Time for the best part - was were some of your favorite moments of the day?

Our favorite moment of the day had to be our “secret” vow exchange prior to the ceremony and guests’ arrival. I highly recommend combining your “first look” with a personal vow exchange or letter reading. It was so special sharing our own words to each other on a secluded path surrounded by water and the beautiful Lowcountry. We were both shaking from all the excitement and nerves. We knew once guests began to arrive, we would both go into hosting mode, so exchanging vows beforehand gave us the time and space we needed to focus only on each other for a few, sweet moments. Followed closely by reuniting with our dog! The whole day was truly a dream come true!
Within a large U-shaped table arrangement, watching guests share a family-style, southern meal at long tables adorned with loose florals in handmade ceramic pottery finished with blush taper candles created an unforgettable ambiance.

My niece was my original flower girl but was unable to fly to my wedding due to COVID risks and her young age. The decision for her not to come was made late in hopes things would turn around, all the COVID couples understand this! At the last minute, I called some mamas of past students of mine and they were able to quickly order some dresses and make my flower girl dreams come true! They had the best night ever twirling on the dance floor, roasting s’mores, and of course, swinging!

A favorite moment from the night was taking the girls to sneak some icing off from our gorgeous, hexagon shaped cake, inspired by my wedding gown (made by ABCD cakes)!
