While they may have traded vows in First (Scots) Presbyterian Church, had a bagpiper lead them to their reception, and chosen a green and blue plaid jacket for Davis, there’s no Scottish backstory to those elements. “I wish we had some cool explanation,” laughs Annie, “but we just love that church, those colors, and the idea of a bagpiper.” Menswear by Tom James.

Monograms ran like a current through the wedding dominated by a nautical blue and white palette. The anchor icon appeared on invitations and on Annie’s bouquet wrap.
Lowcountry Valet & Shuttle Co.'s peacock blue Meadowlark shuttled the couple to nearby Washington Park for portraits.

Elegant and oh-so-entertained: this pair followed the prescription for the day.
A navy and white Greek key pattern fronted the 27-foot copper-topped bar. (this page, top right) “Guests will be in awe when they step into the rotunda,” read Tara’s proposal to Annie. Two-story garland swags, a towering topiary, and a circular suede settee delivered.
Striped paper straws ensured even drinks were in on the palette.
The bride’s favorite décor element? Their one-of-a-kind dance floor.
“Even without a seated dinner, you can still make an impact in the detail department,” says Tara of the mod food display.
Small bites were displayed in custom-made boxes that doubled as trays. Here, rainbow radishes sit atop whipped ricotta and crostini. (this page, bottom left) Soirée incorporated a touch of the Hamptons (Annie’s wish) with boxwood hedges.
Greens dominated the setting, but a handful of blooms popped up in arrangements starring cheery, warming coral hues.
Annie admits to being obsessed with “clean-lined” design, so a classic white-on-white cake fit the bill.
