Coral peony tent wedding at Lowndes Grove in Charleston, SC
When the bride is an interior designer, we know we're in for a stylish wedding with a beautifully cohesive aesthetic. Sabrina and Elijah’s wedding certainly Lowndes Grove Estate in Charleston lived up to expectations and the couple didn't let the gloomy, wet weather dampen their bright and joyful day.
"The forecast was not the most promising, but even under grey skies, Lowndes Grove is a timeless beauty with the parameter of the property enclosed with ancient oak trees and the wide salt marshes of the Ashley River," explains their Charleston-based wedding photographer, Kailee DiMeglio. "The couple and their planner, Abby Frye, splashed this historic venue with a bright, effervescent color palette, and modern touches, such as neon signage that stated 'kiss me, you fool' (also the inscription on Elijah’s wedding band!). It blended seamlessly, with Sabrina in her tiered tulle Vagabond dress and floral bridal headband as the centerpiece of the entire scene.
"Sabrina was quietly distressed about the weather, but her bubbly bridesmaids were persistent in their optimism," adds Kailee. "The sky opened up right before the ceremony, but the show went on and guests raced out of the rain and into the refuge of the sperry tent. Festoon florals helped to create a bright, cheerful atmosphere with technicolor bouquets placed throughout the seating area. With her father by her side, Sabrina made her way through the rain, over to Elijah. By this time she was laughing, knowing that this stormy ceremony would one day be a cherished memory."
