Rue De Jean Welcome Party
Jen & Matt are from New Jersey, as are the majority of their wedding guests, so they decided to have a welcome party/Rehearsal Dinner for all the guest that traveled down for the wedding. Matt’s parents wanted to bring the beach and some of it’s fabulous fall features into the rehearsal party – But, also choose a venue in downtown Charleston. Upstairs Rue de Jean was decided on but, with no visible water nearby, what was a designer to do? Well, Judy Johnston and Cindy worked together to bring one of the more visible elements of the beach in the fall to life – Wheat was used to mimic the sea oats and sand, then a little blue color was added to create a very welcoming vibe but also, the Charleston Fall Beach theme that they were hoping for. And let me tell you, once these were added to the already beautiful exposed brick and wood beams at upstairs Rue de Jean, it really made the wheat and blue colors stand out!
Check out this Grooms cake which was done by Elaines Creative Cakes. If you can believe it, the hat at the top of the cupcake stand is an actual cake!!! The Groom is a huge NFL Baltimore Ravens fan so they wanted to incorporate that but in a very unique way...it turned out perfect!
