The night was just perfect… beautiful weather, a cool breeze, fun music and dancing and delicious food by Tidewater Catering.

The Plantation itself if just stunning and sure wasn’t a bad place to be spending the weekend, even if to be the ones behind the scenes putting on the party … the staff is so gracious, the members so wonderful and the ambience truly one of a kind.

Thanks so much for letting us be a part of this beautiful weekend, Cherokee Plantation!

For the fourth year WED was able to plan and design the annual Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry’s fundraiser gala. This year we decided to create a streamlined, clean look for the museum. For the first time we moved the event from inside the museum to the adjacent lawn… a transformation was to be had!

WED pitched the idea of monochromatic colors varying from whites, greys, silvers and our one “punch” color– citron. We constantly wanted to maintain the intergity of the theme by making sure to utilize the citron in one specific location: guest seating.

Couture linen overlays of kiwi confetti kept things fresh and whimsical while the modern lines of the florals anchored the theme. Fresh pears, green coxcomb, and green cymbidium orchids allowed for an unusual play on “food as art.”

Lighting created the other major component for the event. Over 28 various lighting sources were used thoughtout the two tents… from sheer black shades over chandeliers to drumshades and glossy black crystal chandeliers, and they all blended together perfectly. 

The streamlined aesthetic was carried throughout every detail… from the boxwood balls hanging on the entry gate to the wishing tree to the donation containers…

Congratulations to the Children’s Museum on another successful fundraiser!

Sara received her bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and her law degree from Duke, so was it any wonder her wedding ended up a chic combination of pale Carolina blue, deep Duke blue and crisp. clean white?!

Custom pillows matched the poppy motif from her printing and looked chic on the white leather furniture. The minimalist aesthetic was carried throughout from the white cymbidium stems in clear glass cylinders to the art deco crystal chandeliers…

No detail was spared from the orchid strands on the lanterns to the pale blue rendering of the bridal gown lace on the wedding cake….

AND– just to throw in a little “girly” into the mix, the pergola was lit in a hot pink that deepened as the night went on, ending in a simply stunning display as the bride and groom cut their cake and toasted each other as new husband and wife. Cheers!
