31 Oct Bliss & Bokeh {William Aiken House}
On the heels of Charleston Weddings’ assistant editor Molly Ramsey’s birthday, we wanted to share a little gift starring her and her new husband, Will, with all of you. It’s allllll treat and no tricks, for sure, and came about as an inspiration shoot we did with the Bliss & Bokeh luxury wedding photographer retreat here. We were supremely fortunate to pair with photographer phenom Elisa Bricker, who coaxed B&B attendees through snapping shots of Molly and Will (about two weeks after their real wedding) at the always stunning William Aiken House. Since the Ramseys traded vows in their hometown of Lynchburg (yep, they are high school sweethearts), Virginia, this was their big chance to get a few Charleston images for posterity. And because the afternoon was for all for play, Heather Barrie of Gathering Floral + Event Design went with a host of swoon-worthy scenarios in a palette that she doesn’t often get to dabble in—vibrant orange and verdant green. With calamondin branches clipped that morning from the yard of Charleston garden editor Joan MacDonald and sweets conjured up by pastry chef Jessica Grossman of Fish Restaurant (exclusive caterers for the site) the sum total equaled delightful. Enjoy, enjoy, and Happy Wedding and Happy Birthday to our dear Molly!
p.s. We heard that when a real-life bride of Jessica’s saw the “naked cake” on social media, she changed her order from a traditional wedding cake to this one. Let’s hear it for trying something new!
