Copper Tone | Leigh Douglas & Randy Warren October 10, 2010 Lowndes Grove Plantation

Given Randy (who met Leigh when both worked in the same restaurant) proposed to his bride-to-be as the sun set over Huntington Beach and that he loves the Baltimore Orioles and she roots for the Auburn Tigers, it’s little surprise the two chose sunset orange and mellow gray for their wedding colors.The atypical palette was in good hands, though, as Leigh, who works with A Charleston Bride, enlisted the women at that venerable wedding studio to give life to her fantasy—a casually elegant soirée.  A mod, copper fabric led the way for a tented riverside setting dressed in pillow-covered ottomans and accented with florals by Katie Bell of Timeless Designs. Add a ceremony including their five-year-old spaniel and local comfort foods by Fish, and “It was fabulous to look around and see all our decisions play out perfectly,” says Leigh.
