Carly & Ryan

Within the Gaillard Center's Beaux-Arts grandeur, Carly and Ryan's April wedding artfully merged classic Charleston elegance with modern sophistication. Classic Planning & Design Co. wove magic throughout the historic venue, where Coastal Creations crafted ethereal arrangements of white orchids, blush roses, and ranunculus that adorned both the bridal bouquet and towering reception centerpieces. EventWorks' bentwood chairs and sage floral linens complemented the soft blue walls, while LIT Charleston enhanced the ballroom's architectural details.

Inside the ballroom, fresh spring salads with local ingredients graced each place setting, and the Gaillard's culinary team elevated Lowcountry cuisine with innovative presentations like their signature Charleston Red Rice Balls. Lowcountry Pianist & Company set an elegant mood during cocktail hour before The Midnight City took over, energizing the reception with their dynamic performance.

Franzi Annika Photography captured every refined detail, from the limestone façade to intimate moments beneath warm candlelight, while Purpose Under Palms memorialized the celebration through live artistic interpretation. The sophisticated blend of historic architecture and thoughtful Charleston touches created an unforgettable evening that honored both tradition and personal style.
