Words cannot describe how over the moon my now husband, Tristan, and I feel to have found and chosen Sarah Lillie Designs for our Charleston wedding. We felt so overwhelmed with the wedding process from the beginning, and we met with a bunch of Charleston planners to figure out who we felt was the best fit. To say Lillie was a good fit would be an understatement. From the beginning, Lillie’s personality and presence was calm and inviting, while also being focused and motivated. Sarah Lillie Designs quickly understood our taste/style and seamlessly delivered an impeccable design. She was quick to understand our vision and not only executed on that vision but added her own experience and ideas to really bring our events to life. Her thoughtfulness and eye for design shined from beginning to end. We felt we were able to share our opinions or express anxiety openly with Lillie, and she always helped ground us while also being on top of our requests or questions. This was crucial as we were not local to Charleston. We are a couple that tends to be very specific and know what we like, and Lillie helped us to feel calm and excited about the timeline, our vendors (which were all AMAZING!), and particularly the design. Lillie’s eye for design is simply unmatched. She nailed it all. Many of our guests expressed that the wedding felt very “us,” and this was largely due to Lillie’s creativity, attention to detail, desire to get to know us as a couple, and collaboration. She is very easy going, which helped during such a stressful process. On the day of our wedding, not a thing was out of place. We were both able to enjoy every minute of what felt like a seamless and perfect weekend, all thanks for Sarah Lillie Designs!!!

I truly cannot imagine my wedding day without Lillie. She is so talented at what she does, not only in the planning aspect but in her impeccable design eye. She really listened to what we wanted our day to look and feel like, and brought our ideas to life in a way I couldn't have even imagined. Adding her own touches along the way that so perfectly aligned with our vision too. Not only did she make my wedding day such a breeze, but she was also there every single step of the way during our year of planning. She made every decision so much easier and less stressful. Lillie has such a calming yet confident demeanor which is exactly what I knew I needed surrounding me. I cannot say enough good things about Lillie and would 1000% recommend her to anyone considering working with her. I cannot imagine this experience without her and cannot thank her and her team enough for making our wedding day beautiful, thoughtful, carefree, fun and the best day of our lives!

It was truly an unbelievable day and we are still beaming the biggest smiles ever as husband and wife. Knowing we wanted a “destination” wedding we quickly zeroed in on Charleston and Lillie quickly got to work scouting venues for our perfect day. She was our guiding light from the linens, to teaching us about charger plates and design, drawing up vision boards to show us the looks. She absolutely nailed it. As a couple from out of state who planned a destination wedding for 80 guests, what started as a “we just want to show up” turned into absolute perfection. She made everything a seamless process even though we were out of state. She kept us updated but also kept us to a timeline that made sense so we did not get ahead of ourselves. She kept us cool when we were over thinking, and kept us engaged when we were feeling overwhelmed. Lillie guided us on every little detail. Those details are what made the wedding. The timeline was so spot on and our guests are still talking about all the perfect little details that made our day so special. Her creativity is unmatched, she is beyond professional, organized, responsive and knowledgeable about her craft. She was so excited about our unique flower seating chart and showing us she truly loves what she does. She is very involved and provides value to the planning process making you feel like you’re the only bride and groom she’s working with. She contemplates details we would never think about, explores ideas you bring to her and provides honest opinions, and anticipates problems before they occur. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding and were blown away.
Lillie really shined with helping develop our theme and color scheme. We were able to bounce ideas off her and she would get excited along with us. In the constant barrage of social media influence, she knew all the trends and what would truly be important to make our day special and intimate. In person meetings with an amazing florist, she knew perfect flowers for the occasion which was not our specialty. She explained everything and added pictures to a vision board for us to see how everything would tie together. She provided so much inspiration but made sure that we had final say in everything. Every vendor she led us to was exquisite and detail oriented just like Lillie. She even drove us non-driving New Yorkers around to our vendor appointments and tastings.
Both of us (bride and groom) felt very involved in every aspect of our wedding. She helped us find inspiration in things we did not even know we cared about. Even the groom started bouncing ideas off of Lillie because she got him so excited for our special day. In today’s fast paced world, it is easy for people to let the small details slide. Lillie was there with us every step of the way and gave not only us, but our family and friends too, a wedding to remember for the rest of our lives. We can’t wait to plan our 10th anniversary with her, lol.
