Where to Wednesday: Wedding Edition!

There's a reason so many brides and grooms flock to Charleston to celebrate their big day. The ambiance of the Lowcountry is electric. It's romantic, it's old and new all at once, it's indescribably beautiful.

There's a perfect wedding to be had here, no matter what your vision is.

How can we help? Let us count the ways.

Use Island Realty homes as the recommended accommodations for your guests. They need somewhere to stay while they're here; a beach house is much easier to customize to fit a family or group of people than a standard hotel room. Encourage your guests to turn the wedding into a vacation! After all, you want everyone at your wedding to be in the best possible mood before they get on the dance floor, don't you? A beach stay is just the ticket.

Use an Island Realty home as your getting ready location on the big day. There are so many beautiful venues in Charleston to choose from, from historic plantations to churches—we aren't called the Holy City for nothing—to harbor cruise ships. While they're all perfect for a ceremony or reception, sometimes these venues don't offer good space for getting ready for the day. Getting ready in a small hotel room is cramped for a whole bridal party, and who wants to shuttle back and forth between salons all day? Cue Island Realty. Get ready with your whole bridal party at one of our beautiful beach homes. Not only will your party thank you for the plethora of mirror space, access to a kitchen (remember to eat!), and incredible views, your photographer will also rejoice. The open space, natural light, and unique surroundings make these homes a joy for a photographer.

Take a look at some of our favorite photos from a recent Island Realty bride, Valerie. She and her bridal party got ready at one Palm Court home, while her groom and his groomsmen spent the morning next door. There was plenty of space for family members to stop by to see the process. The photographer was able to capture the beauty of the day effortlessly.

 

 

Use an Island Realty home as your honeymoon getaway. Whether you plan on the honeymoon starting as soon as the wedding is over, or you're going back to 'real life' and taking a delayed honeymoon, an Island Realty vacation is always a good idea. You'll get to experience the romance of Charleston, the beauty of the beach on Isle of Palms, and the relaxation that comes from having a calm, clean house to call home for the week.

We recently stopped by ABC's Lowcountry Live morning show to talk about how you can best take advantage of our beautiful properties for your wedding. Take a look! Have questions? Ready to make some wedding arrangements? Call Taylor in our vacation planning department today at 877-496-1851!
