Ariel and Brett

The Historic Rice Mill

Ariel and Brett were married Memorial Day Weekend at the Historic Rice Mill

overlooking the City Marina.

The backdrop for the ceremony was a wrought iron arbor fashioned with white flowers and white fabric.

The aisle runner and the chairs were also white.

Engaging Events tied raspberry pink sashes to the aisle chairs

and our florist tied purple orchids to the aisle chairs.

In lieu of a wedding cake, Ariel and Brett chose to treat their guests to cupcakes.

They came from their favorite place “Cupcake” on King Street in Charleston- they had frequented the

shop during their courtship- so it is a special place for them.

The ceiling of the covered patio was draped with White fabric by Engaging Events.

We lit the patio with a variety of shapes of white Asian lanterns; and furnished it with

our white sofas, throw pillows, and coffee tables.

The William Aiken House

 Janis & Dave are a very fun and quirky couple!

Janis is very detail oriented and really knows what she likes.

Dave likes pretty much whatever Janis likes but he also had some special requests for their day.

I have to say that I am not always a fan of using the bridge over the pond at the William Aiken House -

But the way we used it for Janis and Dave may have changed my mind!

We covered the bridge in white fabric, and then used a custom aisle runner with their monogram and a gold border to finish it off!

Judy and her team created an gorgeous “altar” area using the existing pergola and greenery, roses, lilies, and hydrangea.

- and of course I can’t forget about our wrought iron lanterns that also hung in between the columns of the pergola.

It was all done so tastefully and created such a romantic setting.

As I said, Dave did have some requests of his own ~

One of which was to have a vocalist sing a song or two in Italian during the ceremony.

Anne Marie Fairchild is a local vocalist that I have had the priviledge of hiring  a few times.

She started off the ceremony with Ava Maria and then, during the ceremony,

 sang “The Prayer” – and at Dave’s request – in Italian!!!

Thank you Anne Marie!

 

For the reception ~ Janis liked the 1950′s era and so the florals and textured linens really helped us to create that look.

The Dance Tent did not Disappoint! 

We Fashioned the tent with Gold Satin fabric accents and hung our crystal chandeliers…

Judy and her team created beautiful tall and short arrangements  that were just stunning upon entering the tent.

Janis & Dave danced the night away and then finished the night off with a sparkler departure ~

and of course…a romantic carriage ride.
