Representative Deon Tedder, the groom, is a state representative for District 42 in Charleston, South Carolina, and his bride, Dr. Jillian Tedder, a local dentist, are a beloved couple that the community as a whole was so thrilled to see married, and this wedding would be the culmination of celebrating their story and their families and friends. The overall vision for this wedding day was to be something classic, romantic, and an ode to Charleston – showing off both the history and beautiful landscapes that surround Lowndes Grove. The couple wanted something that was both formal and approachable – making sure their guests felt comfortable while enjoying a stunning event at one of Charleston’s most well-known venues.

The florals took a romantic approach with baby’s breath and lush roses, two of the bride’s favorites. With the natural beauty that surrounds Lowndes Grove, these florals were more of a perfect complement, making a big impact where needed and feeling like a natural extension of the grounds simultaneously.

Dominique played selections on his violin that ranged from classical to popular songs we all know and love, and brought such an electric energy to the wedding day. [/field]
