This wedding had all the components to make it not only lovely, but also classic. Clean and simple lines, a pretty pattern, a versatile color palette, and of course, peonies! Guests received invitations (designed by Lettered Olive) inside of a pink paisley letterpressed pocket instead of an inner envelope.
LL Bean boat totes were personalized to feature a classic NYC black and white cookies (the bride hails from NY), and locally made Benne seed wafers, tea bags, and Charleston Magazines for occupying any down time at the beach.
Classic hand calligraphy was used throughout to lend a formal tone; Guests found their seating assignments in postcard carousels; we also stationed Polaroids and photographers here for guests to leave a note card with their photos and well wishes in the empty slots.

After dinner, the pink paisley cake by Jim Smeal was accompanied by pink sorbet in champagne – a new take on cake and ice cream!
A soothing after dinner lounge tent was a the perfect spot for guests to unwind and get into the dancing spirit.
Thank you to Liz Banfield for all of the photography here.
