F E A T U R E D • F R I D A Y // An October evening wrapped in layers of lush green and gold ✨ Isabel + Daniel’s celebration at Lowndes Grove was the epitome of timeless elegance and tailored design. Following a downtown church ceremony, the newlyweds arrived in a vintage white Rolls Royce to a riverside cocktail hour, where guests sipped transfusions and champagne beneath the oaks. The reception unfolded beneath a clear-top tent swathed in rich olive draping, its ceiling gathered in sculptural folds that framed a series of gold chandeliers. The custom floral-wrapped dance floor echoed the garden-inspired palette, while tables dressed in patterned linens, woven textures, and abundant blooms in blush, mauve, and green created a sense of refined romance. Every detail—orchestrated by Peninsula Events—balanced warmth and originality, transforming the grounds into a romantic garden soirée for 300 guests.

F E A T U R E D • F R I D A Y // Go ahead and pick your jaw up off the floor. Welcome to the magic that was Ashley + Andrew’s October wedding! Following 3 days of setup, the result was *chef’s kiss*. A complex and intentional design. Absolutely scrumptious layered textures. And an abundance of florals that felt as though they grew right from the ground. Guests were first welcomed to the River House, where they were greeted with champagne topped with edible blooms plus watermelon margarita boozy pops before making their way to the breathtaking + whimsical waterfront ceremony. Then came everyone's favorite part: cocktail hour by the water! Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails that included a limoncello spritz and a carajillo while giving their taste buds a sneak peek into the evening's delicacies, with a lowcountry biscuit bar and traveling raw bar. Dinner took place beneath a sailcloth tent on the front lawn, soft seating surrounded by elegant draping, veiled violet + blush accents, and columns adorned in lush florals. Beneath the main tent, the reception unfolded beneath cascading greenery, the space completely reimagined in a new palette and texture: soft lounge seating, sculptural statement florals, and custom bar silhouettes in a satisfying java tone that felt both refined and inviting. The stage provided the perfect backdrop, defined by the semi circle of fanned pleats in a fun copper shimmer satin. The celebration continued late into the evening with an after party at the American Theater — the final chapter to a weekend made to be experienced, not just attended✨
