Charleston Wedding Inspiration: Eyelet

Comments: 1

Eyelet, lace’s pretty sister, has been steadily making a comeback on runways, in gowns, and in tabletop decor.  Eyelet details bring such a dainty, ladylike quality to any wedding. We love it in pure white or in spring’s colors of the moment: pastels.

I was thrilled to be asked by The Local Palate to be a contributor for the April Issue. Not only do I love this publication, but I am a bit enchanted with the topic at hand – how to host a spring brunch.  I love gathering my nearest and dearest for lingering afternoons full of laughter and stories. I find the trick to a successful brunch is setting a lovely and cozy table paired with a heart warming menu and a festive spring cocktail.

We especially enjoyed developing this story at our boutique hotel in Charleston, S.C.,  Zero George. I recommend picking up a copy of the magazine as it is full of fresh southern food trends and “in the know” regional recommendations.

More of the story and some of my entertaining tips are shared below… Cheers to the first official day of Spring!

Charleston Wedding Inspiration: White Florals

Comments: 0

Sometimes it’s best to return to what is simple, what is pure.  And elegant white blooms can do no wrong in our opinion.  With an all-white bouquet or table arrangement, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase various textures and greenery.  Whether you’re adding in lots of color elsewhere or keeping your palette all ivory, white florals are just gorgeous.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’ve got hearts on the brain.  Subtle heart shapes incorporated into decor, accessories, and desserts can add a romantic touch to any bridal shower, wedding day, or celebratory brunch.

Charleston Wedding Inspiration: Ceremony Backdrops

Comments: 0

The ceremony is the most meaningful part of a wedding day, and we love ceremonies that exhibit as much thought and care in their decor as went into the rest of the day.  Arches dripping in florals, dramatic displays of candlelight, unique wood signage, or draped linen against a gorgeous landscape are all perfect backdrops in front of which to say your “I do’s.”

Charleston Wedding Planner: Candlelight

Comments: 0

Candlelight might be the single most romantic detail of a wedding or special event.  Incorporating traditional white pillar or votive candles into your tablescape is a classic way to set the mood; however, we are more and more drawn to dramatic displays of soft, flickering light.  We’re loving hundreds (even thousands!) of candles burning atop tables and hanging from tree branches, tall pillars lighting ceremonies, and unique candle holders like mercury glass, mineral coasters, and glass terrariums.
