Love It!

FADE TO GLORY: Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal replicated lace from the bride’s Modern Trousseau gown on the blue and ivory ombré cake.

TIE ONE ON: Dupioni silk ribbon marked his-and-her chairs.

SUBTLE ACCENT: Ribbon also tied programs by Lettered Olive.

AL FRESCO: Low, rose-laden centerpieces by Stems meandered across the dining tables and between hurricane lanterns.

A WALK TO REMEMBER: The Lowndes Grove Plantation dock makes for stellar portraits.
