We’re wrapping up the end of the year with a round-up of our most epic weddings of the year! This wedding season was one of our busiest yet, with many weddings getting rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were so grateful to help create stunning designs with the help of other amazing wedding vendors, no matter the size, shape, or circumstance of your big day. Keep reading to see five of our favorite weddings from venues across Charleston!

Starting off the list with one of the first weddings of the year at Lowndes Grove! For this beautiful winter wonderland-inspired design, we hung an abundance of our Twinkle Lights in a canopy from the top of the clear top tent and along the side of the tent for a waterfall effect! The glow of the Twinkle Lights added a touch of warmth to this cool-toned design! For additional light above the dance floor, we hung a couple strands of our Café Lights to create a romantic ambiance. Last but not least, we created a stunning lighting design that incorporated a gorgeous old oak tree by hanging our Branch Fairy lights from the limbs for a jaw-dropping look as night set in!

We couldn’t leave this extraordinary tropical-inspired wedding off our list! We designed a custom 10-foot rig to hold an array of fan palm leaves from the amazing florist, Blossom Bay Design. The rig was also adorned with a staggered pattern of our Edison Lights for added warmth and decor above the dance floor. Our Darby Chandeliers were hung in combination with more greenery across the tent for a touch of modern elegance to complete the look.

This dreamy design was another one of our favorites that involved so much teamwork! We can’t take our eyes off the stunning hanging tulip statement piece. We collaborated with the florist, Petaloso, to help hang over two-thousand tulips for a jaw-dropping head table installation. Throughout the inside of the tent, we hung a unique pattern of our Café Lights to accentuate the floral design and bring a touch of warmth. Lastly, we designed a custom pergola adorned with lush greenery and a canopy of our Fairy Lights to create a magical entrance to the reception tent! This wedding was rescheduled twice due to COVID-19, so it was even more special that every detail of the design came together perfectly!

We had to feature one of our most fun and unique wedding reception designs! This couple wanted a party atmosphere for their reception, and they definitely got one! We hung an array of our Mirror Balls across the tent to create a groovy dance floor. We love the way they look in combination with the iridescent drape hung by Loluma Events to line the frame of the tent. To complete the look, we placed our multiple-colored Up Lights around the tent to create the purple and amber-toned lighting the couple wanted for a unique and personalized touch!

The last wedding on our list is this stunning design full of many colors, textures, and details! We hung both our rattan-style Ashley and Leran Pendants in a staggered pattern above the dance floor to bring together the Bohemian aesthetic of the wedding reception! Both the Ashley and Leran Pendant bring a unique texture to the design and look stunning when layered with the sleek cascading white drape! On the outside of the venue, we created a cohesive look by hanging one of our Leran Pendants from the limb of an old oak tree to illuminate the chic bohemian style lounge underneath. We love utilizing the natural elements of the venue to create unforgettable designs!

We hope you enjoyed a look into what went into the designs of our favorite weddings from 2021! We can't wait to create more amazing lighting designs in 2022. Contact us today at info@iesproductions.com to start planning the wedding of your dreams!
