Springtime Splendor

Springtime Splendor, a real Charleston wedding of Anna McCutchen & David Shuford

For their nuptials, the then-Atlanta residents chose Charleston, where Columbia native Anna grew up vacationing with her family each summer, then enlisted event designer Luke Wilson of WED to orchestrate the details large and small. When the Big Day came, pastel-hued blooms dressed Lowndes Grove Plantation in springtime splendor. After exchanging vows, Anna and David dined with their family and friends under a tent draped in sheer white fabric, then danced beneath chandeliers hung from oak branches. Anna’s most vivid memory from the night? “How beautiful everything looked watching the sun set over the Ashley River,” she says. “Everything was just perfect.”
