Middleton Place Wedding Reception: D’Anne & Patrick

April 26, 2012

Continuing on with the fabulosity of D’Anne and Patrick’s Spring wedding at Middleton Place, today’s post features their reception. If you missed the photos for the ceremony, you may see them here.

While guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, we took advantage of the grounds for lots of photos. Everywhere you turn is scenic- the live oaks, the gardens, the Ashley river. you can spend days there. Middleton Place is a wonderful spot to get married.

Guests enjoyed a seated dinner in the pavilion where many heart warming toasts were given. You can tell that family is very important to these two. After the cake cutting DJ Rob Duren injected some energy into the dance floor and the dancing was non-stop. They left at the end of the night under sparklers and got into a Charleston Black Cab. May they live happily ever after!

I love this silhouette shot on the steps of the former plantation house.

The flowers are by Stems and the decor is from Hemstitch Vintage

The Cake Stand made an adorable cake and Stems topped it with a peony.

Lowcountry lemonade was the signature drink of the night, mmm!

A seated dinner with toasts was perfect for this intimate crowd.

This is one of my favorite photos to take at weddings- landscape shots at twilight.

Milk and cookies anyone?

More Southern charm…

Middleton Place Wedding: D’Anne & Patrick

April 25, 2012

D’Anne and Patrick could not have gotten married on a more perfect day at Middleton Place. For those who have never been there, it is a National Historic Landmark and home to America’s oldest landscaped gardens. This was a destination wedding and many of the guests came from California. I can only imagine how enchanted they were by the Spanish moss let alone the gardens. In fact D’Anne had to remind me how spectacular even the urns were, wanting to make sure they appeared in some of the photos.

The girls got ready at the Middleton Place Inn, one of my favorite places to stay. It’s quite modern and contrasts nicely with the historic gardens. The ceremony was held in the octagonal gardens under the most amazing live oak. It was quite a sight to behold.

As an event planner herself, D’Anne had lots of ideas of how to make her wedding picture perfect. All the little touches- the chalk board seating chart, ribbons to wave after the ceremony, and a cute “here comes the bride” sign for the ring bearers to hold made it all the more photogenic.

Enjoy these photos from their ceremony and tomorrow’s will highlight their reception.

Getting ready at the Middleton Place

D’Anne wore a necklace that was made from her grandmother’s diamonds. It was a very special way to honor the memory of her grandmother, who was always a fan of Patrick and told D’Anne to not let him get away!
