Côte & Designs

Aiken · S.C. South Carolina by appointment

Slow design, quietly coastal.

A single dusty pink garden rose resting on bone-cream linen

A small studio for the kind of wedding day or supper that feels like someone bothered. We design for one event at a time, palette to paper to florals, across South Carolina, the Lowcountry, and 30A.

- a working philosophy -

We accept twelve events a year. Not because we're precious about it, but because fifty would be a different studio.
