Charleston, South Carolina, holds a timeless charm, providing the perfect setting for couples to craft their fairy tale weddings amidst its cobblestone streets and historic landmarks. Among these, the Gibbes Museum of Art stands as a testament to sophistication and creativity, a perfect setting for a wedding that echoes with the rhythms of artistry and love.

In a celebration as unique as the strokes of a master painter’s brush, we had the honor of capturing the magic of an October wedding at the Gibbes Museum. From the tear-filled first look to the final sparkler exit, every moment resonated with the couple’s vision of intertwining art and romance.

Inspired by the museum’s treasures, the couple wove a tapestry of creativity into every aspect of their special day. Art became not just a backdrop but a guiding muse, infusing the ceremony and reception with a palpable sense of wonder and beauty.

The design echoed the vibrant hues of the Lowcountry palette, with delicate touches of pinks and greens adorning every corner. From the hand-painted cake that resembled a canvas brought to life to the seating chart reminiscent of an art gallery’s collection, every detail radiated with artistic flair.

One of our favorite elements of the day was the choice to use a coffee table art book as their guest book. It was a thoughtful gesture that transformed a traditional ritual into a cherished keepsake, preserving memories in a medium as timeless as the art that surrounded them.

The bridesmaids were given the freedom to choose their own dress styles and shades, resulting in a harmonious ensemble that celebrated individuality while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. The result was a visual symphony of colors and textures that complemented each other beautifully.

The couple exchanged vows amidst the priceless works of art in the Gibbes Museum. Afterwards, with romantic string lights and flickering candles illuminating the garden, they ate, gave toasts, and danced, surrounded by the laughter and love of their cherished family and friends.
