Refreshingly Bright & Subtly Preppy Springtime Wedding at the Admiral’s House

With whispers of preppy style and the prettiest pink florals, Kennedy and Jackson’s wedding was kissed by a refreshing springtime aesthetic.

High School sweethearts Kennedy and Jackson grew up together while growing deeper in love. They met at ages sixteen and seventeen, and with each passing year, their connection became stronger. Jackson knew he wanted to keep his proposal private between himself and Kennedy. They became engaged in their hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, over Thanksgiving break. Knowing Kennedy would hope to celebrate with their families, this was perfect timing for Jackson, who planned the post-engagement surprise party.

Kennedy knew she wanted a gown with classic lines and an effortless, danceable silhouette. Her strapless Anne Barge wedding dress included a textured fabric inspired with a subtle preppy stripe and oversized bow at the back. She also altered her mother’s wedding dress, which she wore for the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.

As their signature drink, the couple served a watermelon margarita, dubbed the "Marry Me Margarita" for the event.

Garden-inspired wedding invites included a painting of the venue, hand-lettered cursive, florals, and pink ribbon borders. Incredible white columns marked the entrance of the Eternal Father Of The Sea Chapel. Highlighting pinks and pastels, outstretched tulips and foxgloves rested at the doorway in a whimsical display of color. Inside, wooden church pews were tied with large ivory bows. Grand oaks draped their branches above the outdoor dining tables. White lanterns and string lights connected the oak trees. Florals were set as centerpieces in woven baskets, appearing as the season’s blossoming potted plants for a sublime setting for dinner.

Kennedy and Jackson had a three-tiered, Lambeth-style wedding cake to top of the evening.

After an intimate ceremony, Kennedy and Jackson were congratulated by their guests, who tossed flower petals into the air along the brick steps.
