Inside RiverOaks’ loggia, guests found hot cocoa, apple cider, and Teil’s prints, which were favors. “I wanted guests to be wowed by the color palette, excited by the festive elements like the band, food, and beverages and relaxed by the tranquil, natural setting,” says the bride of her vision for the day.

The ceremony took place with the property’s carriage house as a backdrop. To complement existing vines on the building, Anne Bowen Dabney of Charleston Stems crafted an arbor-like array of orchid sprays, tulip bundles, and eucalyptus branches, then hung hybrid delphinium and eucalyptus garlands from it. Amaryllis blooms were artfully scattered amid lanterns with celadon green candles. (Image by Natalie Franke Photography)

“I will long remember this incredibly grateful groom who kept thanking me as though he was surprised at how special, smooth, and joyful his own wedding could be,” says planner Marianne Caldwell of the humble couple. (Image by Natalie Franke Photography)
Design-wise, says Marianne, Teil gravitated toward warm and whimsical touches, which the winding dinner table delivered in spades. Nearby, a canvas tent housed the band. (Image by Natalie Franke Photography)
As a nod to the couple’s professions, paintbrushes and golf tees topped the dessert. “We cleaned them thoroughly before sticking them in the cake!” laughs Teil. (Image by Natalie Franke Photography)
