As the winter chill begins to approach Charleston we can’t help but be reminded (and let’s be honest- slightly envious) of Angela & Rob’s St John wedding. Lucky for Ellen she’s off to the Cayman Islands for Engage!11 next week but for now the rest of us will just have to swoon over this Caribbean wedding…

Mandy and David were married at the Daniel Island Club in September and it was one of those wedding weekends in which our entire staff didn’t even feel like we were working at all! It was all so fun and relaxed and our vendors were such friends that it *almost* felt like we were guests ourselves.
The groom was cracking us all up and the bride was so laid back that I don’t think that even if anything DID go wrong she would have been thrown off…
And of course, working with the Daniel Island Club, Juliet Elizabeth Photography, Allure Salon, Old South Barber Spa, Studio R Designs, and Snyder Event Rentals made for an easy and relaxed weekend as well.
Take a look at all the fun times!

Of a bona fide BEACH wedding!
The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island is one of the few places that brides can get that beach wedding they want… and I have to admit, there’s something uber-romantic about hearing the waves crashing behind you during your wedding ceremony…

Do you ever wonder what a wedding planner does for her own wedding?Ellen has been planning weddings in Charleston for over 10 years and when she became engaged, she knew she’d want to escape for a more intimate celebration with her closest family and friends. Caneel Bay in St. John, U.S.V.I is her absolute favorite place in the world so it only made sense to gather there for the seaside soiree.
Here’s a little peak into the absolutely LOVELY wedding of Ellen and Dave….










Whoohoo, Ellen and Dave!!!

Oh, my… this wedding. One of our FAVORITES for many reasons…
Does everyone remember “Hurricane Hanna”- the alleged hurricane that was coming through the lowcountry in September 2008 threatening to destroy all of our carefully planned events?
This bride and groom would have none of that. Kate, a boutique owner (see her adorable shop here) and her groom Ben, a Navy SEAL, were scheduled to go overseas the very next week. So the show had to go on!
Thankfully the winds gave away to an absolutely STUNNING wedding full of thoughtful details and charm. And did we mention how fun it was? From the bride and groom’s first dance to “Super Freak” (a surprise to all the guests) to the Polaroid photo set up complete with dress up props galore, we were all kept entertained.

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!

WED was out at the Rivercourse this past weekend for a lovely Friday wedding with plenty of bright, tropical colors!
Here are just a few pics we took of the bright blooms… just the kind of refreshing burst we all need during this ridiculous heat wave!

WED’s May 2008 wedding was just featured as Wedding of the Week on TheKnot.com!

Sara & Ben in Charleston, SC
Sara and Ben planned a spring wedding at a historic home in Charleston, South Carolina.
Years after falling in love on a graduation trip to Costa Rica, it made sense for College of Charleston alums Sara and Ben to tie the knot in the place that started it all: the storied Southern city of Charleston, South Carolina.
The Bride Sara Givler, 28, attorney
The Groom Ben DeWolf, 29, stock trader
The Date May 17
While Sara was feverishly pursuing a law degree four hours away from Charleston, the couple began a long-distance relationship. When Sara finished up her first-year exams, she and Ben hopped on the first plane to Italy for a romantic getaway. On their third night in Rome, beside the Fontana di Trevi, Ben proposed, and soon the happy to-be-weds began dreaming up plans for their wedding day back in Charleston, the bride’s hometown and the place they’d come to call home.
