When considering a theme for your Charleston wedding, the coast most likely comes to mind. Our sundrenched beaches, hues of sea blues, calming palm trees, and of course, the culinary delights sourced straight from our backyard waterways all serve as perfect inspiration for your big day. Built by intentional design, Cannon Green’s lush, downtown Charleston venue offers the idyllic backdrop for a coastal-themed event, and with a few additional bespoke touches, your wedding will surely be the talk of the South!
Food From the Sea –– Nothing says “coastal” more than seafood, especially oysters! Incorporating oysters as a culinary element or decoratively as table name cards or party favors is an easy way to make your wedding guests feel ocean-front while in the heart of downtown Charleston. Interested in creating an interactive shucking experience for your guests? The Cannon Green Sales Team is proud to expertly coordinate this unique and memorable add-on with Oysters XO. Team Tip: oyster shucking is exceptionally special during a Courtyard cocktail hour amidst Cannon Green’s whistling palm trees, setting sun, and soothing fountains.

Blue Hues & Beachy Decor –
Transport your guests to the coast with the use of beachy hues and standout design elements like linen, wicker, rattan, and bamboo. Opt to keep it subtle by incorporating blues into your florals or make a louder coastal statement with colored glassware and napkins and patterned tablecloths. Team Tip: you can never go wrong mixing a variety of blues with neutrals for an authentic nautical look!

A Coastal Backdrop –
Palm trees are a classic symbol for a beach state of mind and Cannon Green’s palm-tree-lined Courtyard offers the perfect backdrop for your coastal-inspired wedding. Our outdoor venue will whisk your guests away to the shore with the sound of the soothing fountains amidst the lush greenery. Team Tip: having a wedding elsewhere? Create a feeling as unique and enchanting as our Courtyard by bringing the beach inside –– work with a creative florist to incorporate palm leaves or potted trees!
