Bridal Portraits on your Wedding Day

Taking bridal portraits is certainly an exciting wedding rite of passage, but let’s be honest: these days who really has the time for that? With most of our brides being a plane flight away from Charleston and in busy careers, many are opting to take their “portraits” on the actual wedding day.

Looking at these GORGEOUS photos of one of my favorite brides, Tara, by the super-talented Virgil Bunao of CVI Photography, I’d say wedding day bridal portraits can be a smashing success:

And here’s with her sweet new husband… what a wedding!

Thank you so much to the talented folks at Weddings Unveiled Blog for featuring one of our fabulous couples on their site!

Suzanne and Ben were married just over a year ago- December 27th, 2008 to be exact- and we loved planning their thoroughly unique and charming wedding. I loved how she wanted a winter wedding that featured bold tones and plenty of personal touches…

THANK YOU to Weddings Unveiled for the lovely storyboards of their wedding, and for the ever-talented Corbin Gurkin for the beautiful shots of the evening…

Happy Anniversary, Suzanne and Ben!

Here’s to safe travels for all those flying and driving north for the holidays… and for many just a few flurries for us in Charleston, too?!?!?

CHEERS!

Holiday Drop-In at WED

Right now we’re planning several winter-time galas and Christimas parties… searching for inspiration, I went back into my photos and realized I never shared photos from WED’s 2008 Christmas Party! I know, I know… we just got through Labor Day. But simple ideas can translate into any type of event.

This is in our design center. We set up a coffee and cidar bar and the self-serve aspect lent to the casual-ness of the evening. Homemade cookies and peppermint bark was inviting- particurally to me, if I remember correctly (!). We kept the flowers simple throughout… here a mass of green dendrobiums!

Granville’ catered the event for us and brought their specialties like goat cheese-stuffed African peppers, grilled pimiento cheese bites, and rare roast beef on crostini.

A bouquet of red ranunculus added zing to the champagne station we set up at the front of our office!

Cheers to another great holiday 2009 just a few months away!
