I’m thrilled to be sharing a US wedding today – a significant portion of our readers are in the United States, and so it’s a joy to share the beautiful South Carolina wedding of Charlotte and Tyler with you.
Their sweet and laid back summer wedding took place in the Lowcountry, a region along the South Carolina coast known for its rich biodiversity, picturesque salt marshes, and coastal waterways. The celebration was held in Charleston, at the very place where Charlotte and Tyler work together.
From the moment I saw the photographs, I fell in love with them. The entire day radiated a sweet, gentle energy, and there was a magical sense of laid-back elegance. Charlotte, an artist and painter, drew inspiration from the concept of a whimsical springtime fairytale. She aimed to incorporate natural and organic design elements throughout the day, and the result was a celebration brimming with effortless warmth and charm.
A heartfelt thank you to Maggie Dunn for sharing her delightful photography with us. Enjoy!

Bridal Beauty & Accessories
I was so happy with my hair and make-up! The ladies at Pampered & Pretty really created the look I was hoping for and everything lasted throughout the night even through the humidity, sweat, and tears.
My earrings were from BHLDN and I wore “I Do” by Anthropologie as my scent. I was not planning on having a special perfume for my wedding, but couldn’t resist this one! My shoes were by Bella Belle.

Photography
Maggie Dunn Photography – I discovered Maggie through instagram and after connecting with her, I knew almost immediately that she’d be the one! She was so helpful, organised, and was a delight to work with. She really put me at ease and I felt like I had known her my whole life.
Our photos were so much more than what I had imagined. Your wedding day goes by so fast and when it is all over, the photos are such a treasure to keep the memories alive. I feel so grateful for Maggie and the work she did on our big day. I can’t recommend her enough.
While our guests were enjoying cocktail hour after the ceremony, we walked a couple of blocks from Post House to the water for photos. I loved having a quiet moment just the two of us to soak in the start of our marriage.
How They Met
We met working together at a restaurant in Asheville, NC in 2017. We connected immediately. In the summer of 2021, we visited Maymont while on vacation in Richmond, VA. It was a beautiful day. We spent the morning exploring the gardens. After meandering around through crowds of people, we eventually found ourselves walking alone on a quiet path leading up to the Maymont house.
We saw a doe and followed her up the hill towards the house. We walked into a gazebo and had this magical moment together watching this deer.
When I turned around, I found Tyler down on one knee. I was totally surprised! It was such a special and surreal moment that I know we’ll both remember forever.
Tyler wore a grey suit with brown oxfords, a white button down, and a floral tie. Tyler knew he wanted something lightweight, as well. We aren’t super formal or traditional, so he wanted a light grey suit.
It was very classic and fit him perfectly. The suit was custom made and he had a great experience with the folks who created it for him.
Words of Wedded Wisdom
Try not to stress about the little things! Remember that some things won’t go as planned, and that’s okay.
