Charleston Wedding Week: The Designer Shows | Leighton DaCosta, Charleston Wedding Photographer

On Friday, January 26, Charleston Wedding week presented the Designer Shows at the historic Lowndes Grove Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. The evening, culminating the nightly festivities of Charleston Wedding Week, was absolutely spectacular. From the outdoor waterfront reception, welcoming guests with drinks, live music, and even caviar.

Charleston Wedding Week is an annual celebration of all that is the wedding industry. The venue at Lowndes Grove proved to be the perfect venue for a bridal fashion show. The permanent and expandable event tent offered plenty of seating, great lighting, and an awesome horseshoe runway setup.

The DJ kept the energy up with the high tempo selections and the MC of the night. While Della MacNicholas of Charleston Weddings Magazine and The Wedding Row, opened and closed the show beautifully.
