for dancing after dinner. Ottomans provided a rest for those needing a break and paisley paper wrapped cylinders were placed around a reflecting pond.

Local Charleston favorite, Peninsula Grill has a famous Coconut cake. Two individual tiers anchored the dessert station but this couple elected not to do a traditional cake cutting.

Dessert selection included mini pecan, pumpkin, and key lime pies, individual pistachio cakes, and chocolate caramel petits fours.

Guests were given freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts in custom boxes as they left.

The old school Caddy convertible begged for the old school send off of the cans tied to the car. We spray painted them in the wedding colors to keep them photo perfect of course!
