Alyssa + Conor’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was absolutely amazing. I knew that Alyssa + her mother had put a lot of thought and effort into the design and logistics of the day, but when I saw it all come to life it was better than I ever could’ve imagined. Luckily, Tropical Storm Bonnie moved out of the area earlier that morning and it actually didn’t rain at all once things got going. Alyssa + Conor shared a beautiful First Look in Flowerdale garden, followed by some portraits together before meeting up with their bridal party. Guests started to arrive and excitement started to build… before we knew it, Alyssa + Conor were saying their vows to each other under an amazing huppah that was covered in flowers and featured her grandfather’s tallit draped overhead. This was an extremely special element of the day, as this specific tallit was smuggled out of Austria as her grandfather escaped the Nazis and it was also used when Alyssa + her brother were bar and bat mitzvahed. So sweet.
One of my favorite details from the day came in the form of dessert. Not only did they have beautiful hand-painted macaroons customized with their initials + their wedding parties names… but they also had cookies made in the image of their 3 beloved cats! SO CUTE!!!
Following cocktail hour, Alyssa + Conor shared their First Dance in front of the main house at Magnolia Plantation as their guests held sparklers around them. I LOVED this unique idea to incorporate sparklers earlier in the day! Guests enjoyed delicious southern fare before the party really got started with the Hora! I love this fun tradition because it really gets everyone out on the dance floor. All in all, it was a spectacular day and I couldn’t be more excited for Alyssa + Conor. Here are some of my favorites from their beautiful wedding at the Veranda at Magnolia Plantation…

2025 got off to the very best start with Maggie + Britt! I absolutely ADORE these two and their wedding day was the perfect way to start the new year. Their shared love of the water and all of the natural beauty that the Lowcountry has to offer made the Regatta Inn a no-brainer choice […]
Payton + Connor’s rainy celebration at Lowndes Grove was the PERFECT way to close out the 2024 wedding season.
