Kristina & Chris
Episcopal Church of St. Luke & St. John
William Aiken House
Heather Forsythe Photography

Kristina won our day of coordination at the Spoleto Auction the previous year. She has some experience working events in the past so she had very specific decor ideas that she wanted. At the same time, she was more than willing to be surprised by Luke's designs. She was such a joy to work with, always calm with a smile on her face just happy in love! Chris was just finishing up law school so he stayed pretty busy and was most excited about the tasting! Of course, with Fish catering, how can you NOT be excited?!



The ceremony was beautiful and traditional. The bride and Groom arrived for cocktail hour at the William Aiken House and we kicked off first dances and announcements.



Guests then headed upstairs for another fabulous seated dinner. Afterward Heart and Soul kicked it into high gear with dancing until the end of the night. Thanks to IES we had awesome lighting in the main tent along with the lounge tent!




We were able to do a lot of fun things for Kristina and Chris. The orchid garlands with crystals on the ends in the trees were one of my favorites. Heather Forsythe created all of their stationary from save the dates and invitations to the place cards and menus at each table; as well as shooting their wedding (amazing isn't she?!). We took a piece of the design and created a lighted stencil to be shot onto the carriage house during the event as well.

Aimee and Milton
Citadel Summerall Chapel
The Mills House





Aimee and Milton's wedding was a great event! They had a great band, and their guests danced all night!

Having a great party was very important to these two. We had a few seating tables and a lounge area for guests but kept most of the ballroom open for mingling and dancing.




We brought in some great bare branch trees and hung orchid garlands from them to help break up the expansive ballroom space.




We used the Queen Street Gallery area for more seating for those guests who needed a break from the band.

Lindsey & Brad
St. Luke's Chapel
Wickliffe House

Lindsey is probably one of the most beautiful bride's we have had all year. Not that all of our brides are not beautiful, but not all of them bring us to tears watching them walk down the aisle. Lindsey was one of them.


those of you from the Charleston area know that Memorial Day weekend is a very busy time for weddings! We had THREE weddings on the 24th all over Charleston. It rained all morning and the forcast was looking grim. However, as Charleston weather likes to change at a moments notice Lindsey was able to walk back from the Church in the sun!



Lindsey choose a fun combination of pinks and greens for the decor and we used our white west elm lanterns as centerpieces as well.

Farrah & Harry

Talk about a destination wedding! Farrah and Harry's guest list was literally global! We had guests from all over Europe as well as the US. Farrah has been living in Italy for the past couple of years, but being from Charleston there was no question where she would get married!






Farrah and Harry were married on the front lawn. We hung milk bottle lanterns from the pergola with green and black ribbons. They had a custom runner made with their name's and date printed. Farrah's bouquet was a beautiful mix of white and ivory flowers with ostrich feather mixed in.




We hung out white lanterns in the trees that have a little bit of gold brush accents on them with votives inside.



After cocktail hour downstairs we asked guests upstairs for dinner. The silver and green combination on the table is so fresh and simple! The bride provided the mercury candle holders. After dinner guests were asked back downstairs to enjoy the rest of the evening. We reset the front lawn with large community tables to utilize the space. We tented the smaller grass area and had a lounge area under the tent.
