One Couple's Personalized Fall Wedding in South Carolina

It's not often that a wedding beautifully masters multiple themes, but when one does, it's especially captivating. That was the case for Madeline and Brad's fall celebration. The black-tie event was undeniably formal but didn't shy away from rustic touches, including country motifs. "We would have to describe our wedding as a sophisticated southern affair with the understated elegance of autumn," the bride shares. We would have to agree.

"We wanted to show our friends and family how much they mean to us by having the very best food, drinks, and entertainment along with an atmosphere that was elegant and dreamy at the same time," Madeline explains. Shortly after getting engaged, the couple asked Meagan Warren to help them achieve their vision. Together, they planned a timeless event that centered around nature and tradition. The former inspired their rich color palette; the latter inspired their many meaningful touches.

Madeline and Brad officially tied the knot on November 4, 2017. Despite hosting 125 guests, the event felt surprisingly intimate. That's in part due to their warm, inviting color scheme and their relaxed reception setup. Above all else, though, the personalized details set their wedding apart from the rest. "Our wedding was special because we feel like it really portrayed who we are as a couple," Madeline says.
