Jackie’s paper goods—like leather save-the-date cards, koozies, fans, and table assignments—had a tea-stained feel and bore logos the graphic designer created herself.
MODERN CLASSIC: Jackie, a graphic designer with her own company—42.pressed.com—created her own stationery suite including leather save-the-date cards, and monogrammed place cards and table assignments, among other elements. Photo by Jackie Hall Robinson.
The Charleston Tea Plantation’s trolley carried the bridal party to the wedding site by the old oak tree that Jackie and her sister, Jamie, loved to climb as children.
Jackie grew up on the Charleston Tea Plantation, so it made sense for her to ham it up a little with new husband Tyler in the fields of her former playground.
CASUAL ELEGANCE: Jackie and Tyler are outdoorsy and wanted their wedding to reflect that. So Jackie’s sister Jamie, an interior designer by trade, opted to use burlap for tablecloths, grasses, greens, and branches in centerpieces made by Out of Hand, and chunky silver goblets with the place settings.
Jackie branded her wedding with horse-inspired elements, from her and Tyler’s logo to the butler cards that hung from potted tea plants and lead guests to their seats. Each table was named for a different breed of horse.
LIGHT BRIGHT: Branch, twig, and vine-made chandeliers added a touch of woodland magic to the night.
TWIRL YOUR PARTNER: After a seated dinner, the couple led the way to the dance floor amid cheers from guests who later lounged on benches covered in monogrammed burlap pillows.
SWEET THOUGHT: For dessert, Sugar Bakery created a small, classic strawberry-filled confection for the bride and groom; guests nibbled on sweets from Cupcake.
