Hooray! It’s always nice to come back home from vacation to good news… and great news this is!
Congrats to Marni Rothschild Durlach and all of the vendors who worked on Kirsten and Paul’s wedding this past October. It was just featured in The Knot’s national magazine and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Check out the new issue of Charleston Weddings Magazine for great tips and tricks… we had several brides featured (p. 4, 64, 88, 95, and 153– are they not all stunners?!) and a great feature on a budget-savvy wedding from this past fall pp. 88-89:
Find the article in the newest issue and here online:
“Considering the state of the economy,” says New York gal Alli Hobbs, “issue number one on most brides’ minds is saving money while maintaining beauty and not sacrificing too much.” Counting herself in that camp, she and her fiancé opted for a small, smart wedding that stretched their dollars. They chose a morning ceremony and brunch reception (less pricey than dinner) with Bloody Marys and mimosas (less expensive than an open bar). And since Alli had a clear wedding day vision, she just needed a top-notch event coordinator to polish it off and pull it together. W.E.D.’s Ellen Robinson typically tackles six-figure affairs but was happy to work with Ali and Mark since the well-thought out (and early) event didn’t call for much manpower. The result? A stunner of a fall fête.
The Location
Alli and Matt booked the Confederate Home, where they hosted a garden ceremony and sit-down brunch on the same property for one rate.
The Attire
The Bride: Alli got a past-season Vera Wang gown at a sample sale, which costs less than a current release.
The Bridal Party: The couple opted for only a matron of honor and best man, who were able to select (with guidance) their own attire.
The Ushers: Male ushers wore their own suits and the couple gifted them ties, which brought the color scheme together.
The details
Décor: Elegant but simple ribbon streamers in purple and green gave a lot of bang for the couple’s buck.
Stationery: A designer pal made the invites, and Alli created programs herself with a color printer, kraft paper, and ribbon.
The Photographer: Setting a strict shooting time limit and opting for an online album (rather than an actual one) to trim photo costs.

Alli and Mark came all the way from Brooklyn to have the Southern garden wedding they craved…
The October wedding was painted purple– with accents of orange to add an autumnal touch. Moss natural elements like bittersweet vine and birds nest added a bit of whimsy for this free-spirited and laid back bride.
The torrential rain on Friday cleared up just in time for their 10:30 a.m. ceremony- whew! Streamers of satin ribbon and strands of green dendrobium orchids framed the couple as they bacame husband and wife.
The cupcake “cake” was a huge hit– who knew so many cupcakes could get eated by 60 people at 11:00 am?!
Each detail seemed to fall right into place… the decor was just so pretty in its simplicity. Congrats to Alli and Mark!
