One Fine Day

From Dana Cubbage Weddings: An avenue of live oaks filled with flowing Spanish Moss, a beautiful ivy-covered brick plantation home with a grand porch, colorful gardens filled with flowers, a stunning view of the marsh, and a rustic barnwood dock that sits right on the water. Emily + Ryan couldn’t have chosen a more Southern venue then Boone Hall Plantation for their amazing destination wedding here in Charleston.

A Glamorous Night To Behold

With glamorous touches within the rustic Cotton Dock, like glass chandeliers hanging from the rafters, golden chiavari chairs, flowing light pink linens, antique bottles + vases (brought from Tulsa Oklahoma by the bride’s aunt) filled with colorful flowers, and colorful glass candle holders, the Cotton Dock exuded glamour and romance – just what Emily had envisioned!

Personal & Unique Touches

Emily’s father and his band played all night long and I just loved that!! Such a fun, personal touch! Speaking of personal touches, Emily’s aunt made their stunning wedding cake – I’ve never seen anything like it! It was so detailed + intricate… a true piece of art.

Wed On Canvas was there to create a beautiful live painting of Emily + Ryan’s first dance and I just LOVE working with them!! Ben is so very talented – I could honestly sit there all night and just watch over his shoulder. It’s so cool!!
