Joe and Lara’s wedding weekend took us to Greenville, South Carolina for a weekend celebration with their loved ones that was full of personalized details and meaningful moments.

The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel in the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains is one of the most breathtaking wedding ceremony venues in the South. The entire Cliffs community offers stunning mountain views and unbelievable sunset backdrops for wedding day portraits. The wedding ceremony was held at the renowned chapel that is perched atop Glassy Mountain. A tented wedding reception at the clubhouse overlooking the golf course was the perfect spot for golf-loving bride and groom, Joe and Lara, to celebrate their union.

Bride, Lara, chose a beautiful strapless ball gown wedding dress by Anne Barge for her classic bridal style. Her bridesmaids wore floral patterned pale blue bridesmaid dresses by Jenny Yoo, perfectly complementing the cream and pastel blue and green color palette of the wedding day.

At the wedding reception, guests were greeted with elegant yet playful golf-themed wedding decor details, an escort card display with monogrammed golf balls, and golf flag-inspired table numbers. Lush greenery and crystal ball chandeliers hung over the dancefloor as a centerpiece of the tented wedding reception. A live band and mobile cigar lounge kept their wedding guests entertained all night before sending the newlyweds off with a lively sparkler exit.

Every moment of Joe and Lara’s fun and elegant wedding weekend in South Carolina was memorable. From their colorful Italy-inspired wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome party and luxurious garden-inspired tented wedding reception, a sparkler exit is always a great way to end a weekend-long celebration.

The Glassy Chapel sits perched atop Glassy Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Greenville, South Carolina, with sweeping mountaintop views that create backdrops unlike any traditional venue. Joe and Lara’s spring wedding there included a ceremony at the chapel followed by a tented reception at the Cliffs clubhouse overlooking the golf course — a combination that gave their photographs both grand mountain scale and intimate club elegance. The entire Cliffs community provides exceptional portrait locations, from the mountain summit to the fairways below.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What makes The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel unique as a wedding ceremony venue?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “The Glassy Chapel is one of the few wedding chapels in the South that sits at a true mountain summit, offering panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views from the ceremony itself. Guests experience the ceremony with that vast landscape as the backdrop, and the light at elevation — especially in spring and fall — creates photographs with a quality that flatland venues simply cannot replicate. The chapel’s architecture is intimate and traditional, which balances beautifully with the grandeur of the natural setting around it.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Can you have both the ceremony and reception at The Cliffs at Glassy?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. The Cliffs at Glassy accommodates a full wedding weekend on property.
