THE CHARLESTON PLACE

A Classic Winter Wedding in Charleston

Caroline and Chris had a classic, intimate celebration with 65 of their closest friends and family in the Grand Ballroom of The Charleston Place. Rescheduled due to Covid-19, the couple finally celebrated their nuptials at the stunning St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church, the oldest Catholic church in the Carolinas and Georgia. After, guests walked through the church’s garden courtyard to a cocktail hour held in the Grand Hall of The Charleston Place, overlooking King Street. After, guests mingled under the picturesque chandelier and the happy couple even cut their wedding cake with a family saber. A December wedding, the bride chose colors that celebrated the holiday season including winter whites, rich ruby reds and bold blush tones. Furs for the bridal party completed the winter wonderland vibes.
