South Carolina – Sweet Violet Bride

South Carolina Rustic Barn Wedding {Shoot Y’all Photography}

For Marc and Mandy, entering their rustic barn wedding on horseback was as natural as slipping on their cowboy boots. These two met on a trail ride, but it was Marc’s horse that Mandy fell in love with first! It took him a little longer to win her over, and there wasn’t just one proposal. “He asked me a million times,” says Mandy, “And one day I said yes. He still proposes at least once a week.” The love they share for horses, and animals in general, made their choice of wedding venue a no-brainer. The groom entered with his best man (man’s best friend), and the entire down home feel of the day represented the life they live together. Their farm has expanded to include almost 20 furry friends since they got hitched.

Details of the Day:
Marc and Mandy chose many DIY details to make their country style wedding fun and beautiful. They turned their barn/riding arena into a ceremony location with hay bale seating, fairy lights on the ceiling, lanterns, little bouquets of wheat, and neutral colored curtains to frame the entrance. The bridesmaids wore denim dresses with cowboy boots and their reception was filled with western farm décor including wagon wheels, saddles and rustic signs. They gave country style jars of jam as favors and friends and family sent them off at the end of the night with a magical display of sparklers.

Magnolia Plantation Wedding by Jose Villa Photography

Violets, I have such a pretty wedding to share with you today! Photographed by the amazing Jose Villa, Meagan and Tim’s wedding at the Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina will take your breath away – so stop whatever you’re doing and prepare to be inspired! I love the blend of lacy, girlishness (the Claire Pettibone dress, knitted lacy shawls, and crocheted rocks) with the earthy venue and woodland details of the table settings, bouquets, and seemingly magical tree at the ceremony location. The wedding was held on a remarkably warm December day last year, casting an ethereal light on their lovely day. Sigh…such beauty.

Whimsical Vintage Wedding by Joyeuse Photography

This South Carolina wedding is full of incredible creativity. Each unique detail has a whimsical bohemian, vintage or nature inspired style and every single table at the outdoor reception was different. The families of the bride and groom came together to make this wonderful celebration happen, so it was truly a labor of love. These two grew up together and Scofield proposed to Lauren in a beautiful tree house in their backyard. How sweet is that?! If you want even more inspiration, check out Lauren’s gorgeous bohemian bridal portraits, also by Joyeuse Photography.

Country Chic Pepper Plantation Wedding by Chi Photography

Holly and Brandon were first introduced when Brandon lived at the apartment complex where Holly worked. The manager introduced them and even encouraged them to go on a lunch date! In June 2012 they were married at the beautiful pavilion at Pepper Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Their day was filled with rustic-country DIY details by Holly’s stepmom, and summery hues of cornflower blue, magenta, and yellow. Chi Photography of Charleston did a wonderful job of capturing their joy and the sunny celebration. I love the shot of the newlyweds in the field of horses. Their cupcake tower with just one top tier of cake for the cake cutting is also a great idea as an alternative to a full wedding cake. Read below for more details!

Unforgettable Wedding Moment: When Brandon was going to throw the garter, we realized the only men at the wedding were all married! We ended up inviting all married men instead of the single guys to catch the garter.

Details of the Day: Brandon and I wanted to have a country chic wedding that allowed our guests to feel comfortable while making sure our wedding still had an upscale feel. We had about 65 guests and 90% of them were from out of town so making sure they left full and happy was another important aspect for us. We went with our favorite colors, blue with hints of yellow, to create our wedding colors. Daisies are also my favorite flower so having our centerpieces incorporate that was a fun detail.

Holly’s Advice: Make a list of the most important things to have on your wedding day & make sure those are the first things you buy and/or put a deposit on. Then work your way down to the smaller things.

Quirkiest Detail: I wore sandals instead of heels with my wedding dress because our ceremony was outside and not only did I not want heels to sink into the grass but I also didn’t want to leave with aching feet!

Thriftiest Trick: My stepmom made almost all of our decorations. Plus it is a huge stress reliever having someone you trust making the details of your wedding come to life.

Something Old: My grandmother’s ring & my step dad gave me a sixth pence for my shoe!

Something New: Wedding dress & shoes

Something Borrowed: One of my closest friends and sorority sister, Ainslie, lent me her Phi Mu badge to wear over my heart (& under my dress).

Something Blue: The garter that my step mom made.
