Alexandra Madison Weddings planned this wedding held at Governor Thomas Bennett House in Charleston, South Carolina. The bride spent the morning getting hair and makeup styled by Charleston I Do. Her golden locks were styled in a curly updo with loose tendrils framing her face and topped with a veil. She was radiant in an illusion neckline wedding gown with short ruffled sleeves and chapel train. White rhinestone strap Jimmy Choo shoes and gold floral earrings completed her look. She met her groom in a traditional black tuxedo for first look portraits. Her bridesmaids were dressed in various pastel dresses and Branch Studio created white floral bouquets for the entire bridal party. White chairs set outside near the fountain created the aisle with white floral arrangements on pillars at the end. Two flower girls dropped a trail of petals for the bride to walk on to meet the groom. Surrounded by family and friends the lovely couple exchanged vows.
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with signature drinks prior to heading to the tent reception. White tablecloth covered tables with a blue runner awaited guests with white flowers and greenery in clear glass vases. White dinnerware and gold flatware along with white napkins with greenery made up the place settings. A large mirror with names and table numbers pointed guests to their seats. Crazy Dutchmen Catering provided a delectable meal to guests. The bride and groom then cut a two tier white buttercream cake for dessert. For dancing, the bride then changed into a short, white dress with fringe on the bottom. Bunn DJ Company provided entertainment for guests to celebrate the newlyweds.
