Emily & Chris’s Legare Waring House Wedding in Charleston

Emily & Chris hosted a gorgeous colorful wedding at Legare Waring House to celebrate the end of Spring! They wanted the whole day to represent them and the ceremony & reception was a blend of their religions…and not religions. Emily was brought up Jewish so the day before they signed the ketubah and during the ceremony they stood under a chuppah & her aunt sang a beautiful Israeli song and they also did the horah after the first dance. Chris is non-practicing but they celebrated with ‘the salt and the bread’ with help from his uncle.

Emily & Chris said that as soon as they started the drive into Legare, they were captivated by the Magnolia trees and wrought iron gates. Once they walked over to the Leagre Waring House they instantly knew this was “the place”. They had wanted a romantic outside venue and nothing screamed romance more than Legare! They swooned over the Avenue of Oak Trees with the Spanish Moss accompanied by a historic home in the background.

The morning of my wedding I felt so excited to marry the man of my dreams. He was running around with his parents bringing items to and from Legare and all I could think about was how special I was… and of course I was running through a few logistics in my mind. I felt a bit woozy by noon, but eating and breathing certainly helped.

The most memorable moments of the day were the moments I had alone with Chris, when it was just me and him. I think about our first drink as a married couple by the marsh taking pictures right after saying I do and how happy we were in that moment.

My favorite detail of the day is our tables. Chris and I spent awhile picking out the tables, chairs, gold silverware, special water goblets, pink plates, and colorful flowers. We loved how they turned out and it was special that we decided on these details together.

We splurged on our band, Hudson Horns, and I couldn’t have been happier with that decision. We also splurged a bit on Salt House Catering and I wish I could have their food EVERY night. We saved some money with Fresh by Framptons Flowers by having less flowers but with large pops of colors! We used some of the flowers from the ceremony and reusing the bridesmaid bouquets at our dinner tables. We also saved money by opting for delicious desserts from Sugar Bakeshop instead of a traditional tiered wedding cake. The desserts were a huge hit. Lastly, my bridesmaids wore beautiful long blue dresses by Lulus which were $70!

I was able to borrow my sister’s gorgeous hair pins that she wore when she got married as my “something borrowed” and my mom surprised me with a family garter heirloom. It was special to get to wear these pieces from my family. Additionally, we incorporated many Jewish and Polish customs into our wedding including “circling”, the Horah, 7 Blessings, and the “salt and the bread” blessing. My aunt who is a Chorale Director also sang a beautiful Hebrew Song with our band and I’ll never forget these little moments. We included many family and friends in our wedding while also making it not overly religious and this meant so much to us and 90 year old + grandmothers, Gummy and Oma.

Do what makes you happy! I had family tell us that we were crazy to spend a lot on a band and that no one would notice the wine and beer that we picked from Total Wine. We noticed, and it made our day so much more special.

Do walk away from it all with your new husband and take everything in for just a minute during your wedding. I didn’t do this and I really regret it. Other than that, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I got to marry the perfect person at my dream come true wedding!
