Global Wedding Awards 2025 | 17 Best Luxury Wedding Design Firm 2025 – South Carolina Designs by Felicia Higdon is a luxury wedding design firm in South Carolina offering wedding planning, décor, and wedding florist services to those clients searching for the perfect big day. At the helm is art-design graduate and wedding fanatic Felicia Higdon, whose experience in the field extends to managing the weddings of her daughters along with countless couples. On the back of being named as a winner in this programme, we caught up with Felicia to find out more about her journey and what goes into her weddings. Tired of looking for a suitable all-inclusive wedding planner for her own daughter’s wedding, Felicia Higdon was so frustrated at having to contact a different vendor for seemingly every little item that she decided to just do everything herself, saving a great deal of time and stress in the process. With two highly successful weddings then under her belt, Felicia made the decision to pursue this full time, officially starting Designs by Felicia Higdon. Her enthusiasm has led to the business continuing to expand and evolve, as was the case with Felicia beginning to make lavish floral designs by hand, recognising the hassle and the cost of having to outsource bouquets and manage delivery. Felicia’s craft skills do not end there however, as she also creates artificial garden settings for use during weddings. As she explained: “With 14 artificial trees, hedges, flowers, palm trees, flowering trees, lighted curtains, hand-sewn curtains, etc., I turn venues into dream weddings.” Even in those cases where couples seek something a little different for their big day, Felicia is on hand to deliver something truly special. Her wedding weekend options are a great example of this, with these serving as the perfect choice for those who want to get married without the guests or small group, intimate weddings. Beginning with airport pick-up, couples enjoy everything from private dinners and spa treatments to an intimate reception with dancing. The day after the ceremony, couples can also choose from a long list of exciting activities. Irrespective of the specifics of the wedding she is planning, Felicia prides herself on adopting the same holistic ethos when it comes to creating the perfect backdrop for one of the best days in her clients’ lives. Whether they are from New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta, Florida, or South Carolina itself, Felicia sees all are happy and comfortable at every stage of planning. Be it using FaceTime from the venue itself or remaining available to call night and day, Felicia sees it as her duty to ensure everything is perfect. It's not uncommon for Felicia to travel to southern states to create weddings for her clients, making exclusive, custom items for their memorable weddings. Alongside her own expertise, Felicia also works closely with a number of talented individuals equally attuned to fulfilling the vision of the bride. Felicia told us: “I have worked with Kris Reitz and Chaz Brigestock starting from the second wedding to date.” She continued: “I also have an array of musicians, DJs, lighting experts, videographers, etc. that all come highly recommended. Kris’ husband, Tom, and my husband, Danny, are always on ‘stand-by’ on wedding days to rush to help in situations.” Finally, Felicia said: “I have also had the privilege of becoming friends with two of the best photographers that also clear their schedules for my weddings. Lisa Staff Photography and Photography by Anne have both been such pleasant blessings in my life. It has been really nice meeting some of the most wonderful and professional women with the same mindset and fun personalities. I am so very thankful for my wonderful team!” With Charleston, Savannah, and the rest of the Lowcountry being some of the top wedding destinations in the US, this as a result of their rich history and beautiful scenery, it pays to see an expert wedding coordinator like Felicia Higdon brought in to assist at every stage. Winning awards from "The Knot and Wedding Wire" from "best of the best " to "Best of the Couples awards " since their first year, Felicia has become known as the go-to wedding planner for everything from a couples wedding weekend experience to a more traditional luxury wedding. This is why it is our pleasure to celebrate Designs by Felicia Higdon with this award and a place in the programme.
