Gold + White Rustic Glam Winter Wedding

Charleston is at the tippy top of our wanderlust list these days and when we visit this beautiful Southern city, my hubby and I will most definitely be stopping by Boone Hall Plantation, and after going through Dana Cubbage's pics (more than once may I add) of this winter wedding, my adoration for this venue tripled. The only way to make it even better? A dreamy dress (thank you Gown Boutique of Charleston) and one delicious cake courtesy of Ashley Bakery. See it all in the Vault right here!

From Dana Cubbage Weddings... Kathleen and Michael’s gorgeous winter wedding was the PERFECT start to 2015! With only the slightest chill in the air, their day ended up being absolutely perfect and as I look back through their wedding images, my heart is so very full.

We started their day at Midtown Bar + Grill on King Street in the heart of Charleston, where the girls got ready upstairs and the guys took over the bar downstairs. It was just the perfect place to start the day, considering groom Michael owns the place! Kathleen and Michael opted for a First Look at the College of Charleston’s Cistern Yard and it was incredible. Kathleen was absolutely glowing and Michael couldn’t take his eyes off of her. It was truly one of the best First Looks I’ve ever documented!

After spending a few minutes with the bride and groom alone, their wedding party arrived for photos and it was a blast. The girls looked AMAZING in their shimmering Adrianna Papell gowns and vintage fur stoles and the guys looked oh-so-dapper in their classic black tuxedos paired with custom Brackish Bowties. After some photos at the Cistern, we all headed to their reception venue – Boone Hall Plantation – for some more photos. There, we got a peek of the reception space and I have to say – Kathleen did an AMAZING job designing her wedding! With her background in the event industry (she was an intern for Calder Clark!!), she really knew how to make her vision come to life. It was simply gorgeous and so totally her – classic, elegant and glamorous.

Kathleen and Michael’s ceremony was held at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian and it was so simple and beautiful. After their ceremony, everyone headed out to Boone Hall for their reception and it was truly a night to remember. Michael’s father played with the band and the dance floor was absolutely packed all night. At the end of the evening, Kathleen and Michael exited through sparklers.
