Effortlessly Elegant and Uniquely Yours
Whatley Wedding Design is a one-stop resource for unique, beautifully designed and expertly executed events. Based in Charleston, SC, we have worked with clients in the area since 2019. We've worked with some of the best vendors (and couples!) and we'd love to work with you.
Attention to detail and organization are our calling cards. Executing a perfect wedding day requires the coordination of many different elements - and we'd like to take the stress out of this process for you. Your wedding should be a special day of relaxation, celebration, and connection.
We're calm under pressure and adapt quickly to changes in schedules (things happen!). Our team is professional, organized, and on time. Let us help you plan the perfect day!

Throughout the whole planning process, she was always so organized, patient, and creative with solutions. Her positivity and smile are contagious for sure. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me!
"Char is seriously
one of the kindest,
sweetest people I
have ever met!"
hayley + robert
.We couldn't imagine doing it without her. Not a single hitch in the night, she is attentive and experienced. She even had a sewing kit on hand and was able to help my sisters cinch up my bustle that was almost a disaster! saved the day!
"Char...where to begin. She was incredible. the night was truly perfect"
katelyn + chris
It felt more like working with an older sister and friend than anything, in all the best ways- she'll give you her honest opinions and see to it that your requests (no matter how small or seemingly trivial) are met and executed- what's important to you is important to her!
"Char is incredibly organized and brings such a calm presence"
