Once & Again

A rustic wedded retreat at The Lake House at Bulow

Once & Again, a real Charleston wedding of Sarah Knowles & Benjamin Creasy

1. Don’t skip wedding insurance. A lot of things are truly out of your control and you will have more peace of mind if you know you’re insured. 

2. Timing is everything. Consider taking photos before the wedding so you can enjoy a little time alone together right after the ceremony. Sarah and Ben had a private table upstairs and away from guests during cocktail hour so they could spend that special time together. 

3. Keep it simple. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. Give yourself less to do. Sarah had open seating for dinner, allowing guests to mingle as they wished. It was less work for the bride and guests enjoyed the freedom.
