Beautiful bride Kate is an interior designer and she knew she wanted a clean, modern vibe for her wedding with a soft color palette. Inspired by her love of bamboo, Lauren of ELM Events designed a beautiful, unique reception space that was anything but ordinary. From the beautiful lounge, to the use of modern ghost chairs + stools, to the amazing hanging plant chandeliers courtesy of Branch Design Studio… it was such a perfect blend of simple, modern + organic design that fit Kate + Mike’s aesthetic and personality to a T!
Kate + Mike’s wedding day started downtown with a sweet First Look, followed by portraits with their beloved French Bulldog, Seamus, and their bridal party. They said “I do!” at a traditional Catholic ceremony at Kate’s grandmother’s church in West Ashley, then headed over to the Rice Mill to celebrate with their closest family + friends. Despite an epic rain storm that blew through the area during their ceremony, it was still such an amazing day filled with smiles + laughter. Enjoy some of my favorites from Kate + Mike’s modern Charleston wedding at the Rice Mill…
