Organic Glam and Thousands of Vibrant Flowers in Lowcountry

Farris and Tyler tied the knot at Lowndes Grove on September 17th, 2022. The weekend successfully blended the groom's outdoorsy nature and the bride's glamorous quality. The couple emphasized this balance between organic and luxe with every design choice. Each turn of the evening needs to be layered with great music, ambiance, vibrant floral installations, and rich elemental details.

While Tyler was attending pharmacy school and Farris was attending medical school, they often found themselves frequenting the university gym together. Stealing glances at each other turned into an occasional hello. Tyler finally made his move with a letter of admiration to Farris, which sealed the deal on their connection. After Farris matched to her top anesthesiology program on Match Day, Tyler proposed. The couple had the ultimate task of planning a wedding and starting their careers in healthcare at the height of the pandemic. The results of the wedding weekend were a clear indication of how incredibly hardworking, deserving, and beautiful the couple indeed is.

Farris found her dress at Gowns of Grace in Dallas, TX. The bride's hand-embroidered Toni Federici ceremony veil with handmade floral details was a pivotal inspiration to other important wedding day details such as the wedding cake, the couple's crest, and scriptures read during their ceremony. Her main wedding shoes were Stuart Weitzman. After the evening's heartfelt toasts, the bride changed into a sparkling custom party dress from Modern Trousseau with coordinating Chanel shoes.

All the bridesmaids wore Jenny Yoo floor-length gowns in a beautiful light sage color.

The groomsmen looked dashing in their Vera Wang suits and bowties.

A warm Lowcountry sunset blanketed the couples cocktail hour while guests ordered drinks from bars adorned with vibrant living orchids and enjoyed passed appetizers. The couple had three signature cocktails; Kentucky Mules (His), French 75 (Hers), and a Paloma (Ours) amongst the full open bar available to guests throughout the evening. PPHG provided in-house catering for a sit-down served dinner for their guests. For dessert, guests were served the couple's wedding cake. The couple served a fun late-night pass selection of smash burgers, truffle fries with garlic aioli, and chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.
