Shea & Bo’s Dream Wedding in Savannah
At Port Town Collective (PTC), we believe weddings are more than just one day—they’re a journey of vision, care, and celebration. Shea and Bo’s May wedding in Savannah was the perfect reflection of this approach: timeless Southern charm, thoughtful design, and a night their guests will never forget. We loved incorporating 4 generations of family gowns into the aesthetic.
Morning Elegance at The Green-Meldrim House
The day began at the historic Green-Meldrim House, where Shea and her bridesmaids got ready in one of Savannah’s most treasured landmarks. Surrounded by Gothic Revival architecture and flooded with natural light, the setting provided a breathtaking backdrop for hair, makeup, and those quiet, anticipatory moments before walking down the aisle.
A Ceremony of Tradition at St. John’s Church
Steps away, Shea and Bo exchanged vows at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Madison Square. The sanctuary’s soaring arches, stained glass, and intimate setting made for a heartfelt ceremony filled with love, family, and meaning.
Dancing into Forever at The Oglethorpe Club
The celebration continued at the elegant Oglethorpe Club, where guests enjoyed an evening of international fare before filling the dance floor. The Atlanta Wedding Band delivered an unforgettable performance, keeping energy high and joy flowing as friends and family celebrated into the night. The Club was transformed in a way that cohesively blended with the lush downtown Savannah “garden” environment.
A Special Private Moment
Just before the dinner reception began, we whisked the bride and groom away for thirty minutes to share their first meal together in private. The bride later told us it was her favorite part of the day—a rare chance to pause, savor, and simply be with one another. While they dined, their families raised a private toast, creating a moment of connection just as meaningful. This intentional pause set the tone for the evening, ensuring the couple returned refreshed, present, and ready to celebrate.
