04 Dec Caroline & Abe {Hibernian Hall}

By Andraya Northrup | December 04, 2015

Finally it’s jacket weather! Given that, we’re tying up this first week of December with a true Charleston wedding featuring everything from historic venues, French inspiration, DIY details, and even a “second line” parade led by a bride in a moto jacket. Here’s the scoop: Caroline and Abe were introduced by mutual friends during a night on the town here about five years ago. After Abe surprised Caroline with a proposal via a house full of balloons and a diamond ring, the wedding planning began. Since Caroline was born and raised in Charleston, choosing the French Huguenot Church and Hibernian Hall for their wedding day locales came easily. And on the Big Day, Photographers Sean Money + Elizabeth Fay captured every stage of the fun-loving couple’s fete, from the first look where Caroline surprised Abe by donning a red clown nose to the ring bearer who made his way down the aisle in a Batman costume. (Clearly this is not a wallflower or everyday bride and groom!) Once the Caroline and Abe had been named husband and wife, the entire bridal party and guests spilled out on Church Street and followed a brass band to nearby Hibernian Hall, where elegant greens draped the ballroom that glowed with candlelight. A delicious dinner by Lowcountry Eats followed, after which, fittingly, a croquembouche (French wedding cake) from Christophe Artisan Chocolatier continued the evening on a sweet note. Once Caroline had changed out of her stunning peplum Romona Keveza gown (and moto jacket) and into a flirty Hayley Paige shortie, the party kicked up a notch before ending in a bubble exit. Cheers to the happy couple, and may your singular and light-hearted ways fill your marriage with joy!
