Classic Southern Black Tie Wedding In South Carolina

Welcome to the epitome of Southern elegance and tradition. Sterling and Katie B’s classic Southern wedding in South Carolina was full of charm, personalized details, and the timeless allure that makes for a quintessential Southern wedding in the Palmetto State. The amazing fashion and bridal style of the bride was a highlight of the day with three different curated bridal looks meticulously put together for each portion of the wedding day. 

After a traditional wedding ceremony at a historic South Carolina church, wedding guests traveled to a private residence for an outdoor cocktail hour and tented wedding reception complete with a black and white checkerboard dance floor. A dusty blue and white color palette with touches of gold set the tone for a classic black tie Southern tented wedding with a boat get-away under a fireworks display at the end of the night.
