Classic Elegance re-defined








Now this wedding is one I have been waiting to post pictures of since the day we were hired. Catherine and her mom and dad met me at the William Aiken House to view one of our weddings. From the moment I saw her in what I believe I remember to be the most gorgeous navy blue dress (with a fantastic, dramatic collar, no less) I simply knew it was meant to be. Catherine and her family were literally geographically all over the map at the time and they were looking for somewhere to call home base for the planning stage. LWSE gladly offered that home base to them.







After choosing the William Aiken House we carefully planned each and every detail. Each vendor clicked with Catherine and Adam and we just knew it was shaping up to be the perfect wedding weekend. From the classic photography of Leigh Webber to the timeless elegance of Elaine's Events Cakes; even down to the fun and flirty Soul Fish band. Each vendor fell perfectly in place for this true sweet southern couple. Enjoy some of the images of what was the perfect April wedding weekend.


Of course every perfect wedding starts with the perfect stationery suite. We designed this in conjunction with Studio R Design. The hand calligraphy brought through the perfect tone of formality that we were looking for.




The Bridal bouquet with Bridal Wreath Spirea, Garden Roses, Sweet Peas and more.




The Pergola at William Aiken House adorned with Variegated ivy and Hundreds of garden roses in cream and soft apricot. The garden roses were really a theme of the night. We used them with sweet peas for what we deemed the perfect pew marker. So sweet.





The decor in the tent was a modern spin on classic black and ivory elegance. The clear top was just the perfect touch to open up the space and give lots of light on our slightly cloudy day.




From the Walnut Cream Cheese filling to the specialty Arnold Palmers, the south was the flavor of the night at this cocktail reception.





Now for some reception snapshots.




Congratulations Catherine and Adam. We were so happy to have been a part of your special day ... and Catherine we are so happy to finally see you on the blog. :-)
