This October, Abby and Casey said “I do” in an intimate waterfront wedding at a private home on Folly Beach. Their shared love for Charleston and life on the water inspired a day that felt effortlessly personal and laid-back. The bride did her own makeup, while both moms took on the flowers and setup, adding a heartfelt touch to every detail. Abby’s veil, lovingly handmade by the groom’s mom, was a true labor of love and the perfect heartfelt keepsake. With just 25 guests, they kept the focus on what mattered most: quality time with their closest family and friends, all wrapped in the relaxed charm of the coast.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony tucked away in the home’s charming courtyard, with the tranquil Folly River as their backdrop. As Abby walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of “Love Me Like You Do” by Ellie Goulding, the scene was set for a day filled with love and connection. Their adorable pup, Callie, stole the spotlight during their first kiss, letting out a joyful howl that had everyone smiling.
After the ceremony, guests gathered on the porch for a lively cocktail hour, soaking in the golden glow of the sunset, before heading to the lawn for a relaxed evening of dinner and dancing. Sage green paired with white was the color palette of choice! Which seamlessly blended with the natural beauty of their chosen location. After cocktails, the newlyweds snuck away for some portraits with their pup before joining their guests for the reception.
The reception took place right at the private waterfront home, allowing them to host an intimate, relaxed gathering with great food, music, and quality time with loved ones. They forewent a traditional first dance in favor of simply mingling with guests and enjoying the evening!
This wedding day was a true reflection of their laid-back yet joyful approach to marriage. By choosing a home in a location that was meaningful to them and focusing on quality time with their nearest and dearest, this couple ensured that their wedding was a celebration to remember!
