Hey SC Bees! I live in Greenville right now (yay, magnolia!), but just moved here about 6 months ago from Raleigh. I'm getting married in September in Highlands, NC. You'd think planning a mini-destination wedding wouldn't be so hard, but it's taken way more time than I thought! Anyone else out there live in the upstate or plan to get married in the mountains?
I live a mere hour and a half from our wedding city and I must admit, its wearing me out. I'm commuting there for work as well. Its working out bc I can take care of wedding biz during the day. But I am tired. perhaps its wedding planning fatigue setting in. lol.
i'm really at the point where i could just show up....sans the things that have yet to be pulled together....
Ohh, Magnolia, you have to try the Inn at Half Mile Farm next time you're in Highlands (if you haven't already)! That's where we're getting married, and - although I admit to being a little biased - it is fanTAStic! Very romantic and charming, and the owners take very good care of you while you're there. You and your hubby would love it.
Hello SC ladies! We're getting married in October in Charleston and planning it from VA. We moved last year (Navy) but we miss Charleston and use the wedding as an excuse to drive down there all the time! Since there are so many weddings in Charleston, I figure I can't be the only one on weddingbee!
All right so I'm neither engaged nor married, but I do have a boyfriend. Haha. I just love weddings! And I'm from SC myself. Born and raised. I think I was so compelled to do an article about Charleston in the Weddingbee Wiki because I heard that it was ranked #2 in the nation for being a great wedding destination.
I was just married in Charleston March 29, 2008 and all of my wedding dreams came true thanks to Kristin Newman Designs. Kristin and her team went above and beyond the call of wedding planner duty to anticipate our every need, stay a step ahead of me on the to-do list, and incorporate my every idea into the wedding of my dreams.
South Carolina brides, if you don't consider hiring Kristin to make your dreams a reality, you don't know what you will miss! I am more than happy to provide personal testimonials to anyone who would like any additional advice on my venues and vendors, which included:
Goldbug Island (Rehearsal dinner barbeque)
First Baptist Church, Church Street, Charleston (Ceremony)
Like squirrelsgirl and magnolia, I'm from Greenville and I'm planning a November wedding in Greer (The Davenport). I love the sandblasted brick, wood floors, and brass chandeliers. It's such a clean space.
It's so nice to know that there's other "bees" from SC here! I love weddingbee and I tell all my friends (even the ones that could care less about wedding stuff) about it!! Seriously . . . about 87% of my wedding inspiration comes from either the posts here, or some link from the posts here!!
Hey everyone! I live in and I'm getting married in Central, my hometown, in my home church. The church website is currently under construction, and the only picture I can find online was taken at least 70 years ago, found here. It's changed since then - stain glass windows, an addition to the back, and a building nest door, where the reception will be held. We are both in our last semester of college planning a January wedding.
owlsrock and getmarried4less, I started reading weddingbee my freshman year of college, before my FI and I were even dating...
I am from Greenville, but we are actually having our wedding in Amelia Island, FL - we're getting married in same church as my parents, and it's where my Grandparents lived for 35+ years. My fiance and I are also moving to Charleston after the wedding in June because he got a job down there. This is going to be one busy year!
If anyone needs any suggestions on Greenville, I'm happy to help!!
Thanks avdillard0110 for starting a board for us!
i'm curious as to how many Southern bees we have around here.....I can't be the only one! Come out , Come out, wherever you are........
posted by GetMarried4Less 4 months agoOkay, so technically I'm an Atlanta Bee...but I'm from Greenville originally! I would love to know if there are others in/from the area on Weddingbee!

posted by owlsrock 4 months agoI think Charleston should get its own local board, too.
