Our story

Where it began

We met on a bright Sunday morning among the camellias at the Charleston Botanical Garden, both reaching for the same dog-eared field guide. One question about a rose led to a slow walk that lasted the whole afternoon. Somewhere between the wisteria arbor and the last bend of the path, we knew we'd found the person we wanted to keep walking beside.

Garden Formal

Think soft suiting, flowing dresses, and your favorite garden hues. We'll be outdoors among the blooms before moving inside, so heels that love grass are a kindness to your feet.
