A Celebration of Love and Lowcountry Beauty at Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Whitney and Cole celebrated their wedding in early May at the breathtaking Kiawah Island Golf Resort, where sweeping ocean views and lush green landscapes created a quintessential Lowcountry backdrop. Guided by Engaging Events, the day unfolded with thoughtful planning and floral artistry, blending coastal elegance with timeless romance. Leigh Hayward Photography portrayed the celebration with refined imagery, while Lauren Elise Hairstyling & Makeup Artistry completed Whitney’s radiant bridal look.

The ceremony took place on an immaculately manicured lawn overlooking the Atlantic, where two grand arrangements of white hydrangeas, roses, and eucalyptus framed the vows. Whitney carried a bouquet of white roses accented with greenery, its handle adorned with a vintage photograph that kept a loved one close. Bridesmaids in sage gowns held dainty bouquets of baby’s breath, their simplicity balancing the lush surroundings. Later in the afternoon, the couple enjoyed a lighthearted round of golf before strolling hand in hand through the golden hour, the course bathed in warm coastal light.

​

The reception carried an air of understated elegance, with a long table draped in white linen, gold chairs gleaming in the candlelight, and a magnificent chandelier casting a warm glow. Engaging Events designed delicate centerpieces of white florals and greenery that elevated the serene setting. Kiawah Island Golf Resort delighted guests with a menu that showcased coastal flavors, followed by a whimsical dessert display featuring cake pops arranged on a green “putting green.” A simple tiered cake adorned with white blooms stood as the evening’s sweetest symbol.

Whitney and Cole’s celebration was a graceful union of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and heartfelt joy—an unforgettable Kiawah Island wedding that embodied the romance of the coast.
