Courtney & Tom are Married!

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Courtney & Tom’s wedding is exactly what little girl’s dreams are made of! Let’s start from the beginning…

On a flight to New York City to visit his daughter Mr. Lewis sat next to Tom, who just happened to be about the same age as Mr. Lewis’ daughter. After a long plane ride & many jokes later Mr. Lewis invited Tom for drinks in the city to meet his daughter, Courtney, & wife, Mrs. Linda. From that night on Tom was smitten with Courtney. It took several dates but Courtney finally gave into Tom’s charm & he got his girl!

The WED team first met Courtney two years ago when we were planning her best friend’s wedding in Charleston. After Courtney & Tom’s engagement Courtney got in touch with us & the planning was underway! I knew Courtney & I would be two-peas-in-a-design-pod when she sent us pictures of her favorites stores, rooms, outfits, & events (the best way for us to get to know our Client’s overall style), including my absolute favorite Eddie Ross tablescape!

Fast forward to September 16, 2011 to Courtney & Tom’s wedding at The Club at Natirar. Formerly owned by the King of Morocco, Natirar sits atop a 500 acres of pristine land… talk about a view!

What makes this story even better? A Vera Wang gown, custom jewelry from Mark Ingram, Billy’s Cupcakes, a dapper little pup, pink & orange ikat, ginger jars galore, bright orchids, a 1960 Austin Princess Rolls Royce- I’d say this is as close to perfection as it gets!

Get ready to swoon…

An Afternoon at The Ocean Course

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

We’re always so excited to hear from past Brides & their families, especially when we’re asked to do another family member’s wedding… a sure sign that we’re doing our jobs well & creating lasting memories! A few years ago we planned Lauren’s wedding & this past summer we did her sister’s wedding. Kim & John, were married at The Ocean Course, on Kiawah Island, & their main focus was to emphasize Kiawah’s gorgeous setting!
