Real Wedding ~ Wallis and Nick

We couldn't wait to share Wallis and Nick's Charleston, SC wedding photographed by Leigh Webber Photography and planned by our fabulous friends at WED. The event was packed with inspiring details and designed in a palette of white, fern and chocolate with a mixture of pastel accents that included soft pink and canary. Wallis wore a lovely lace gown she found at Maddison Row and a gardenia in her hair for the chic Southern soiree at Magnolia Plantation. Her fourteen (yes, there were really fourteen of them!) bridesmaids wore knee-length dresses with a white lace bodice and a chiffon skirt in soft fern, while Nick and his groomsmen wore khaki suits with green and brown striped ties. Wallis carried a massed bouquet of white blossoms created by florist Dahlia Designs and her bridesmaids carried smaller, tightly formed bouquets of a mixture of white and pastel blooms, including coral tree peonies, white ranunculus, green antique hydrangea and birch branches.

Green glass bottles holding stems of white hydrangea hung from shepherds hooks along the petal-lined aisle for the outdoor ceremony by the Ashley River. Two tumbling arrangements of white peonies, hydrangea, roses and greenery were set in tall cast iron urns framing Wallis and Nick as they exchanged vows. The reception was held in the property's Carriage House, which features an exposed beam ceiling and rustic wrought iron chandeliers. Champagne fabric was draped across the ceiling and woven through the rafters to highlight the strands of white orchids hung from the chandelier frames. Tables were covered in light clover bengaline and set with chocolate chivari chairs for contrast, while centerpieces were created from a variety of pastel blooms with an emphasis on pink. Southern inspired cocktails were served in mason jars while guests danced the night away to the sounds of The Mighty Kicks. We especially loved Wallis and Nick's spectacular wedding cake with a winding tree branch design created by our good friend Jim Smeal of Weddings Cakes by Jim Smeal. We also love the event's lovely wedding papers featuring a tree branch design by Studio R Designs. To see more of Wallis and Nick's pretty plantation wedding, visit Leigh Webber's blog!
