Coastal wedding with pastel flowers at Sea Pines Resort, SC
Small in size but mighty in charm, the coastal oasis of Hilton Head Island in South Carolina has a special way of capturing the hearts of Lowcountry lovin’ folk. At a young age, Rachel decided she would get married on Hilton Head one day. She’s always loved the winding tidal creeks, slow moving pace and family-friendly essence of the town.
After being set up by mutual friends, Josh and Rachel felt sparks fly and began planning trips together. Keeping her childhood wedding wish a secret, she took Josh to Hilton Head to see how he liked it. Once on the island, Josh smugly mentioned “this would be a great place for our wedding.” Stunned to hear him speak these words, Rachel knew it was fate.
Charleston wedding photographer Kailee DiMeglio tells us more about their special day: "With the salty breeze rolling off the Atlantic coastline and sweeping through the sun soaked property of the Sea Pines Resort, we knew it was going to be a glorious day for a wedding.
"Guests graciously grabbed flutes of champagne and took to their seats, enjoying the view of the coastline and the island’s iconic red-and-white-striped lighthouse. Fresh Weddings elevated the natural environment with lush arrangements of soft pink roses, blue snapdragons and green eucalyptus, including an elegant, crescent-shaped design to frame the couple as they exchanged their vows.
"After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests moved to the pavilion, where Cheers Darling had created a beautifully relaxed reception space in shades of blue, cream and gold, complemented cane back chairs and woven straw placemats.
"After dinner, the band drew everyone to the dance floor as everyone caught a boogie fever. A conga line wove in and out of the pavilion, growing in length and then culminating in a big party. Rachel changed into a fabulous off-the-shoulder party dress with a high slit and marabou trim. This rockstar bride even took to the stage and sang a song with her bridesmaid crew!"
