We are so excited to share images from this stunning soiree shot by Perry Vaile photography. And, thank you to the Over The Moon Blog for their recent feature. We loved loved loved working with this amazing and fun couple on their wedding last year at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC. The laid back vibe of the couple was translated into a elegant but chill affair for their friends and family.
The welcome gift by Palmetto Bluff and Soiree included homemade biscuits, butter, and jam, and homemade granola! A perfect little breakfast in bed for the guest cottages.
We found this amazing marble paper that the bride loved as well, so we had fun finding different ways incorporating it throughout the wedding- kind of like a treasure hunt. Here, they line the pages of the ceremony programs by Lettered Olive.

How amazing is this mother of the bride in her Kate McDonald dress? Stunning!
The Chapel on site at Palmetto Bluff is a sweet site on it’s own, but we added a lovely photo backdrop for the vows by mimicking the arch of the window with greenery and simple flowers.
Local gospel accapella group, the Plantation Singers provided music for cocktail hour on the lawn overlooking the May River.
You know how we love to design bars using different fabrics, or materials to make for a interesting installation. Thick lemon leaf creates a natural feel but statement piece for guests.
Comfy seating viognette on the lawn for cocktail hour..
Dinner was held under a sail cloth tent with a mixture of long and square tables.
One of my favorite design elements to the dinner tables were the clipboards containing the vellum calligraphied menus and place cards backed with the marbled paper.
We wrapped glass candle cylinders with the marbled paper and had our calligrapher paint on the table numbers in metallic gold.
A sweet little detail for the couple of the evening!
Guests moved into the ballroom after dinner for a full on dance party.
We created sweet little seating spots on the porch outside the ballroom for those guests that wanted a quiet retreat from the action inside.
After a quick change into a shorty jumpsuit, the couple departed by sparkler send off on a tandem bicycle back to their cottage! Congratulations Caroline and Wyatt!
