Waterfront Romance in the Golden Light at Harborside East

Anna Grace and Grayson’s love story unfolded along the Charleston waterfront at Harborside East, where river views, towering palms, and golden autumn light created a celebration that felt effortlessly romantic and unmistakably Lowcountry. From the ceremony overlooking the water to a lively reception filled with personal touches, the day embraced both timeless elegance and joyful celebration.

​

The ceremony took place on the venue’s manicured lawn overlooking the river beyond. Framed by live oaks and swaying palmettos, the setting captured the natural beauty that defines Charleston in the fall. Anna Grace carried a bouquet of peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, baby's breath, and soft fern accents that complemented the celebration’s romantic aesthetic. As both planner and visual storyteller, Chantilly Lace brought a seamless, cohesive approach to the day, highlighting the beauty of the waterfront setting while preserving the heartfelt moments shared throughout the celebration.

​

Inside Harborside East’s richly appointed reception space, dark wood accents, statement chandeliers, and waterfront views created an inviting backdrop for the evening. Rentals from Charleston Tailgate helped shape the celebration, while Crazy Dutchman Catering carried the evening with a thoughtfully curated dining experience. A sleek three tier cake by Sweet Rhi was topped with a miniature black Labrador, a playful nod to the couple’s beloved dog, whose face also appeared on paddle props that guests enthusiastically waved throughout the evening.

​

Glow sticks, live music, and a packed dance floor kept the celebration going late into the night. Anna Grace’s playful switch from veil to a “From Charleston, With Love” trucker hat perfectly captured the spirit of the evening, while a joyful send off and final kiss brought the celebration to a memorable close.
