Birds of a Feather | Holly Young & Tony Martin August 28, 2010, Legare Waring House

Holly Young and Tony Martin shared an adventurous one-year courtship visiting international cities like Paris and New Orleans. But when it came to their nuptials, the Savannah, Georgia, residents aimed closer to home and more down to earth. They booked the park-like Legare Waring House, took inspiration from the peacocks that have roamed Lowcountry plantations for centuries, and asked Sha Sha Harnik of Distinctive Events to fashion a day around the two. “Holly has a penchant for all things natural,” says Sha Sha, who accented the altar with indigenous foliage, and made birch bark centerpieces. “The final product was beautiful,” says Holly, “it literally took my breath away.”
