MORE ABOUT THIS DAY

Charleston Charm Meets Coastal New England | Michelle & Corey’s Riverside Celebration

Set against the tranquil waters of St. Augustine’s Matanzas River, Michelle & Corey’s wedding at River House was a seamless blend of Southern elegance and timeless coastal style. Inspired by the refined charm of Charleston and the crisp, classic aesthetic of New England’s seaside retreats, their wedding design was both sophisticated and effortlessly inviting.

The ceremony took place on the back terrace, where guests watched the couple exchange vows with the river stretching beyond them and the St. Augustine Lighthouse perfectly framed in the distance. As the sun dipped lower, guests moved to the patio for cocktail hour, enjoying the waterfront breeze before retreating indoors for a reception designed to feel both warm and refined.

A palette of soft blues, ivory, and warm peachy gold tones anchored the design, with Seamist Lamour linens carefully chosen for their unique blue hue with a subtle green undertone. The florals, a delicate mix of blue, white, and peachy gold blooms, added dimension and warmth, striking the perfect balance between coastal sophistication and Southern charm. The evening was a balance of understated luxury and relaxed celebration, proving that when thoughtful design meets a breathtaking backdrop, magic happens.

Michelle & Corey’s wedding at River House in St. Augustine, FL was the perfect marriage of classic Southern hospitality and fresh coastal elegance—creating a night as timeless as their love.
