Myrtle Beach Weddings {Leigh Anne + Douglas} Litchfield Plantation

We are beyond thrilled that the premier issue of A Lowcountry Wedding Mag is going live on Apple Newsstands this week and because we like to celebrate, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of one of the beautiful Myrtle Beach weddings that graced our pages.  Leigh Anne + Douglas tied the knot at the lovely Litchfield Plantation in Pawleys Island, SC and we adore every last detail of their dreamy Lowcountry wedding day.  Corina Silva was the mastermind behind the entire evening, starting with the decor + florals and finishing it off by capturing all the details!  Dying to see more?! Check out all the details in our complete digital edition of A Lowcountry Wedding Mag which you can check out here!

Unlike those of us who grow up daydreaming about our wedding day, the bug never quite bit Bride Leigh Anne; that is, until she visited the magical Litchfield Plantation.  After a few minutes of reveling in the beauty, she quickly turned to her father and said, “Daddy, I want to get married in the Spanish moss.” And we’re so thankful she did, because this Southern, plantation-style home in Pawleys Island has a knack for sweeping brides-to-be off their feet.

On the day of their wedding, rain threatened to put a damper on their outdoor festivities, but as luck would have it, the clouds opened up just in time for Leigh Anne + Douglas to say ‘I do’ under the Oak trees.  Afterward, they joined their guests for a Lowcountry evening complete with chic chandeliers, mason jars and rustic lanterns.

Myrtle Beach Weddings {Juliemar} Tilghman-Boyce Cottage

Who's in the mood for a little Lowcountry wedding loveliness!?!  When it comes to all things Myrtle Beach weddings, the wonderful Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt always captures the best of the best...and it's not different with bride Juliemar.  This natural beauty stunned as she spent a beautiful Southern afternoon on the grounds of Tilghman-Boyce Cottage.  Outfitted in a gorgeous gown, M. Gladden Designs bouquet and adorable teal Converse, we're mesmerized by her effortless ease in front of the camera and the ah-mazing natural light.  Thanks to Gillian for always blessing us  Myrtle Beach weddings and their pin-worthy inspiration.

Myrtle Beach Wedding {Jennifer + Carl} Grande Dunes Ocean Club

I wanted to get back to sharing all of these beautiful weddings that graced the pages of our first online mag and this Grande Dunes Ocean Club bash is one heck of a stunner!  Jennifer + Carl hail from the great state of Michigan and decided the Lowcountry was the best place to host their destination wedding...and we're sure glad we did.  M. Gladden Designs took Jennifer's black and white color palette with pops of yellow and orange and translated it into some jaw dropping arrangements.  Thanks to Carolina Studios by Gillian Reinhardt for showering us with this beautiful Myrtle Beach wedding!  Even though we wanted to (and we sure did try!), we couldn’t include everything in the magazine, so to find out a little more about Jennifer’s big day, check out her answers below and to see all the details you can purchase a digital edition of the Mag here!

What made you choose your venue? What elements drew you to it? My family has been traveling to Myrtle Beach for the past 15+yrs for annual family vacations. A few years back, my parents purchased a second home in the area and decided to make Myrtle Beach their “winter home”; we are from MI. Over the years, Myrtle Beach became our family’s second home. My brother now lives there full-time; my parents live there about 6-7 months out of the year and Carl (my husband) and I both travel frequently throughout the year to visit.

We elected to host our destination wedding in Myrtle Beach, at the Ocean Club, over Memorial Weekend, for our friends and family (all from MI) because Myrtle Beach is considered a “home” to us and we wanted our friends and family to know and understand why we spend as much time as do in the area. We chose the Ocean Club because my family and I are members and it was also a perfect place for us to start our lives together – a venue that we (Carl and I) frequently visit.

Out of the entire day, what was the most memorable moment? LOL – my hair appointment, of all things! Horrible experience, but best attitude anyone could ask for! Keep in mind, this was a destination wedding – but the salon that I had booked my MOH and my hair appointments at months in advanced lost our appointments and refused to take us; another salon was willing to take us (probably feeling horrified for us!) last minute after my cousin explained the situation. Despite the moment .. it’s something that I will never forget. My cousin (MOH) couldn’t believe how calm and reserved I was about it. I had a “it’s ok to whatever happens today” attitude! And nothing was going to ruin it.

How many guests attended - 37 total (all from MI)

Color Palette – black, white, yellow, orange, cream colors

Tell us all about the details! Did any have special meaning? What was your favorite?

Tell us a little bit about your menu… We chose a cocktail and hors d'oeuvre wedding reception offered by the Ocean Club. It was the perfect choice for our small and intimate setting. We had approx.. 37 guests total (including ourselves) and wanted to mix & mingle with our guests who took the time to fly down and spend their holiday weekend with us. We absolutely did not want to separate anyone or exclude guests.

What’s your favorite picture from your wedding? My absolute favorite picture was the very last photo that Carolina Studios’ captured of Carl and me as they were headed out for the evening. It was an amazing shot that captured a very special moment for us.

Heritage Plantation Wedding {Robyn + Andy}

It totally slipped my mind that yesterday was Veterans’ Day (which might explain why I showed up at the County Treasurer’s Office to pay my car taxes and no one was there.  Whoopsies!).  Had I remembered, I absolutely would have shared Robyn + Andy’s quaint Heritage Plantation wedding from Dana Cubbage Wedding Photography but instead, we’ll just share it today! Since the lovely Dana Cubbage was there to capture all the details, it’s only fitting we let her tell their love story… ”Andy is in the Air Force and based in Louisiana, while Robyn lives and works in Missouri. These two have spent so much time apart, but their love for each other - and Robyn's 10 year old son, Drake - is evident. One of my absolute favorite moments of their day was immediately after the ceremony, Drake came up and hugged both Robyn + Andy.  It was an extremely special moment.

Robyn planned the entire wedding herself. She even did her own hair and created her own bouquet! Talk about talented! She chose Heritage Golf Club after seeing photos of it online. She absolutely fell in love with the location, the large oaks, the marina, and the Spanish Moss. Oh, the Spanish Moss! Although it rained in the morning, the skies cleared in time for their outdoor ceremony beneath an oak tree. We couldn't have asked for better weather, and the sunset at the marina was stunning. Robyn, Andy + their guests released wish lanterns from the dock at the end of the evening. Although the wind made it tricky, they were able to successfully launch a few. It was a beautiful sight and onlookers cheered as they took flight.”

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!?!

Oh, boy! We're taking a trip up the Carolina coast, just outside of Myrtle Beach, to the quaint little coastal town of Pawleys Island where Lauren + Shelton recently tied the knot under the beautiful Oak trees.  This stunning Southern wedding took place at one of the Lowcountry's most picturesque venues, Litchfield Plantation and provide the perfect backdrop for a lovely evening under the stars.  With the help of Corina Silva, the couple brought their rustic dreams to life with a charming coral, aqua and navy color palette.  Thanks to Feuza Reis Studios for capturing all of the charming details!

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.

Debordieu Club Wedding {Kacy + Justin}

I can't believe we're wrapping up 2012!  It's been a wonderful year here at A Lowcountry Wedding and we couldn't have done it with your support.  We've got big things in store for 2013 and can't wait to share all the big news!  Hint, hint: a lovely new online Lowcountry wedding magazine MAY be coming your way! To close out the year, we're sharing a stunner from a few of our favorite Myrtle Beach wedding vendors!  Kacy + Justin's beach affair took place at the breathtaking DeBordieu Club where the talented Paula Player Photography was on hand to capture all the lovely details.  Greenskeeper Florist created delicate hydrangea bouquets with touches of cream and peach roses while the bridesmaids wore aqua dresses.  The adorable couple said 'I do' on the beach before celebrating with their guests.  Thanks to Paula Player for this gorgeous DeBordieu Club wedding!
