Lee Anne & Phil

We were proud to be a part of the wedding of Lee Anne and Phil on May 15th at the Wickliffe House!

The invitation to the wedding was designed by Studio R designs and captured the elegance of Charleston Gates,

the formality of the wedding Lee Anne and Phil were hoping for;

 but most of all the design was “Uniquely You” for our special couple!

As guests arrived they continued up the spiral staircase inside the historical Wickliffe House to the ceremony.  The ceremony arrangments were gorgeous!  

One of the “Uniquely You” elements of Lee Anne and Phil’s day was a ceremony “in the round” on the 2nd floor of the Wickliffe House.

We brightened up the inside with gold chiavari chairs and champagne linens, while cake was placed on a whimsical, yet elegant, textured linen making it a great focal point in the room.

The front porch and the tent were connected utilizing a special tent configuration allowing guests on the porch to view all the action in the tent.

We are proud to say this was another “uniquely you” element,

 as this tent configuration has never been done in that space and was the brainchild of Designer Cindy Zingerella.

Our many thanks to Atlantic Tents who helped us make this happen!

Hi my name is Jessi Martin and I am doing a summer internship with Cindy Zingerella at Engaging Events this summer.  I absolutly love working with Cindy and Angie and could not have asked for a better place to intern this summer!  My first day I was thrilled to be a part of Lindsay and Matt’s wedding on May 1st, 2010 at St. Lukes Chapel and the Historic Rice Mill.

The ceremony was held at St. Lukes Chapel and was gorgeously decorated with flowers from our own Judy Johnston.  Wreaths accented with apples welcomed guests into the church, while pink tulip pew markers and bright pink gladiolus altar arrangments framed the bride and groom and gave a burst of color to the church

Guests were welcomed at the reception held at the Historic Rice Mill with a refreshing raspberry lemonade signature drink.

We decorated the outdoor patio with white draping and chinese lanterns giving guests a nice place to relax and view the harbor.  Later in the night guests were able to kick off their fancy shoes and dance the night away in flip flops matching Lindsay and Matt’s color scheme!

 The evening ended with a rose petal departure for the bride and groom to a waiting Charleston Black Cab.  My first event was great and I was so happy to have been apart of Lindsay and Matt’s special day, and I wish the best of luck to the new bride and groom!

The Unexpected……A Classic look at a Rustic Venue

Heather and Antony were married inMarch at beautiful Boone Hall Plantation, the backdrop was the breathtaking avenue of Oaks.

What a romantic setting for a romantic couple!

Our thanks to Lowcountry Photojournalism for the great photography, Snyder Party Rentals for the tables, chairs and linens, and Duvall Catering for the fabuolus Food.

All the fabric draping, chandeliers, and gorgeous flowers are Engaging Events creations- thanks Team!

001-1

Their ceremony location was not one of the typical locations clients choose at Boone Hall.

Since they were hosting an intimate affair the lawn area near the slave homes was the perfect spot so that they could capture that beautiful avenue of Oaks.

The Unexpected….

The design and decor was a bit of the unexpected at the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation.

Heather and Antony loved the crisp clean look of a white wedding- so we added a bit of platinum to set it off.

However, the crystal chandeliers, and cafe lighting mixed with the white fabric draping was a bit different from what you would typically

see at that location…but it worked sooooo well! This was definitely one of our favorites!

Judy fashioned several styles of centerpieces to keep each table unique and interesting.

Here you see a moss covered tray with white dendrobium orchids at varying heights.

Janis & Dave

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.

HoffFaile327-1

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.

A Candy Station in the Dining Room was such a hit ~ from the begining to the end of the night!

Elaine Mincey – of Elaine’s Events Cakes of Distinction – provided us with her

Sugar Mangnolia Cake ~ You may have seen it in magazines before ~ If not, Check it out here…

The woman must have the patience of a saint to hand make all of those sugar Magnolia’s!!!

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.

Erin’s dress had a blue band which is what started their “theme” throughout the planning

We had the blue ribbon band on their “save the dates”, invitations, Cake (more about that below), their welcome    boxes, ceremony programs, and on their specialty drink glasses.   

Classic, simple, and elegant!

We also brought in the black & white dance floor that Patrick (Yes the Groom!) had to have :)

 

We found beautiful blue & ivory damask linens that just went with our crystal chandeliers like...peas & carrots! :)

The Mighty Kicks rocked the crowd & looked good too with the boxwoods & Palm trees to frame them off. 
The Engaging Events planter boxes, little white lights and spot lights gave the “stage” area the polished look we love.

The cake by Elaine Mincey was fabulous as always

Elaine stepped it up by molding it into the damask pattern in the linens and…Voila!!!

We can’t forget about that great lawn with the million dollar view of the harbor! 
Erin loved lounge seating ~ so, our ivory sofa’s, fashioned with brown throw pillows, and our end tables,
adorned with the blue damask linens, made that area quite the popular spot!

We used our cylinders &  candles with pale blue seaglass on the firepit wall
and added our shepards hooks & wrought iron lanterns to illuminate the area.
