the grounds at Lowndes Grove overflowing with lush greenery, sweet peas, garden roses, and ranunculus. The couple exchanged vows in front of a cross plentifully bestrewn with an array of soft pastel roses inspired by Charleston’s moniker - The Holy City. Guests were greeted with a reception tent full of crystal chandeliers, neutral patterned and soft pastel linens, along with garden-inspired florals that gave the space the perfect elegant touch. The evening was punctuated by a glorious sunset over the river, the perfect ending to the perfect wedding weekend in Charleston.
