Thanks so much to Cheyenne and Geoff Schultz, a wonderfully fun and exciting photographer husband-wife team who came down from Charlotte, NC to photograph Kim and Drew’s Legare-Waring House wedding.
Don’t you love being able to work with laid-back and easy-going people? It was so seamless for the Schultzes to work with WED and our team and their clever website name- www.lovetheschultzes – seems appropriate.
I LOVED the colors that Kim and Drew used for their April wedding… and how wonderfully did they photograph, too?? Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this happen!!
Here are a few of their wonderful images, and make sure to check out their blog on this event, too…
Thanks so much to the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith!

You know what, I’m not an inherent girly girl. I grew up between brothers, what can I say??
But there is something so fun and lovely about the feminine details in a wedding from pink roses to a blushing bride.
Jay was SUCH a fun bride and she fully embraced all that was pink. I loved it. Here are just a few of the fun girly girl details:

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.

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!

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.

Unfortunately I’m not talking about the (fabulously funny) show… but we did have our own “platinum” wedding this past February… platinum, black, and white to be exact.
The stormy skies may have dampened anothers day, but I love that the bride proclaimed, “Well, I asked for a gray wedding, right? The weather fits right in!”
It was a gorgeous night…. lots of sparkle, but oh, so chic. Here are a few of the details:
Creeping flowers up black birch branches in custom-tin containers…
Orchids were hung from one of the lounge tents to create an art deco-inspired “chandelier”
Sequined linens paired well with minimalist arrangements…
Silver silk draping and white leather furniture created a hip space…
And the interior rooms for dinner will all about elegance… with a little bling, of course…
We had a silver graphic print designed to meet their mod tastes and carried this throughout the night, beginning with the save-the-dates, then on to the placecards, menus, etc.
The lighting in the dance tent was gorgeous!
Flowers were simple and elegant…
And of course the martini bar was a huge hit…
Beautiful!

This past weekend the weather turned warm just in time for our wedding at Charleston’s most gorgeous new event venue, Pepper Plantation:
The exposed beams, concrete floors and huge mantles screamed “Ralph Lauren” to me- it was an understated kind of chic:
The bride loved an eggplant and green dot overlay we had and really was drawn to the purples… we used various shades from aubergine to smoky lavendar and accented with rich wood tones to highlight the barn-inspired Pavilion.
LOVE these linens– they didn’t compete with the casual-ness of the space yet somehow dressed it up…
The “dot” theme came down even to the vases on the cocktail tables…
And all the printed materials…
And the cake was stunning, designed by Jim Smeal.
Everyone flocked to the tent out back- here’s to 70-degree weather in February- cheers!

I always call the hour before sunset “the Golden Hour” at The River Course Club on Kiawah Island because it always seems that the setting sun hits everything with the perfect glow. This fall 2008 bride wanted to bring out that natural gold light in her decor and a fabulous event resulted…
Rattan furniture created comfortable nooks around the porch, perfectly juxtaposed to the lush tent:
Gold tones shone throughout…
What a stunning view (note to golfers- this is on an award-winning course)!

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!
