Sharing the Romance

Last week was such a busy week! We finially met with Katie and Bobby, winners of the Sharing the Romance wedding giveaway.  The first stop of the day was a press conference at Magnolia Plantation.  Here is a link to the write up in the Post and Courier.

After the press conference we walked through the ceremony and reception space and began brainstorming ideas!  There will be lots of red, gold and camelia’s!  The next two days were filled meeting with all of the wonderful vendors we will be working with, we had a very long to do list for Katie and Bobby!  In their two day visit to Charleston, they met with Sarah Black, owner of Fabulous Frocks to find a dress, Ice Box to beging looking at bar options, ginger apple mojito specialty drink? YUM!

Katie and Bobby also had their engagement session with Mel Bell, from Richard Bell Photography, discussed ceremony flowers with Gayla from Tiger Lily Florist, and met with Elaine Mincey about their cakes (there will be a trio of cakes!). Finially, we met with Micheal from Mosiac Catering to create a lowcountry menu of shrimp & grits and BBQ before ending the two days of meeting with Scottie Cline about inviations.  It was a busy two days and there is still a lot to do!   We will keep everyone posted!

Rehearsal Dinner

We had a wonderful fall color themed rehearsal dinner last weekend at Upstairs Rue de Jean.

Guests were able to catch up with each other during cocktail hour, followed by a seated dinner.

 Tables were named after streets around Charleston!

The decor had a fall feel with green linens and assorted orange flowers including orange gerber daisies and yellow tulips!

Megan and Evan

Legare Waring House

May 25, 2012

What a way to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend…we began it at the Legare Waring House on Friday, May 25th. The couple- Megan and Evan- are so sweet and so in love…we were so thrilled to be a part of their special day!

They were married under the avenue of oaks and in all honesty couldn’t have asked for a better day- the sun was filtering through the tree’s throughout the ceremony …it was just stunning.

Megan’s color palette of purples and whites came together beautifully…..

 The aisle was framed with our white shepards hooks with hanging floral vases, the couple was married on an elevated platform and framed off with these beautiful sprays of purple and white gladiola’s. The Wedding programs were letterpressed by the super talented Heather Forsythe of Sixpence Press.

The Tent was lined in white, with our crystal chandeliers and perimeter lighting on dimmers for adjustment throughout the evening.

Centerpieces of white flowers on eggplant linens was stunning…to add to the design our florist-added pearls to each of the floral containers.

A White Plantation Bar served as the drink station where a wonderful variety of non alcoholic drinks were offered in our drink dispensers.

 

The bar and these umbrella tables overlooked the lagoon…..where alligators are often seen:)

The inside of the Legare Waring housed photographs of the bride and grooms parents, along with the cake.

The Cake was designed by Elaine Mincey and was inspired by Megan’s gown.

It was a gorgeous day, a gorgeous wedding and a great party! Our thanks to our vendors:

Julie Ann and Gabrielle from Legare Waring House, Mosaic for the fabulous food, Elaine Mincey for the stunning cake, Sixpence Press for the custom signage and wedding programs, Atlantic Tent’s for the beautiful tent, BBJ Linen, Hal from Lee Edwards Entertainment, and our wonderful floral team headed by Judy Johnston.

Congratulations Megan and Evan- we are so excited for you!

Shannon and Philip

Harbourside East

Shannon & Philip

A stunning venue, a stunning view, a stunning bride and groom……we were so thrilled to be a part of Shannon and Philip’s wedding day!

Held overlooking Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River Bridge they were married under a chuppah of white fabric and purple and white blossoms. A custom aisle runner bearing their initials, and framed with rose petals, was a beautiful walkway for the bridal party entrance. To add to the beauty of the setting we added Umbrella’s to shield guests from the sun and add to the garden feel.

Upon conclusion of the sweet ceremony, guests proceeded to the reception site via a lantern lined walkway along the harbor.  They then took the stairs to the patio of Harborside East. They were greeted with a specialty cocktail and two tents with custom fabric draping and crystal chandeliers. The color palette of smoky purple, black and white was gorgeous! We added to the outdoor feel stringing cafe lighting between the two tents creating an open air cafe feel.

 

The inside of Harborside East has a distinct style that Shannon loved and we wanted to enhance – we embellished the existing chandeliers with orchid strands and little purple acolytes, hung custom fabric draping in the smoky purple color ….the result …a gorgeous room!

We were so thrilled to coordinate this wedding not only because it was a fabulous couple but because we are so excited that Harborside East has reopened…it is a great waterfront venue and we look forward to bringing you more Harborside East Events soon…

Many thanks to our vendors:

Lindy- Harborside East, BBJ linens, The Total Table linens, Photographer- Taylor Stewart, Jim Smeal- Wedding Cake, Mike and the guys at Atlantic Tents, Eventworks, The Root Doctors Band, Studio R – Wedding Invitations, and as always our wonderful floral team- headed by Judy Johnston.

Congratulations Shannon and Philip!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laurel and Daniel

I’on Creek Club

Laurel & Daniel

Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Laurel and Daniel began their new life together on this festive day…

As a nod to the holiday,  Laurel wanted to incorporate the Papel Picado flags into the design of their day.  As part of the Wedding planning process we discussed the options and decided to incorporate it into their wedding stationary, the cake design and a few banners hanging at the reception. The color palette of tiffany blue, grey, and yellow was beautiful for spring and looked great the Creek Club at I’on.

One of the ways we brought in the aqua blue color was using the antique ball jars that Daniel’s mother and family all had in their collections…they made fabulous containers for centerpieces- and to add to the design our florist Judy Johnston fashioned budvases to match.

We wanted to “cozy up” the porch and added pale yellow draping to the existing columns, hung our crystal chandeliers, created candlescapes on the fireplace threshold and added sofa seating as well.

The cake was designed by Elaine Mincey which included her famous Sugar Magnolia’s which was used as a design element on Laurel and Daniel’s save the dates, and some of the Papel picado flags hanging from the cake.

Linens were grey shantung and Nile Blue Lamour from BBJ Linens- we added custom fabric runners to many of the tables and custom throw pillows in a light grey, dark grey and off white paisley print.

Our Congratulations to the happy couple!

Our many thanks to the following vendors:

Lea Dales for these set up  photo’s, The Creek Club at I’on for the venue and catering, BBJ Linens, Eventworks rentals, Elaine Mincey for the cake, Lee Edwards Entertainment for the DJ service, Firecracker Bill for the rental tree’s, Heather at Sixpence Press for the fabulous invitations, wedding programs and reception signage; and last but definitely not least- our own Judy Johnston for her fabulous floral designs!

We are excited to get photo’s from Karyn Iserman – photographer- highlighting more images from this special day…..we will share them with you soon!
