Private Countryside Wedding
Raina and Cody celebrated their wedding day with a vibrant countryside wedding in Kingstree, South Carolina. Raina’s family graciously hosted their daughter’s wedding on their stunning farmland, simultaneously highlighting the small town feel and wide open spaces. Her parents house was the perfect bridal suite for getting ready. Raina’s grandmother’s house was used as a timeless backdrop for the ceremony. When I first toured the property and saw this stunning fountain, we knew we wanted it to be a focal point to the ceremony. To accomplish this, we worked with Fern Floral + Event Design to give this stone fountain a fresh burst of color with show-stopping florals surrounding the base diameter and dripping over each tier. Cocktail hour and the reception was then held in the backyard amongst the peaceful soybean fields.
Vibrant Tented Reception
To create the perfect reception for the large number of guests, we opted for a sizeable tent in the backyard. This was filled with different sized tables, food stations, dance floor, and a large bar with a stunning floral centerpiece. The shades of green created a cohesive look throughout the table settings, tent draping, and florals. Similarly, shades of deep reds and an autumnal yellow were implemented in all the florals and stationary. We love tented weddings without seating charts for a large number of guests to encourage mingling and movement. Raina and Cody got just that as family and friends celebrated all night.
Bold Motifs and Florals
This wedding design reflected Raina’s personality perfectly with bold, vibrant, and Southern elements. The intricate hexagonal motifs can be seen on the patterned tablecloths throughout the reception and stationary. We loved the vibrant floral motif from the beginning when Maddie Laidig Designs created it for the Save the Date. From there we discussed how to incorporate the design into several aspects of the day, big and small. Crisp Event Rentals brought the largest aspect to life with a custom stage back drop for the reception. Then, Bonnie Brunt Cakes printed the design on sugar paper for the custom-made cake. Finally, Maddie curated unique signage and paper goods that were implemented throughout the big day.
A Wedding to Remember
Raina and Cody’s countryside wedding was truly one for the books. What really set this event apart was the small town feel – Southern hospitality at its finest. From the designer, “I could replay Raina and Cody’s wedding day in my head all day every day and never get tired of it. Pure magic to witness these two celebrate their marriage on their Private Property surrounded by all of their family and friends.”
