There are weddings that feel magical no matter the location, and then there are weddings that feel like they were always meant to happen in only one special place. For Kylie and Brian, that place was Saint Simons Island. Set beneath the sweeping oaks and coastal breeze of Frederica Golf Club, it was a day full of love, legacy, and effortless Southern charm. With over 15 years of experience planning weddings on Saint Simons Island, Maren White of Toast Events brought everything together with heart and intention. From the deeply personal setting to the timeless details, this Saint Simons Island celebration was as meaningful as it was beautiful. Read on to hear the story from Toast Events!
The Venue + Setting
Frederica Golf Club was more than just a backdrop. It shaped the entire atmosphere of this Saint Simons Island wedding with its sweeping water views, moss-draped trees, and laid-back Southern elegance. More so, the space set the tone for a weekend that felt warm, relaxed, and incredibly meaningful, as Maren shares…
“When Kylie’s father purchased the Frederica Golf Club on Saint Simons Island, he knew it would be the perfect place for his daughter to be married. With the tabby front gates, the sprawling golf courses, the waterfront views and the clubhouse with unmatched service and cuisine, it was perfect. One of the most important elements to designing Kylie and Brian’s wedding was that we wanted to embrace the charm of Frederica (known for their immaculate golf greens and impeccable and courses) while also being inspired by the coastal surroundings of Saint Simons.”
The Ceremony + Bridal Fashion
“One of the most memorable moments of the day, Kylie stepping out in her custom gown, designed by Mandi Jackson Bridal and Jessica Mason Brown. Kylie’s dress was custom made in Atlanta- a true one of a kind! With a subtle change in her topper before the cake cutting, she had two looks to dance the night away to! Hair and makeup by Down the Isle completed the look with a polished, natural style that held up beautifully in the soft Saint Simons Island breeze.”
Cocktail Hour + Reception
“From start to finish, the design was full of thoughtful touches that felt refined and elegant. Rentals from Beachview, Amazing Event Rentals, BBJ La Tavola, Nuage Designs, and Stradley Davidson added softness and texture, helping each space feel welcoming and polished.”
“The stationery, created by Dear Elouise and Simply Put Paper, gave guests a first glimpse of the weekend’s tone: timeless, simple, and personal. Every detail, from seating to signage, was beautifully considered without ever feeling overdone.”
“The floral design by Harvey Designs echoed the natural setting: we wrapped the invitation in a gorgeous custom marsh print that we had to use as often and as subtly as possible. Beachview Event Rentals and Frederica Golf Club also curated custom fabrications that enhanced the space without overpowering it.”
“Live music by Music by Pegge and Pure Party Band brought this wedding to life to keep everyone movin’ and groovin’ all night.
Other elements that we wanted to be sure to embrace was the presence of a Bagpiper. Every evening at sunset, a bagpiper plays on the waters edge of Saint Simons to bring in the evening hours with a cocktail- for those that have never been to the island, this is a must to highlight!
The cake by Serendipity Bakery SSI was also a sweet focal point, elegant on the outside, and just as delightful on the inside.”
