Some weddings sweep you off your feet with their beauty, and Tara + Nick’s celebration at the William Aiken House in Charleston, South Carolina was one of them. Their day was the perfect combination of romance, sophistication, and heartfelt moments, creating an atmosphere that was both stylish and deeply personal.

A Fairytale Gown from Ivory & Beau

Tara absolutely glowed in her gown from Ivory & Beau. Featuring delicate lace detailing and a flowing skirt, her dress was timeless while still feeling modern and fresh. The addition of a soft veil completed her look with a touch of bridal magic. It was the kind of gown that not only photographs beautifully but also moves with grace and ease—perfect for a Charleston wedding day filled with love and joy.

Celebrating Love in a Personal Way

With only their closest friends and family gathered, Tara + Nick’s wedding felt warm, inviting, and personal. Smaller celebrations allow every smile, every laugh, and every joyful tear to shine. From sharing quiet moments under the grand windows to laughing with bridesmaids on the balcony, this was a wedding where love took center stage without distraction.

Southern Charm Meets Sophistication

The William Aiken House, with its bold architecture, historic details, and enchanting gardens, created a backdrop that elevated every detail. We at Ivory & Beau were honored to provide the planning, floral design, and Tara’s dream gown—bringing together the elements of design that made this day so effortlessly polished. Romantic blooms in shades of soft whites and blues paired beautifully with the golden light of Charleston, creating a scene that was as timeless as it was chic.

A Sweet and Memorable Cake Moment

Perhaps one of the most touching details was Tara + Nick’s cake cutting. Rather than a towering display, the couple opted for a single classic cake, shared in the most authentic way—sitting together on the wooden floors, laughing and feeding each other. It was the perfect reminder that weddings don’t have to follow tradition to be meaningful. Sometimes, the most memorable moments are the simplest ones.

Why We Adore Romantic and Refined Weddings

At Ivory & Beau, we believe the most unforgettable celebrations happen when style and sentiment come together. Tara + Nick’s day showcased how a refined, heartfelt wedding can feel both luxurious and deeply personal.
