Charleston Wedding Inspiration: We Heart It

easton events

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

wedding va

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 Inspiration: Gray Wedding Gown

Comments: 0

fenwick hall charleston - gray wedding dress

Would you dare wear a gray wedding gown?  This elegant alternative to white can be a refreshing choice for the modern bride.  Even those with the most classic taste are finding a bit of moody romance in this silvery hue.  A touch of tulle, a satin sash, or a peek of lace – all are lovely in a subtle shade of gray.

Charleston Wedding Planner: Emerald

Emerald is Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year, and we couldn’t be more pleased.  There’s something completely sophisticated and luxurious about this deep green hue.  We love it paired with navy and gold or with contrasting shades of pale aqua and seafoam.

Color Me Beautiful: Evergreen

evergreen

It’s easy to be inspired by all the beautiful evergreens gracing hearths and bringing cheer to doorways. Evergreens are a classically elegant detail to incorporate into tablescapes or to attach to escort cards.  Add a sprig to a boutonniere or slip one into a napkin ring, and you’ll not only add beauty but also a pretty delightful aroma.

Ode to all things Printed!

Comments: 0

We have had an especially wonderful year of show stopping printed material suites and we would love to give a special THANK YOU to the our stationary gurus that make it all happen! Their creativity, technique and unwavering attention to detail inspire the Easton team and our brides daily. The printed suite is a defining element of the wedding, and discovering ways to uniquely and tastefully lace the details throughout the evening ties the vision together.

SIDESHOW PRESS – The ladies of Sideshow Press are a creative institution in Charleston, South Carolina. Known for their unbelievable letterpress designs and time-honored craftmanship, Sideshow Press delivers beyond beautiful work. As seen in Martha Stewart and Garden & Gun, we feel lucky to work with this remarkable team in Charleston. This year we produced a lavender and apricot suite for Southern Weddings Magazine and a beautiful velvet suite for The Knot.  We also collaborated on a lovely wedding and Charleston shoot and we cannot wait to share the images!

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS – Talk about creative and inspiring energy, the team at Rock Paper Scissors never fails to wow us with their innovative ideas and new printed mediums. We feel amazingly fortunate to be able to collaborate with them on a regular basis. We did many a fun and fabulous printed suite this year and these are just two of the highlights. The gray and blush calligraphy suite for Whitney & Clarke in Southern Weddings Magazine was such a blast! We loved lacing the bee and garland motif throughout the details. The punchy patterned suite for Parker & Scott added that perfect touch of whimsy to their classic white and peony pink wedding.

ERIKA JACK STATIONNAIRE
Erika Jack is known for her lovely and feminine bespoke designs. She works magic with swirls, angles, color, and her signature wax seal. She has a timeless, classic approach but is not afraid to push the envelope with a custom motif, monogram, or beautiful patterned liner. Not only is she a fabulous stationnaire but she is the graphic designer extraordinaire for The Scout Guide! We love any opportunity to work Erika – her work never fails to amaze. The suite below was featured in Southern Weddings Magazine for Lauren & Rob’s wedding.

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.
