31 Jan Melissa & Kevin {Private Residence}
A Charleston Bride is known for creating stunning weddings loaded with luxe details and copious blooms—events that regularly find their way to the pages of Southern Weddings and on Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Ruffled, Brides, Elizabeth Anne Designs, and more. But when owner Melissa Barton wed her Southern sweetie, Kevin Williams, the two went under the radar for their private Big Day and country casual for their public celebration. Indeed, the pair put the “country” in Lowcountry for this refined rustic affair: Melissa used hay bales for seating, barrels as décor for a bourbon-tasting station (which was a surprise for her hubby!), and even had a skeet shoot in her parents’ backyard at her childhood home on Yonges Island. All came together to form the sort of celebration Melissa says would be perfect for anyone’s rehearsal dinner, second marriage, or anniversary. To cap off the festivities, the duo hosted an oyster roast catered by Jim n’ Nick’s complete with yummy banana pudding served up in Mason jars—leaving both hearts and bellies full. Congratulations, you two, on tying the knot in serious Southern style!
