Champagne and Gold, what Bridal Bliss!!

Ok so yes it is the middle of fall wedding season and we are running around sewing custom pillows, unpacking flowers, polishing silver, tying programs and all sorts of last minute details for our events this weekend ... BUT, I just had to share these. I have been waiting for just the right time to be able to get these out to you all.





Megan and Connor were married May 1, 2010 at the Cottages on Charleston Harbor and their reception followed at the Pavilion at Patriots Point. We were so lucky to meet Megan through her great friend and our event partner in crime Emmy Brooks with Peacock Events. Emmy was invited to the wedding and she wanted to make sure Megan was in the best hands for the night. Megan had such a clear overall vision of what she wanted the wedding to be. She wanted formality, soft muted colors and of course feature pieces of her favorite color ever, Pink.


She trusted us implicitly with the decor decisions and really went with our advice on accent pieces, chandeliers, etc. I love when we are really able to just run with a design. I have attached some pictures here of some of my favorite things from the night. Her photogrpaher Tiffani Sunshine Photography came all the way from Virginia, and boy are we so happy with the outcome of the pictures. Some of the images below are setup pictures just from my camera, so forgive those. Enjoy!!




Ceremony on the Beach with a generous arch of roses, hydrangeas, lysianthus, stock, orchids, ivy, etc. All in soft pinks and creams.
Feelin' the love. These two are literally the perfect couple.
So the week of the wedding Megan brought by the portrait by from the engagement session (sorry I dont have that to share right now). I was literally teary eyed. I said "no way all of the pictures can be this good, this is picture perfection!!". I was proven very wrong. She is SUCH an artist!!




Here is an overall decor shot. Chandeliers over four feet tall, miles of white fabric draping and lots of soft pink lighting turned the space into such a soft environment. It was amazing to see the transformtation!

This is one of my crummy shots, but I wanted to show you the white and light wood dance floor we dreamed up for Megan and Connor. I told Megan when we decided to do this that she was going to be the trendsetter of the year for dance floors, and I was right! You wont believe how crazy we are for this floor now!

Just some of my floral shots. I say it all the time to please pay attention to your bars. You really need an accent there. Even if it is something very simple. I found these vases for Megan and this was my gift to them to do two accent pieces on the bars. They fit the theme so well!




Another Stunning shot by Tiffani. The cake by Elaines Events was so simple and pretty and fit the theme so well. We "floated" the cake on glass cubes with just slight touches of seashells and sand to tie in the setting and the save the dates. It was so pretty.





Megan changed into the cutest cocktail dress for the getaway. Still clutching her peony bouquet (her absoulte favorite thing, she wouldnt turn it loose), on her wonderful husband's arm and off into the night in a vintage white rolls.


Thank you to all who were invovled in making this event such a grand success, and thank you Megan and Connor for letting us play a part in your very special day. We love you!
