Lauren and Paul’s wedding at Old Wide Awake in Charleston, South Carolina, was a delightful blend of romance and fun, set against a charming pink garden theme.

Old Wide Awake, located right outside of Charleston, SC, is a historic mansion that has been hosting weddings since 1991. Constructed at the onset of the 19th century, the mansion’s architecture reflects the elegance of that era. The venue has undergone various refurbishments, including extending the upstairs veranda and adding a travertine patio beside the house. The mansion’s Southern charm and elegant architecture provided a picturesque setting for Lauren and Paul’s celebration.

Lauren and Paul exchanged vows in front of the gorgeous house, surrounded by ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss. The blush pink and dusky pink floral arrangements adorned the ceremony space, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere. Lauren’s bouquet featured a mix of peonies and roses, adding a touch of elegance to the setting.

The couple hosted the reception in the courtyard, offering guests a seamless al fresco experience. The team decorated tables with wildflower garden-themed centerpieces, featuring a mix of pink and white flowers complemented by lush greenery. The soft pink linens and ambient lighting enhanced the romantic ambiance of the evening.
