You may recall my comments a couple months back about “Seeing Blue….” well we are happy to share with you some images from Katie and Chad’s wedding – one of the couples we were “seeing blue” with. Their wedding was on April 17, 2010 at Magnolia Plantation. We had beautiful weather, as well as a wonderful time meeting their families and friends. We will share some of the images of the happy couple in a later blog (from the ever talented Alan Hawes of Lowcountry Photojournalism) but meanwhile thought you might enjoy seeing their vision of blue…..
Katie and Chad were married under this timeless and elegant southern oak located on the lawn overlooking the Ashley River at the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation.
Katie, Chad and their guests enjoyed a seated dinner buffet in the rustic and beautiful Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation. We adorned the doorways with light blue fabric, used sweetgrass baskets to hold the earthy florals by our own Judy Johnston, and adorned the chairs with navy blue sashes.
Judy our florist never disappoints the photo above left, adorned the dinner buffet. We also created an interesting placecard display utilizing blue seaglass.
To add a gorgeous, yet dramatic backdrop for the cake the front door was also “dressed up” with a bit of light blue fabric.
The patio was tented and served as space for the cocktail hour as well as the dance area after dinner. The Hors D’oeuvres table you see in the distance in this photo was on wheels. So when cocktails were over we simply rolled it away- opening up the dance floor for later in the evening. Our dynamic duo (Tom and Steven) did an awesome job draping the tent. To give the tent some pop I covered our oversized lampshade pendants with a fun print fabric (picked out by our bride) and her mom fashioned pillow covers for our pillows for the sofa seating area..wow what a transformation of this space!
