Bourbon and Bluegrass

Ike and Ange, or Ikelina, as they came to be known in the planning process, do not get a lot of free time together. For their May nuptials, all they wanted to do was kick up their Kentucky heels with a great day for guests in downtown Charleston.


In the planning process, ‘organic’ was a word that kept coming out with them, so we kept things simple and beautiful.



Instead of a tent, clean ivory umbrella tables fit into the lovely garden of Thomas Bennett House, which only made the surroundings pop. I love taking my sketches to Country & Lace, because she always turns out a perfect version of the vision.

Add some bourbon lovers and the bluegrass sounds of Blue Plantation, and you’ve got a relaxed evening of good times ahead.






Fresh herbs and garden roses made things look as if they were there to stay, and the fresh local menu from Gourmet Bay was just as mouthwatering as it was fresh and light.

I loved designing this wedding almost as much as I love the images I got from Karson Photography of it!
