Event Highlight: The 3rd Charleston NotWedding

The Holy City has done it again, y’all. Only Charleston would tease us all day with a chilly breeze and an ominous curtain of clouds, then clear up just in time to bust out one of the most killer sunsets for our ceremony on the water. What an overachiever. Our vendor team blew us away as well, working together to create wedding inspiration heaven for our guests, and it was seriously impressive. Take a peek into the beauty that was the third Charleston NotWedding — enjoy!

Inspiration

Inspired by ornate architectural details and soft atmospheric layers, our talented vendor team took us to a dreamy new place that we had never been before. They used traditional materials in subtle new ways and did so with a tremendous amount of detail, leading to an old-fashioned yet elegant atmosphere that appealed to every bride. Our Charleston vendors followed a Parisian Whites inspiration board, then took it to the next level by adding the perfect Southern twist — yielding a result that was truly breathtaking.
