Vows That Wow — Lillie & Kelland

Lillie and Kelland’s wedding at Frederica Golf Club on St. Simons Island is proof that a classic setting can still make room for garden-inspired color, playful details, and plenty of personality. With lush florals, soft pinks, fresh greens, and thoughtfully layered patterns, their celebration felt romantic and refined while still bringing something unexpected to the traditional golf club setting.

From the planning and design by TOAST Events by Maren to the statement-making florals by Harvey Designs, gorgeous photography by Anna Shackleford, and the talent from all other vendors, every element came together to create a wedding day filled with color, texture, and fairytale garden beauty.

A Fresh Take on a Classic Setting

Set against the natural beauty of Frederica Golf Club, Lillie and Kelland’s celebration embraced the elegance of its surroundings without letting tradition dictate the design. Instead, the reception came alive through a fresh palette of pinks and greens, patterned details, and layers of florals that transformed the space.

TOAST Events by Maren brought the couple’s vision together with a design that felt polished yet full of personality. From the overall color story to the smallest details, the celebration balanced timeless Southern elegance with a playful approach to color and pattern.

As Maren shared:

“This is your sign that a golf club wedding does not have to play it safe.

At Frederica Golf Club on St. Simons Island, this day leaned into color in the best way. The soft pinks, fresh greens, patterned details, and reception design all worked together in a way that still felt classic for the setting, but fun enough to feel completely their own…
Rain or shine, May 2nd was practically perfect in every way… just like my sweet couple! Lillie and Kelland’s love story was stitched into the stars, a true fairy tale romance. It was love at first sight for Kelland and he was a true gentleman as he courted Lillie through the years. Once the timing was right for them both, no distance long or short could keep them apart! Let it rip! Hail to the Chrystie’s!”

A Celebration in Full Bloom

Florals played a defining role throughout the celebration, with Harvey Designs creating arrangements that were every bit as impactful as they were romantic. Rather than simply accenting the reception, the florals became part of the experience itself.

Lush blooms spilled across the tables, while towering arrangements added height and dimension throughout the space. The combination created a layered, garden-inspired atmosphere that drew the eye from one detail to the next. Soft pink blooms mixed with fresh greenery and vibrant touches of color, complementing the patterned elements incorporated throughout the reception.

Harvey Designs described the floral vision:

“For Lillie & Kelland’s gorgeous wedding day, at Frederica Golf Club on St. Simons Island, color took center stage in the most effortless way. A floral banquette designed to be as memorable as the celebration itself. Layers of lush blooms spilled across the table, up towering designs, creating a landscape of color, texture, and movement that invited guests to enjoy the beauty of fresh florals even more. Equal parts garden romance and elevated design, every stem was thoughtfully placed to transform this day into an experience!”

The result was a reception that felt abundant without losing its refinement. Each arrangement contributed to the overall design while allowing the flowers themselves to remain a standout feature of the day.

Capturing Every Colorful Detail

With a celebration this rich in color and detail, photography played an important role in preserving not only the moments between Lillie and Kelland, but also the atmosphere created around them.

Anna Shackleford Photography beautifully documented the day, capturing everything from the sweeping floral installations to the patterned reception details and intimate moments shared between the couple. Her imagery allows the thoughtful work behind the celebration to shine while preserving the emotion and energy that made the day uniquely Lillie and Kelland’s.

Together, the photography, planning, and floral design tell the complete story of a wedding that was romantic, colorful, and anything but predictable.
