KELSEY & CODY

Agapae Oaks Wedding

St. Helena Island, South Carolina

Kelsey & Cody’s paths first crossed thanks to a well-timed dare.. While attending the St. Patrick’s Day festival in Columbia, South Carolina, Kelsey was dared by her friend to run up and kiss a random guy on the cheek and, as fate would have it, Cody was the lucky guy! For their Lowcountry wedding day, the couple was keen on highlighting the marshlands of St. Helena Island. So, with the help of the Hilton Head wedding planning team, Trish Beck Events, they kept things simple with an elegant, neutral color palette so the natural beauty of the South Carolina marsh could shine through. To add a personal touch, Kelsey wrapped her bouquet in lace from her mother's wedding veil. She also included a patch inside the bottom of her dress with her favorite family saying. The reception featured a stunning sailcloth tent and all-white centerpieces. At the bar, guests sipped the signature cocktail - a refreshing peach sangria - that included a stir stick featuring the couple’s German Shepherd, Cowboy’s sweet face. As the night ended, guests snagged a sweetgrass roses before treating the couple to a firework exit as they hopped in a getaway vintage truck that Kelsey’s dad reburished.
