Question

WHAT ATTIRE SHOULD I WEAR?

Dress up with us! We invite you to join us in formal attire, black-tie optional, for this special occasion. While tuxedos and gowns are welcome, a suit or cocktail dress is also perfectly appropriate. However, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable. Choose attire that allows you to feel at your best and fully enjoy the celebration. Please note that some events will be outdoors on the lawn, so choose your footwear accordingly.

Question

WILL THE WEDDING BE INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?

Answer

Weather permitting, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors with the reception being held under a tent. Guests will also have full access to the main house on the property should you wish to explore all the beauty and history Lowndes Grove has to offer!

Question

Will there be any other events the weekend of the wedding?

Answer

We are so excited to have our closest family and friends together in one of our favorite places! If you are planning to spend a few extra days in town, we would love for you to join us at two informal, unhosted gatherings over the wedding weekend. Event #1 – Saturday, October 3: Meet us on the creek! The wedding party plans to kick off the festivities on Shem Creek the evening before the big day. Join us at one of Victoria & Andrew’s favorite spots, Saltwater Cowboys, at 7:00 PM for drinks and good company. Event #2 – Monday, October 5: Beach Day on Isle of Palms! If you are staying in town after the wedding, come enjoy a relaxed beach day with us (weather permitting). We will be gathering at Station 46 on Isle of Palms from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Since this is an informal gathering, please bring your own beach chairs, towels, drinks, coolers, and anything else you may need for a comfortable afternoon by the water. If you have any questions about these gatherings, please feel free to reach out to Victoria or Andrew!
