{Vendor Spotlight} SIMPLY VENDORS: Plantation Landing

A few weeks ago I got a call from Plantation Landing... after quickly Facebooking it to see what it was all about I knew I had to go check this place out in person. The pictures do not do it justice. It is such a gorgeous Southern estate tucked back in a marsh on Wilmington Island. The house has a very antebellum feel to it and would be the perfect backdrop for a Southern wedding. The surrounding trees, marsh, and landscape is very picturesque and there are so many different places you could hold your ceremony. Some other things the house provides:

• Sleeps 14-18 guests (6 bed + 7.5 bath and a 3 bed + 2 bath guest house)
• 300 ft. of floating dock space for fishing, crabbing & shrimping
• 5 acre pond
• 50 ft. heated swimming pool access
• Billard room
• Theater room with 12 foot dropdown screen
• 48 ft. Bristol Ketch sailboat available for private charter
• Playground outside for the little ones

Seriously it is a gem! I am so excited they opened up the estate to host weddings there!

Lowcountry Lovebirds

A white dove release is such a breathtaking experience that will lift the spirits and be remembered by all in attendance. White doves have long been a symbol of love, fidelity and peace. Their flight represents togetherness and unity as they join in flight and leave together. Doves mate for life and are committed to their mate and family. This is a very environmentally friendly wedding option.

Packages range from 6 doves released from a basket for $300, 12 doves for $375, 18 doves for $450, or as many as 22 doves for $525. They can also be on display in a beautiful decorative cage for $100.

Now my favorite part of the dove releases are that they can be a symbolic gesture for remembrance of a family member who has passed on along with a lovely poem or prayer. Some people actually use the Lowcountry Lovebirds at funerals since they are such a beautiful expressive act. Tear!! As many people know my father was not at our wedding so we said something during the ceremony, and lit a candle with some words of memory at our reception, but having doves at our outdoor wedding would have been AMAZING!

The coolest part that I found out after talking with Tina, was that after their release they are instinctively drawn to go back home to their mates and offspring, they will circle the area, figure out where they are, then head home, and go right back into their cages!! The doves are able to fly home from several hundred miles away!!!
