Katie Reynolds (26 and a physical therapist) and Drew Howard (26 and a project manager) met during their last year of college. After many years of long distance, Drew proposed on their anniversary and the wedding planning quickly began! Katie remembered a beautiful beach resort she stayed at during a family vacation, which fit the bill for their destination waterfront wedding. The couple exchanged vows during an intimate beachfront ceremony at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina, followed by a charcoal and canary yellow indoor celebration. "We didn't need to use a lot of decorations because the venue and the colors from the sunset were breathtaking," says Katie. "The few decorations we had were put together by my mother and her friends!" Yellow rose and Billy ball arrangements accented the Lowcountry themed celebration and a buffet dinner lent a welcoming vibe. "Our priority was for everyone to have fun," says Katie. "We're a pretty laid back couple and we wanted that to be reflected inrnour wedding with a casual yet classy tone to our party at the Harbor."

Drew wore a tan linen suit from Jos A Bank accented with a yellow Billy ball boutonniere.
