Hotel Domestique Wedding | A Whimsical, Romantic Celebration of Ursula and Bryan

Tucked away in the stunning South Carolina foothills, Hotel Domestique set the perfect scene for Ursula and Bryan's unforgettable wedding day. Planned with impeccable detail by Honey and Thyme Events, every moment celebrated the vibrant, active love story that first began with a bike ride.

Where Love and Biking Intertwine


In the rolling hills of South Carolina's beloved biking region, Ursula and Bryan chose Hotel Domestique as the breathtaking backdrop for their wedding day. It was more than just a venue; it was a nod to how their story began—on two wheels, riding side by side. Their passion for adventure and movement has been the heartbeat of their relationship, and they thoughtfully wove that spirit into the fabric of their celebration.

A Rainy Morning's Magic

The morning of the wedding arrived with a soft, enchanting rain that swept over the landscape, wrapping Hotel Domestique in a layer of mist and romance. The rain felt like a gentle blessing, heightening the intimacy of the day and making the colors of the surrounding mountains even richer. By the time Ursula walked down the aisle, the sky had softened into a brilliant, moody canvas, setting the perfect tone for a day filled with magic and emotion.

An Elegant Ceremony by the Reflecting Pool


The ceremony took place beside Hotel Domestique's elegant fountain, a serene setting framed by lush greenery and the soft trickle of water. Ursula, radiant in a gown that embodied understated elegance, and Bryan, dapper and beaming, exchanged vows in a setting that felt at once intimate and grand. The sound of laughter, happy tears, and the surrounding mountains bore witness to their promises.

Eclectic Blooms and Wild Beauty


Floral artistry was at the heart of Ursula and Bryan's vision. They dreamed of an eclectic, slightly wild garden atmosphere, and the florals brought that dream to life. Bursting with texture, color, and movement, every arrangement felt alive—as if they had been gathered from a secret meadow. Wildflowers danced in the breeze, vines trailed romantically, and unexpected details added an organic authenticity to the day.

A Love Story in Every Moment

Ursula and Bryan’s wedding was not just a celebration of their love but a reflection of who they are: adventurous, thoughtful, and endlessly in tune with each other. Through whimsy, rain-kissed romance, and unforgettable moments, they created a day that felt both deeply personal and universally magical. Their love, much like their favorite biking paths, is a journey—wild, beautiful, and destined for endless adventure.


A Farm-to-Table Feast Under the Stars


Dinner was a farm-to-table experience that honored the land and local artisans. Long tables draped with linen and lush greenery created a communal, celebratory atmosphere. Plates overflowed with seasonal flavors, wines flowed, and the air buzzed with heartfelt toasts and laughter. As the evening unfolded, the stars emerged from behind the earlier rain clouds, casting a soft glow over a night that felt endless in its beauty.
