We are so excited to be sharing more from this special wedding today on Wedding Wednesday. Candice was gracious enough to share her advice for staying cool under the pressure of planning with us yesterday, so we thought sharing more of the beautiful photos from Liz Banfield was fitting! The nuptials took place over looking the banks of the Ashley River at Runnymeade Plantation. The Oak trees on property provided much of the inspiration as you’ll see in many of the details throughout.
The printed materials were a huge importance for this couple, so Lettered Olive letterpressed wood grain paper, incorporated etched bronze elements, and created a custom pattern used for many decor elements. The couple’s two Australian Shepards are an important part of their lives, so we really wanted to have them in the wedding somehow. They were the perfect backdrop for the couple’s “Save the Dates”, and for favor boxes of take home wedding cake we fashioned into “Doggie Bags”.
Wild and lush was the feel of the flowers for this celebration with an unexpected color scheme- teal, peach, cream, bronze, natural wood. The bouquets still felt refined and composed with garden roses, hellebores, berries, sweet peas, ranunculus, lily of the valley, and various greens.
Cocktail hour took place on the riverbanks and incorporated al fresco lounge seating and custom designed umbrellas by Boutique Tents. Fabric was printed and sourced to be fashioned into pillows bringing in all of the patterns and colors used throughout for a layered look.
The couple are oenophiles so to give them something cherished for their collection, we had a select magnum displayed during cocktail hour for guests to sign…
Multiple cakes by Jim Smeal were displayed on a galax leaf covered table. Cakes included hand molded flowers and blades of marsh grass.
Guests dined in a tented carpeted in seagrass as woven greenery garlands created the effect of dining under branches. Ostrich leather topped tables were topped with lamps, and glass vases of different bundles of flowers. Velvet menu books in shades of greens were marked with bronze name plates as seating cards.
After the sun set and dinner was finished, guests moved into the lounge tent which was a luxe with soft peach carpet, beige velvet sofas, chandeliers, and an al fresco porch for those wanting a break from all of the dancing.
Late night treats included a cigar roller, a hot dog cart and hamburgers from their favorite spot, and passed milkshakes which were a cool treat for those into the dancing!
The couple departed by sparklers in a vintage Chevy pick up truck with hay bale seats!
