Vintage garden wedding at Davis Island Garden Club

charleston wedding photographers

I will never forget Liz & Geno because their first consultation with us is the reason we decided to specialize in historic site and outdoor weddings. When Liz spoke about her vintage themed wedding at the Davis Island Garden club, I got just as excited as she did! Chandeliers in the trees, vintage decor, glitter, a re-upholstered victorian couch…yeah. All of that is right up my alley! I couldn’t wait for their big day.

It was just a bonus becoming friends with them in the process(-: They are so deeply in love with each other and you can instantly tell. Their wedding day brought their families together for the first time and they were happy to spend it with their closest loved ones. Liz’s father built them a custom whisky bar and adorned it with 3 flags: The British flag, for Liz’s heritage, the Cuban flag for Geno’s heritage, and of course, the good ol’ ‘Murican flag (-;

They loved the welcoming arch of greenery at the Davis Island Garden club that takes you down the path into the garden and the white gazebo with the water glistening behind it. It had all the aspects they were looking for- light and airy , natural garden, romantic and whimsical! 

We asked Liz a few questions about her day!

What is your favorite memory from your wedding?
 Our first dance, it was so special to actually dance to the song that has meant so much to us for so long that we only could imagine the day we would actual dance to it with all of our family and friends surrounding us. 
What were some of the personal touches that made your wedding about you as a couple?
 Our sign in table was travel themed! Geno and I love to travel and we went to Europe for our honeymoon so it was something that we loved and wanted to
incorporate into our wedding. It included a vintage suitcase for the cards, a vintage globe & postcards of around the world for our guests to sign and place into a pretty pink & gold mailbox :)
What made your day special and unique?
 I think the fact that we made most of our decor and used special vintage pieces! Especially our whiskey bar made from reclaimed wood that my dad built us especially for the wedding, it was a huge hit and definitely made it unique!
