Andrew + Elaina were ready to celebrate their love when they started planning their May 7, 2016 wedding. They turned to Haley Kelly with A Charleston Bride to create the fun-loving, Spring day they envisioned full of color and whimsical details. "When I met Elaina I knew that we were going to be a good fit." remembers Haley. "She was super organized and knew exactly what she wanted for her big day! Lots of colors and a ton of flowers!" For her wedding day look, Elaina embraced the joyfulness of the day in a lovely lace gown that she paired with a low up-do and Jack Rogers sandals. Her seven maids set the tone for the colorful palette in long, teal dresses. Each carried garden-style bouquets from Stephanie Gibbs Events that featured ranunculus, anemones and an eye-catching, pink peony. The ceremony took place at Holy Communion where an adorable team of flower girls lead the way in fairy-style dresses with heart-shaped wands. After the ceremony, guests made their way to The Cedar Room where tasty mocktails awaited their arrival. One of the crowd favorites was "The Honeymoon" which was a mix of coconut cream, pineapple juice, grapefruit and grenadine! Tables were set with floral and greenery runners, watercolor table numbers and, for a little added shine, finished off with gold chivari chairs. Kraft paper and lollipop centerpieces were the name of the game for the little ones who had a blast coloring and playing with Legos in the own personal space. But the real wow factor was above the head table where an eighteen foot floral installation with the words "Love Never Fails" captured everyone's attention. Thanks to Shannon Michele Photography for documenting all the details!
