So Christin and Strait live in the middle of nowhere (well, sort of). They have about a million acres of land. At least it seemed that way. Their wedding was very special. They celebrated at home with a ton of family and friends. They worked very hard to make everything so pretty. Family and friends helped and worked tirelessly leading up to this event. This is what i love about weddings in the country- people coming together. This DIY wedding was just so wonderful and the people are just so gracious. i’ll forever be grateful and i’ll never forget my time with these fine folks.
i love Lauren and Tim. I truly enjoyed working with them. They are good people. I wish we weren’t all so busy. I wish we hung out more.
anyhoo, Sara Hosch of Southern Protocol did a fabulous job planning this wedding, teamed with Whitney Randall of Branch Designs.
We would love to see this on print magazine…

It was only natural for Lauren and Tim to have an elegantly rustic-nautical feel to their wedding; the couple, both born and raised Charlestonians, met at Salty Mikes with a Lowcountry water view, enjoyed time on the boat when dating, and headed straight back to Salty Mikes after getting engaged a few years later on the dock at Charleston Harbor. Less than a year after the engagement, they tied the knot right on the marsh under a gorgeous driftwood chuppah, with the most picturesque sunset as a backdrop. More than anything the couple wanted the day to be a memorable party with the ones they loved most, both present and in spirit.
From the very beginning, Lauren was drawn to shades of blue and ivory, wanting clean lines and fun textures that enhanced the natural beauty of Lowndes Gove… while Tim just wanted to make sure all the seafood was local! Add in touches of burlap, gorgeous flowers from Branch Design Studio, and some amazingly unique rope-and-iron chandeliers, and it was a perfect nod to the sea-loving couple. Bulb lights twinkled romantically above comfy lounge, and thick rope spiraled its way around hurricane candles to give everyone a soft glow. Under the tent, farm tables added in just the right amount of roughness, complemented with a very feminine crinkle taffeta linen. The photo booth, sunglasses for the late night dance crew, and a brightly colored candy bar (with a range of vintage and new candy hand selected by the bride) all contributed to the festive atmosphere!
Then, as if the night weren’t picture-perfect enough, the bride and groom made the very first boat exit on the new dock – complete with champagne for toasting to the great life ahead!

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
