Charleston Wedding by Ooh! Events
It’s pretty much a given that we are going to fall in love with anything that Lisa Thomas of Ooh! Events in Charleston sends us. Her weddings are always so completely romantic, so completely Charleston. And this one…oh my. It’s total gorgeousness. It has this really old world, Grace Kelly vibe about it, where tradition meets total style. And although I could easily talk all day about this one, I’ll just let the beautiful pictures by Tracey Turpen speak for themselves.
From Lisa Thomas at Ooh! Events…
Lisa and Jake, Ohio natives, had weathered 5 years of long distance relationship when Jake finally popped the question during a vacation at the Turks and Caicos. Charleston, SC seemed like a perfect place for their families from all over the country to gather to celebrate. They wanted some place close to the city so their guests could truly have a experience Charleston. They quickly decided on Lowndes Grove. Lisa envisioned a classic, intimate event with lots of neutrals to compliment the Plantation in it’s natural form.
In a picture perfect ceremony they said, “I Do” under a live oak tree that was adorned with crystal chandeliers while Ann Caldwell sang classic jazz throughout the ceremony. Lisa and her bridesmaids looked stunning as Lisa choose a vintage glam style. The floral only added to this unique, vintage, elegance with garden roses, snowberries, hydrangeas, and casablanca lilies in vintage milk glass collection from Out Of Hand. Under an array of tents they continued their celebration with an original mix of cuisines as gold drum shades cast a romantic glow into the night and threw a pattern of stars on the ceiling. The legendary Charleston baker, Jim Smeal, created a cake that was a masterpiece that accompanied Out Of Hand’s vintage elegance.
The newlyweds and their guests were kept dancing all evening with the Two 3 Ways band and a DJ later in the night. A group of 50 guests accompanied Lisa and Jake as they kept on dancing the night away at the rooftop of the Market Pavilion Hotel. The next day as they jet set away on their honeymoon, Lisa and Jake knew they’d never forget their wedding experience as anything other than amazing!

I love, love, love the table runner!
me too! i love doilies and milk glass
I am doing all milk glass center pieces and I've been looking for some table runner inspiration and this is perfect!! Please, tell me where or how I can do something similar to this!!
I am in awe! This wedding is so beautiful...I love the table runners, and that CAKE, oh my goodness....wow...Simple and gorgeous...LOVE IT!
SO pretty. The flowers, the tents, the dollies as table runners..."Ooh!" indeed!
I love love love this wedding! Do you know who designed her dress?
LUV the cake. Where is the cake stand from?? Another crazy question but is that cake real??
Wow, 5 years of long distance... That's hardy stuff. Congrats to them on their marriage. The wedding looks beautiful, especially the cake and the buttons on the back the bride's dress.
I love the dark-haired bridesmaid's hair...very relaxed but classy.
I love love love it! The cake is gorgeous, exactly what I am looking for, simple yet elegant.
omg. the table runners.
so i am the bride.... wow- it ws NOT 5 years long distance (yipes!), we have both lived in the carolinas for 3 years +.
Brittany- THe dress is Rivini Mermaid #9. It;s hard to find and runs around 5K. Nitsa's Bridal in Charlotte & Raleigh can order.
Jim Smeal did the cake and is the best there is in all the south. Magnolia's are made of sugar. Every cake flavor of his just melts in your mouth- worth every penny, every piece was eaten in a flash.
Absolutely Gorgeous! Bravo!!!
I love the cener pieces along with the candle holder favors as well! They are gorgeous. You can find something very similiar and elegant candle wedding favors at www.herbridalfavors.com. Great candle favors category.
I love the laced table runners and the flower centerpieces... plus all the bridal flower bouquets look exquisitely beautiful too. All the fine details in this wedding are quite lovely and elegant!
Oh and the pictures are quite fabulous. My favorite photo is the one with the chandelier hanging from the branches with the couple in the background having their wedding ceremony and the sunlight streaking behind the huge tree. Such a great shot! The photo speaks of romance and love being timeless!
Lisa...
Your bridesmaids are gorgeous...and don't look too "bridesmaidsey"! Where are those dresses from? I LOVE them!
Beautiful it is.
The runners were a collection of old vintage dollies I collected and had sewn together....what else to do with all those little guys;)
I also love the Bridesmaid dresses!! Who makes them? :)
So classic, I love it!!
I love everything about this wedding. Cool, Calm, and effortless style
love the bridesmaid dresses too! what shade are they in and where are they from?!?!? :)
Hi ladies, I am almost positive that the bmaid dresses are J.Crew (unless someone is ripping us off! I work for J.Crew in NYC :) ). It's an older style though, which we don't carry anymore. Check out the website for the newer stuff.
Super classy decorations for an outdoor ceremony. This has been great inspiration for some of our brides that needed tips.
gorgeous wedding! i love the white and beige theme. it's one of my favorite color combinations to wear, but i would've never thought to make them my wedding colors.
the bridesmaids dresses can be found here: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/weddingsparties/PRDOVR~11409/99101641697/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~P_saleprice|0~20+17+4294967134~90~~~~~~~/11409.jsp
Silk taffeta strapless sanglé dress.. only large sizes left though :(
I have to say - most perfect cake I had ever seen! Why didn't I think of that! Stunning confection!
What a beautiful wedding! Congratulations!! I love the bridesmaids necklaces!! They are beautiful. Do you mind sharing where they are from?
Yes- bridesmaids dresses are j crew. J crew is the best way to go (my bridesmaids all lived in cities across the country, so I had to make it easy for them. And you know if you pick j crew- the girls can wear their dresses again. These even had pockets. Style is discontinued, but the color should still be available. And their dresses are lightweight (silk tricotine), so everyone stays fresh as a daisy.
My favors were not candles- but a cookbook filled with charleston recipes, printed them through an online printer for quite a savings, and they were a huge hit! Especially for people who have not traveled to charleston before, and fell in love with the city- they had a taste of charleston to take home!
Rosemary,
You are my wedding hero! The centerpieces, runners and all the other details are simply stunning. I just emailed this to my mom with the title "the final PERFECT" touches.
Love it!
Erica
Hi there,
Your wedding is absolutely stunning! I was wondering where the chandeliers seen hanging from the oak tree during the ceremony can be found?
Thanks!
