Hilton Head Weddings

Oldfield Club Wedding {Stina + Bill} Amy Marie Kay Photography

We love when stunning Hilton Head weddings roll across our inbox, especially when a dreamy Lowcountry wedding venue is involved!  This beauty kicked off with a traditional ceremony at quite frankly one of the prettiest coastal churches I've ever seen, The Church of the Cross in Bluffton.  After saying their 'I do's', they continued the celebration with a beautiful Oldfield Club wedding in Okatie, South Carolina.  Guests were treated to an evening of Southern cuisine before they hit the dance floor...and they hit it hard!  Thanks to Amy-Marie Kay Photography capturing the amazing, and lively, celebration!

Hilton Head Weddings {Danny + Laura} Port Royal Golf Club

We're so happy to welcome the New Year here at A Lowcountry Wedding!   With the launch of our ALW mag (come check it out here!), 2013 was crazy (to say the least).  With the outpouring of support we received, we can't wait to see what's in store for 2014.   At the request of our Southern brides, we're expanding our vendor gallery to bring you ladies the best of the best that the Lowcountry has to offer.  Soooo, until Jan 10th, we're offering great rates for vendors interested in a listing or banner ad, so shoot us an email at hello{at}alowcountrywed.com to chat!  In the meantime, I've been dying to share this Port Royal Golf Club wedding from Scobey Photography.  You know how much we love Hilton Head weddings, so when this vibrant beauty rolled across our inbox, I squealed a bit.  The blue bridesmaids dresses and charming pink peony bouquets are totally my style.  It's the perfect Southern wedding!

A Lowcountry Wedding Magazine Premiere Issue: Sneak Peek!

So, I know we've taken a bit of a blog hiatus, but I promise it's been for a great cause!  Over the past few months, we've been slaving away over the premiere issue of A Lowcountry Wedding mag.   It's been quite the process, we've been planning shoots, selecting real weddings and attempting to figure out the world of InDesign.  We've had a few hang ups with some things behind the scenes, so we thank you for your patience!  With it being our first issue, everything has taken a little longer than expected, but we'd rather have it perfect then send out something we're not 100% proud of...and we promise you're it's going to  be well worth the wait!  So, to hold you over until the end of the week, we thought you'd give you a sneak peek of the beautiful cover shot by the talented Angela Cox Photography at the stunning RiverOaksAsh and Co. Bridal killed it with model Katie Cockman hair and makeup, as she rocked a gorgeous LulaKate gown and that beautiful Moon and Lola necklace....Do you like!?!

Westin Resort & Spa Hilton Head Island {Jaime + Ned}

We’re taking a trip down to the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa this morning to share a beautiful Oceanside affair from King Street Photo Weddings that is sure to have you dreaming of a destination wedding!  With plans for a short engagement, Bride Jaime immediately dove into her wedding planning duties and quickly selected HHI as the destination.  Thanks to their stunning renovation, beautiful ceremony deck and an amazing coordinator, Julia Dodson, it was no surprise The Westin Resort & Spa  became their venue of choice.  But it was Julia’s recommendation of Michel Berda of King Street Photo Weddings that was the missing piece.  Michel’s artistic eye and diligent approach to his craft made for stunning images and a pretty awesome blog post for our A Lowcountry Wedding readers! hilton head weddingshilton head wedding photographyhilton head wedding vendorshilton head destination weddingshilton head wedding blogs

Lowcountry Wedding Vendor {Sperry Tents}

There are a few things that make my heart skip-a-beat quite like a Southern wedding venue paired with an oh-so lovely tent.  Now add our friends at Sperry Tents to that mix and you've got a little slice of Lowcountry wedding heaven.  Sperry Tents is the end all, be all when it comes to breathtaking Southern tents and, lucky for us, they've stopped by today to share a few tips to assist in planning your outdoor reception... .

Considering an outdoor reception under the classic, Lowcountry backdrop of Spanish moss-covered live oaks?  Here is our quick guide to what you need to know as you begin to plan your outdoor wedding reception.

charleston weddings, sperry tents

Using a tent isn’t just about keeping your family and friends out of the elements (they can be heated and cooled!), but also about creating your own unique venue, customized for your celebration. The exact same tent can lend itself to a modern-style aesthetic featuring clean lines and crisp colors or be transformed into a romantic haven with draped fabrics and crystal chandeliers.

lowcountry weddings, sperry tents

Our Sperry Sailcloth tents are undeniably special.  Any bride-to-be who has spent time clicking around on wedding blogs or Pinterest has surely come across these tents.  The tents are round or oval-shaped, installed on custom milled wooden poles and topped with pennant flags on each peak. They’re reminiscent of a great old teak sailboat you might see gliding through Charleston Harbor.

myrtle beach weddings, sperry tents

Okay, you’re sold on hosting a tented reception.  Now what?

While I always recommend hiring a wedding planner, if your reception venue is outdoors, your first call should be to the tent company. What you may not realize is that the tent provider usually offers a range of services including flooring (dancefloor and stage or even custom-built decking), lighting, custom draping, and furniture rental.  In fact, our company also provides power distribution equipment, restroom trailers, and onsite event service.  We also create scaled layout drawings for every event—from a 50 person cocktail reception to a 5,000 person seated dinner.  We will become fast friends as we help you navigate through some fun decisions (Customized pennant flags! Bistro lights! Hanging lanterns!) and some not-so-glamorous ones (fire permits and restroom trailers, anyone?).

hilton head weddings, sperry tents

Before picking up the phone, pull together a few details to have on hand during our conversation. Here’s a quick list of questions to help you prepare: 

  • When is your wedding?
  • What is the reception location and how many guests will you have?
  • Do you plan on hiring a DJ or a band?
  • Have you picked a service style for the reception (seated dinner, standing reception, etc.)?
  • What is the terrain surface and topography of the site?
  • Is there any power available to the area or will you need to have this provided?
  • Where will the guests use the restroom?
  • Should any specific décor / style details be included in the proposal?
  • What is your budget range?

coastal weddings, sperry tents

Don’t stress if some of these details are still up in the air—we’ll help you work through your numbers and prioritizing equipment based on your location and budget. A site visit will also ensure all of the planning comes together seamlessly.

sperry wedding tents

What else should you expect before saying “yes!” to the Sperry Tent?

Many clients mistakenly assume that a home wedding will be more cost effective than a traditional wedding venue.  While the word “savings” and “wedding” should never coexist in the same sentence, consider the extra money you’re spending to host the wedding at your home as an investment in the venue that holds the most meaning for you. Parts of the ‘outdoor equipment package’ are not always the most exciting, but are necessary to make everything function. Generators are not as beautiful as hand-engraved invitations; however, walking down the aisle in your grandmother’s garden might land higher on the priority list.

southern weddings, sperry tents

Finally, make sure to bury the bourbon. We can’t control the weather, but we can control how to manage it on your wedding day. Hire a company you trust, one that provides emergency numbers and holds weekend hours. Weddings are truly a team sport— leave covering home plate to us.

Hilton Head Wedding {Ashley + Phil}

I have to say, I couldn't be more excited about this week's ALW line-up.  We've got one stunning Lowcountry wedding after another, a charming Downtown Charleston bridal session and even an Isle of Palms bachelorette party that will probably have you running for the nearest bottle of champagne just so you can join in on the fun! But to kick-start what's sure to be a very pin-able week over here, we're heading down to Hilton Head for Ashley + Phil easy-going, beach affair planned by Weddings with Leah.  This cute couple tied the knot in a low-key, ocean side ceremony in front of an intimate gathering of family and friends before making their way back to the beach house to celebrate the night away!  My favorite part...all of the wonderful pop-up stationery that the bride and groom designed themselves.  Genius!

Lowcountry Wedding {Details}

Can we talk about some of my favorite Lowcountry wedding details?!  I thought so :)  The coast of South Carolina is home to a few of my favorite beach towns: Hilton Head, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.  These coastal cities are full of Southern charm and have a distinct Lowcountry personality that makes our weddings every Southern girl’s dream! charleston weddings

These chairs are wonderful and when teamed up with those fabulous fans you’ve got pure perfection.   They’ll give your guests and extra breeze as they watch your intimate ‘I do’s’.  I’m picturing an gorgeous, outdoor ceremony under the grand Oaks with a beautiful Plantation home in the background.  Swoon.

charleston wedding vendors

Menus on printed on napkins…yes, please!  What an elegant touch to any place setting.  I just hope I wouldn't get it dirty!

charleston wedding blogs

Don’t you just love this idea?  Place note cards on each table with fun questions printed atop each one.  Throughout the reception guests have the opportunity to leave their comments on the card(s) of their choice.  I can only imagine how amusing/inappropriate the answers could get as the evening goes on.  How much fun would it be to read over their answers when you return from your honeymoon with a bottle of wine?  Tons!

hilton head weddings

I just had to include this.  I can’t think of a better way to really get your guests excited about your upcoming nuptials then to let them know there is going to be some serious celebrating taking place and you need to know what tunes get them out of their seats.  Forget the entrée choices, just make sure we’ve got some ‘Party in the USA’ and ‘Tootsie Roll’…you know what I mean!?

Myrtle Beach weddings

Joy Thigpen, just stop it with your seaside perfection.  I love everything about this.  It is oh-so Lowcountry.  Not only do I love the grey linen but that oyster garland is pure heaven.  If done right, and it’s done so right here, oyster shells are a laid back but chic touch.

lowcountry weddings

I had to share these star lanterns.  What a beautiful touch to this Southern soiree.  They’ve got a clean, modern feel that would a darling addition to any tented reception under the Lowcountry stars.

Southern Weddings {Place Settings}

If it wasn't for Pinterest, I'm not sure I would get my daily fix of Southern wedding details.  Luckily, with all the talented wedding vendors that call the Lowcountry home, I don't have to go far to get my pin on!  So, today I'm sharing a serious round up of some of my favorite place setting that have recently graced my Pinterest account.  Boy, do I love a good tablescape.  It adds an instant dash of elegance for any Charleston, Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head Wedding!  Don't you agree? myrtle beach weddings, place settings, table settings, cotton decor

Southern Weddings {Boutonnieres}

Who’s ready for a little bout-scootin’ Wednesday?!?  Today in the Lowcountry, we’re sharing our current obsession…boutonnieres!  I'm not sure why, but boutonnieres have become one of my favorite wedding details.  They sum up your entire wedding in one adorable little package and, let’s be serious, who doesn’t love accessorizing all the men in your bridal party?  You know I get a little Pinterest crazy sometimes and I live for beautiful, Southern wedding details, so here are a few that caught my eyes from some of our favorite Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach and Charleston weddings. charleston weddings, charleston wedding vendors, charleston wedding blogs, hilton head weddings, myrtle beach weddings, southern weddings, lowcountry weddings

Southern Weddings {Cakes}

I have a slight tendency to go a little crazy on Pinterest and who can blame with all the fabulous wedding inspiration there is out there.  Today, I'm sharing a handful of my favorite cakes that have been floating around in Pinterest-land and I know you're going to love every single one!  I guess I'm having a gold moment because quite a few of these lovelies are dusted with a gold shimmer.  If you haven't already, don't forget to check out our previous posts on our favorite, swoon-worthy wedding cakes. charleston weddings, charleston wedding vendors, charleston wedding blogs, hilton head weddings, myrtle beach weddings, lowcountry weddings, southern weddings

Today's stunning styled shoot at September Oaks Vineyard in Ridgeland, South Carolina was designed to show off the stunning Lowcountry wedding venue and highlight the 2012 Pantone Color of the year, Tangerine Tango...and I promise, you're going to love it! The 10-acre vineyard property originally was part of the McTeer estate and is now home to an award winning family owned boutique winery. Beginning in 2011, it has been made available as a wedding and event venue with a charming guest house, a paved arbor, gazebo and plenty of convenient onsite parking. Because September Oaks is a working vineyard and winery, all events are held outdoors. The dream team of Lowcountry wedding vendors started with Larger than Life Events who designed the chic affair while InventivEnvironments handled the dazzling decor and Marie Kato rocked it with the fabulous flowers (I die over those tulips!). Thanks to the talented Bita Bookman for the gorgeous images...
