An Elegant Summer Wedding at The Mills House in Charleston, South Carolina

Martha Brown (31 and an interior designer) and Caleb Fleshood (30 and a trainer) lost touch after attending their senior prom together. Ten years late

Martha Brown (31 and an interior designer) and Caleb Fleshood (30 and a trainer) lost touch after attending their senior prom together. Ten years later, the pair ended up at the same lakeside Sunday brunch and quickly reconnected. After a two year engagement, Martha and Caleb exchanged vows during a late summer ceremony at The Mills House in Charleston, South Carolina. The couple planned a destination wedding to bring together their close family and friends in a relaxed, southern atmosphere. Subtle pops of burnt orange added a seasonal feel to their mocha and navy color palette while white draping and bows added a classic feel. Ever since her first visit to Charleston as a child, Martha has always loved calla lilies and incorporated these white flowers throughout her wedding centerpieces. Throughout the planning process, the couple hoped to achieve a "casual yet elegantly sophisticated" feel from a welcome bag greeting guests with classic Charleston goodies to a festive Photo Booth at the reception.

"We decided to have food stations instead of a seated dinner because both of our families are very social and love to dance, chat and party," says Martha. "Having food stations gives guests the flexibility to mingle and eat whenever they wanted to."
For their late summer affair, Martha and Caleb added subtle pops of burnt orange to their mocha and navy color palette.
