Real Cherokee Cottage Wedding :: Tara and Tom on Jekyll Island

St Simons & Jekyll Island Weddings

Tara and Tom wed in Jekyll Island with on of our all inclusive wedding packages and partied with an intimate group of family and friends at a wedding reception at the Jekyll Island Club’s Cherokee Cottage. Their wedding was so much fun– full of life, laughter and memories. After exchanging vows under the oaks and Spanish moss, guests walked along the Historic District of Jekyll Island to enjoy cocktails and infused waters with delectable hors d’oeuvres.

Tara selected beautiful details that reflected the natural beauty of the area– a palette of ivory and celadon, with various wood textures mixed in. The open air reception on Cherokee Cottage’s lawn allowed guests to dine intimately at farm tables and dance under chandelier laden oak trees. One of our favorite details and moments of the day was a very special bottle wine– Tara’s late father had presented bottles of wine to her brothers on their wedding days and saved a special one for his little girl.

Many couples come here each season to exchange “I Do’s” with their feet in the sand, in a historic cottage, beachside villa or one of our other beautiful locations. Destination weddings take a lot of work and planning. Google and Pinterest are your friends, but even the vast results of wedding reception venues, wedding photographers and more– it can be overwhelming. If you aren’t from the area, planning can appear to be daunting and even intimidating if you don’t know where to start. Our Saint Simons Island wedding infographic is a great place to start at a glance, but chances are you are looking for a bit more information if you are considering a trip to the area for your wedding. We’ve prepared a mini e-book that should help answer major questions about where to start, who to hire and finding out which island is best for you. It’s a quick read and will get you prepared for some big decisions you’ll have to make.

Lovely Lane Chapel Wedding :: Katie & Will

I just realized that I had never shared the beautiful pictures from Katie and Will’s Saint Simons Wedding at Lovely Lane Chapel. This was my first wedding with the ever amazing Savannah wedding photographer Michael Edde from Beacon Photo o. Mike is such an awesome photographer– you can just tell how comfortable his brides are with him from their wedding pictures. I love him because he is my partner-in-crime for the reception, singing songs as we pass each other in between events in the timeline. He finds some of the most unique places to take the most romantic shots. If you can’t tell, I’m a total fan.

I had so much fun at Katie and Will’s wedding, which was a true reflection of the fun time I had planning with Katie and her mom, Francie. Together we planned a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at the Heritage Center. One of my all time favorite things was Katie’s beautiful dress, which was the inspiration for Katie’s seven tier wedding cake.

Another highlight of the day that I know Katie’s mom and I waited for with baited breath: finally viewing Katie’s beautiful veil and the hands ceremony. There was not a dry in the house during this intimately touching exchange between the two of them. Mike caught every image so beautifully!

Saint Simons Island weddings are a staple to our beautiful area. Couples come from all around the country to plan their bare feet in the sand for a beach wedding or in the historic squares and gardens. There are many gorgeous places that represent our beautiful coastal area very well– from sandy beaches to open parks. Which Saint Simons wedding venue is right for you? It’s just a matter of which reflect your personality!

Our parks feature the beautiful Spanish Moss that everyone loves on the trees, and are often times very close to the piers to allow you beautiful post-elopement photo ops. Many people fall in love with the beaches, and best of all they are free! What’s most important is that you consider the tide levels for when you would like to have your wedding ceremony. Consult the tide charts and take into account the weather, which can greatly affect the tides. Also keep in mind that since the beaches are free, there is no way to reserve a space for your wedding. If you have elaborate décor, be sure that your wedding coordinator has a plan ahead of time to enact setup.

Jekyll Island Wedding: Anna & Jamie

St Simons & Jekyll Island Weddings

Planning Anna and Jamie’s Jekyll Island wedding was amazing. We worked closely with Anna and her mom to create some that was truly reflective of the couple: relaxed, casual and fun. One of the most important things to Anna’s family was the inclusion of her grandparents beautiful antiques and custom pieces. With a backdrop of the gorgeous Villa Ospo as a wedding venue, everything tied very well together.
