Garden roses, tea roses, sweet peas, tulips, and nerines in shades of pinks made up the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

We custom built the ceremony site over the Mingo Point oyster pit, We did our version of a ceremony “in the round” but was a ceremony in the octagon!

The groom had a vibrant pink ranunculus boutonierre to match the brides’ colorful bouquet.

The after dinner lounge provides an inviting place for guests to take a break from dancing… This evening light was so perfect!

Instead of escort or seating cards we provided guests with custom individual boxes that included letterpressed menus and tags with their table number.

Table numbers hand calligraphied on letterpressed tags and adorned with green mums hung on the back of the chairs so as to not overcrowd the dinner tables.

There was a huge fire pit on site, so we set up a marshmallow roasting station for guests after dinner. Cute packaging just adds to the details!

The brides’ brother dancing with his daughter who was also a flower girl… Heart melting!

The sleek after dinner bar and lounge made guests excited and ready to hop on the dance floor after having dinner. We love doing long bars that allow plenty of space for bartenders and guest accessibility so there are never lines!

We shared bits from the rehearsal dinner to this Kiawah Island fete last week. Thought it only fitting to share the beautiful wedding details as well. We transformed the ballroom at the Sanctuary so that it didn’t look like a ballroom (that floral dance floor!)- that is afterall why you would want to have a wedding on the beach in Charleston, right?  The photos by Corbin Gurkin really captured the ethereal look we put together for this bride.
