24 Oct Claire & Tim {River Course at Kiawah}
We don’t know about you, but we’re still reeling from beauty bliss overload after seeing Claire and Tim’s wedding-warmup celebrations yesterday. But it’s time for one heck of a deep breath because their actual Big Day is bound to blow you away. Claire and Tim inaugurated their marriage with the most beautiful of ceremonies on the pristine grounds of the River Course overlooking the marshes of Kiawah Island. Rows of mahogany church pews were flanked by luscious arrangements of cream hydrangea, roses, and eucalyptus to create an aisle that Claire walked down toward a tearful Tim. Inside the clubhouse, Dallas-based wedding planner Bella Flora lived up to their name by transforming the already stunning space into a wonderland. Velvet linens draped over the banquet tables adorned with countless arrangements of soft cream and blush blooms, candles, and gold-rimmed chargers created an elegance that has us swooning. After cutting into their four-tier, rose-covered Jim Smeal cake, Claire and Tim danced the night away with family and friends to the big band sounds of Buzz & the Blue Cats before exiting through a cloud of bubbles! A big thank you to Claire and Tim for sharing their oh-so-gorgeous weekend with us and another one to Landon Jacob for capturing it so phenomenally well.
