By now you've had a chance to check out Katy and Jeff's romantic South Carolina wedding. There were so many amazing touches and it seems that the talented creatives that collaborated on these nuptials left no detail out. I've rounded up a bunch of photos I snapped during our coverage of the wedding. The only thing I don't have a record of? Us constantly quoting Portlandia by saying "put a bird on it," which we couldn't seem to shake from our heads the entire time we were down there.
1 Each save the date used a different page from the Audubon book. Here you can see the range. The girls at Sideshow Press covered every great detail in the stationery and packaging design.
2 The booklet in the welcome box also featured imagery from the Audubon book and a metallic envelope.
3 A close up of the wine in the welcome box. The label read: "Friendship, like wine, improves with time. Join Katy & Jeff on their one year anniversary with a toast to life & love."
4 The wine bottles were wrapped and finished off with a K&J wax seal.
5 The bags the summer sausage came in were silkscreened with the logo of the plantation.
6 A letterpressed wood veneer envelope held tea bags.
7 The wraparound label on the honey was so chic.
8 Each program was letterpressed sheets of wood veneer and had a quail feather tied on the top.
9 Elizabeth Porcher Jones calligraphed all of the envelopes in gold ink.
10 Oh, the flowers! This is one of my favorite color palettes for flowers!

12 The pink on this bloom reminded me of a watercolor painting.
13 Check out this fringed number.
14 Another close up showing the various blooms, including a ranunculus that reminded me of a sunset.
15 A view of the river. This was where the couple stood during the ceremony.
16 The couple cut the cake using a silver knife from Croghan's Jewel Box, in Charleston. It was engraved with the insignia used throughout their stationery suite.
17 Major wind storms and hurricanes threatened the plans of Katy and Jeff's outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. So the couple and their planner, Kristin Newman of Kristin Newman Designs, decided to extend the tent as a rain plan.
18 A collection of brass birds was amassed to decorate the tables and bars.
19 A card outlining the cocktail hour offerings.
20 Wreaths decorated the gates to the venue. Each one sported an initial for the bride and groom and a big, floppy bow. Made entirely of greenery, the only colored accent was pink jasmine.
21 Here you can see all the boutonnieres, which were created by Heather at Gathering Events. Loved the feather accents!
22 And here you can see the Gathering Events "workspace" which was set up on tarps in the dancing tent.
23 Heather adjusts a large arrangement.
24 Cocktail hour menus were displayed in old frames.
25 At the end of the night, as guests boarded the buses back to town, they were given breakfast sandwiches packed in muslin bags. Each was rubber stamped with the type of sandwich inside.
26 The table assignments were calligraphed onto a large chart.
27 The bottom of the poster featured the date and location of the wedding.
28 Even the restrooms were dressed up. Here, one of the prettiest mens' room signs I've ever seen.
29 Carol Hannah made Katy's dress. The soft bouquet really set off the crisp white hue of the gown.
30 A snapshot of the newlyweds!
31 A snapshot of the tent before the ceremony. The afternoon light was so pretty.
32 This is the top of the tent's center. It was created from a chiffon-like fabric in a few different hues. It mimicked the bride's gown and added a softness to the reception.
33 A special friend made an appearance while we were photographing the reception tables before the ceremony.
34 Here you can see the tent with candlelight and the chandeliers above.
35 And then during the reception. Here, Chef Sean Brock gave a little speech about the local cuisine he'd prepared.
36 Amazing golf carts were used to transport guests. We borrowed one to pack up the car at the end of the night. They were the most luxurious golf carts we'd ever come across and we really didn't want to give up driving them!
