Romance and Refinement at Middleton Place Events

In the heart of Charleston, South Carolina, Anna and Chris celebrated their wedding on a breathtaking autumn day at the historic Middleton Place.  Franzi Annika Photography’s editorial eye brought the day to life, capturing every detail with an artful balance of sophistication and warmth.

The bride’s flowing blonde tresses and luminous pearl-adorned gown created perfect harmony with her bridesmaids’ sage and olive silk gowns, each adorned with delicate floral motifs and paired with cloud-like baby’s breath bouquets designed by MOD Events, who also thoughtfully planned every detail of the day.

​

Classic chairs formed intimate rows along manicured pathways bordered by vibrant seasonal blooms, while towering ferns and sculpted boxwood hedges framed the sacred space. Dappled sunlight filtered through the moss-laden branches, casting a golden glow over the couple’s romantic first kiss as husband and wife.

​

As twilight descended, the celebration seamlessly transitioned into an enchanting culinary soirée beneath Middleton Place’s contemporary pavilion. Guests delighted in artisanal hors d’oeuvres paired with freshly shucked oysters from Oyster XO, a highlight of the evening that brought a touch of coastal indulgence. The reception unfolded with understated sophistication, featuring sage-hued linens, gleaming gold Chiavari chairs, and clusters of ivory pillar candles that glowed against crystalline glassware. Dynamic lighting bathed the wood-paneled ceiling in jewel-toned hues while the high-energy sounds of Steel Toe Stiletto filled the air, blending refined coastal elegance with spirited festivity.

​

The evening culminated in pure enchantment as Anna and Chris made their grand departure beneath a constellation of twinkling sparklers held aloft by their beloved guests. One final kiss in the glow of the sparkler tunnel created a breathtaking finale that perfectly encapsulated the romance and sophistication of their Middleton Place celebration—a luminous send-off into their new life together.
