With a name like WED, you might not expect that we also LOVE to plan corporate and social events! WED has rebranded in the last year and now our acronym stands for “Wedding. Event. Design.” While we previously focused solely on weddings, we now plan and design a variety of events such as charity functions, social events, and corporate weekends.

This past week we planned a series of evenings for a Canadian Insurance Group on Kiawah, SC at The Sanctuary Resort. The group was all men who were really more interested in having a good time, so we made sure to coordinate fantastic but understated decor that centered around the things they loved: cigars, golf, being outside, the bar, etc.

The first night was planned for the gorgeous Grand Lawn at the Sanctuary, but rain unfortunately moved us indoors to the Oaks Ballroom. Still, the bright tulips, green linens and hammered glass chargers looked just as great inside as they would have looked on the lawn, and we still managed to utilize lanterns and hurricane shades on the adjacent covered patio:

The next night was planned in the Terrace Ballroom… simplicity ruled with open cut calla lilies…

The final night was at Mingo Point for an “upscale BBQ.” Black and white checked table linens were set with local reeds, grasses, and blooms in mason jars… Oysters and apps served straight from the grill led to a dinner of southern BBQ, peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert, and of course, a fantastic humidor of cigars for enjoying around the bonfire….

Kiawah is GORGEOUS, no??
