Charleston Live Wedding Painting by Ben Keys

This Planter’s Inn wedding, tucked away in the heart of downtown Charleston, completely won our hearts! We are so excited to share Jen and Jack’s finished Live Wedding Painting from their perfectly Charleston wedding day!

Perfectly styled by Pure Luxe Bride

When scrolling through Instagram or Facebook, I know a Pure Luxe Bride wedding when I see one.  Francesca and Blake are a dynamic duo that have not only coordination down to a science, but have truly fine tuned their aesthetic that I would consider both glamourous and full of love.  Jen and Jack’s wedding was just that, so full of love with pops of glam!  The two said I DO at the Planter’s Inn, tucked away in the heart of downtown Charleston.  The courtyard in between the hotel and the ballroom provided the perfect, intimate backdrop for their ceremony.  Jen’s mom commissioned Ben to capture their ceremony as the subject for their live wedding painting.  The coral, pink tone to the Planter’s Inn is oh-so-Charleston with the iconic palmetto’s framing the walkway.  Ben really enjoyed capturing the pink-green feel along with the patterns from his vantage point.  

The icing on the cake for every Planter’s Inn Wedding: their famous Coconut Cake

The ceremony was followed by a reception inside the ballroom – the Pure Luxe Bride team created gorgeous lush-green table runners with glamorous centerpieces.  (Their reception could have easily been a gorgeous wedding painting, too!)  One of the best parts of hosting a wedding at Planter’s Inn is hand down, their culinary experience!  (Side Note: If you’re visiting Charleston, experiencing their coconut cake is a MUST – just go online and read the accolades for this cake!)  Peninsula Grill created an exceptional menu for their wedding day – quite possibly some of the best wedding food we’ve experienced!  

Needless to say, from the florals, to the food, to the intimate and iconic Charleston setting, Jen and Jack’s wedding day was just perfect!  We can’t WAIT to share their finished live wedding painting alongside the gorgeous photography from Aaron + Jillian Photography!  (The absolutely captured the day perfectly, too!)
