Kara & Scott

The Pavilion at Patriots Point Golf Links

Friday, June 25, 2010

 

This wedding is a perfect example of our goal to create a wedding “uniquely you”. Kara loves pink, I mean loves it,

so we used oodles of it throughout her wedding. Her color palette of bright pink, orange and lime green is surprising to some, refreshing to others and gorgeous to us!

The ceremony took place on the lawn overlooking Charleston Harbor.

In lieu of traditional chair flowers we used our shepards hooks and hung cute vases of flowers to line the aisle.

The “altar” area featured bright pink carnation balls- fashioned by our own Judy Johnston.

Ok, so another thing Kara loved was polka dots, and lots of them.

We fashioned her save the dates and her wedding invites with them. Designed by Studio R, the backside of her invite panel was the design above (polka dots with their intials)

so we worked with Studio R and a local print shop creating this laminated board that Kara could easily frame for her home later.

For the wedding it served as the placecard display- we glue dotted the escort envelopes to the board and as each guest picked up their card–

more, and more of the design of the board was revealed.

I think this center photo says it all….what a colorful beautiful tent. We glammed it up a bit using our crystal chandeliers.

You’ve seen our glass tower used for drinks many times, but this time it held the shrimp tinis guests enjoyed at the cocktail hour.

Many thanks to Duvall Catering for a fabulous meal.

Gorgeous flowers as always- Many thanks Judy!

Kara and Scott provided us with photo’s of the two of them throughout their relationship in many of their favorite places,

we used the names of the different places as their table names, framed the photo’s and voila!

Lindsay &  Ben

The Historic Rice Mill

Friday, June 18, 2010

Ok so every now and then you get those clients that are just cute as a button, well this was one of those times.

Lindsay and Ben are adorable, sweet, fun and most of all in love:)

details-035 details-052

Lindsay’s design taste was unique in that she didn’t like things to “match” too much, she likes organic touches and all things “green”,

at the same time she likes clean lines…hope you enjoy how we put all that together!

details-014 details-060

Have I mentioned that I love, love, love alium’s!!!!!

So I can’t take 100%  credit for this cute display- Lindsay saw it in a magazine-

we hung photo’s from their childhood and time as a couple using clothespins and twine

details-006 details-045

We always love working at the Rice Mill their staff is great! As I mentioned above Lindsay likes things a bit organic and eclectic

while at the same time enjoying clean lines..below are some fun centerpieces and a snapshot of the sofa seating area and charming Marina Room above.

We were proud to be a part of Lauren and Christopher’s special day.  Thank you to Liz Duren for these lovely set up photo’s.

Lauren’s Bridesmaids wore beautiful smoky blue gowns and we adorned the chapel with Lauren’s favorite combination

of pinks, corals, yellows, cream and peach flowers.

As guests arrived at the Rice Mill they were greeted with hanging  lanterns in the tree’s as well as this charming placecard board.

We adorned it with little yellow daisy’s in a circle pattern mimicing the circle patterns from her invites from TGK Designs.

Lauren wanted a DIY project and created her own programs using her monogram and that circle pattern.

Elaine Mincey fashioned a fabulous cake using the wedding invitations circle and dots pattern as her inspiration.

Judy Johnston -our ever awe inspiring florist- created beautiful florals in these wonderful spring colors.

The Historic Rice Mill never disappoints—with its hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and stunning harbor views, and amazing lighting-

a romantic beautiful setting is never too hard to come by.

Here you will see that great smoky blue color in the linens, a romantic and stunning headtable, and Engaging Events handy work creating a fun

and fabulous patio setting using green draping and our white asian lanterns for the ceiling.

Our many thanks to Lauren and Christopher for allowing us to be a part of their special day!

To start off the busy spring wedding season, Engaging Events was asked to take part in a photo shoot for The Bride Book magazine!  The Location was  beautiful Osprey Point on Kiawah Island.  Osprey is an amazing venue!  Not only is it nestled among  the gorgeous views and landscapes of Kiawah Island but this venue has a lot to offer and an endless amount of possibilities.

 

The Osprey clubhouse  is beautifully decorated on it’s own but with its darker carpet, curtains & wood beams, it does have a more masculine, dark look that can make it hard for some to be able to visualize having anything but a fall reception there.  We really wanted to take this opportunity to show how any space can truly be transformed into the wedding of their dreams for any season!

One way that we softened the look of this venue was by covering their existing drapes with our own fabric!  The draping really brightened up the space while enhancing it’s existing beauty.

The Grill Room at the Osprey is the perfect spot for a cocktail hour before dinner, or an additional space for seating and food stations with a Heavy Hors d’ oeuvres reception.

One of my favorite areas is the porch! It not only allows you & your guest to enjoy the beautiful view but the porch extends the whole length of the building!  We really wanted to showcase this space because whether you plan a seated meal or a roaming food station reception , this space will definitely be a popular spot with your guests…and remember for those smaller more intimate affairs the porch could also serve as your ceremony site!

The main room at the Osprey is full of elegance and charm and the warm yellow linen (rented from Connie Duglin Linen) with the tiffany blue accents really brightened up the space. The ballroom is very versatile and can really be used a number of ways, whether you are looking for a seated meal as featured here, or food stations.  The view from this room is just gorgeous, the lagoon, the palms and of course the elegant and timeless southern oak tree’s.
