How much fun is it for us to hear such kind words from friends like Della of The Wedding Row about some of our favorite events… truth be told we really feel like it is our brides who are the ones with the fabulous visions for their event and this was no exception.
During the planning process Beth was struggling to hone in on a color scheme that she loved… in those discussions we discovered that she really was most excited about a white wedding! I love that. Here is a sneak peak of Marni’s gorgeous photos of our gorgeous bride and make your way over to The Wedding Row to see the rest…

Amanda and Sam… love them. You know you have something special when the entire design of the wedding is based around one of the groom’s tatoos. True story!
Green (AKA my favorite color of all time) was permeated throughout the event from the printing to the glassware to the crystal accents on the chandeliers to the lighting in the bar area. I feel like an accurate description for this event would be “rad.” Ha!
Our dear friend Josh Drake took the photos that day- be sure to check out his blog post here. He was the perfect personality for these hipsters and I feel like he captured some awesome candid moments. Take a look!
Isn’t she gorgeous? So calm waiting to go down the aisle!
It was an emotional ceremony… I love to see a groom with sweet tears!
And of course, everyone busts out their iphones 
Ellen came up with this great idea to use some green crystal accents on the chandeliers… I think it was such a sophisticated touch with the green glassware on the tables!
Beautiful flowers by SYG Designs and printing by Studio R:
The birds and flower tattoo was even carried into the cake design by Jim Smeal…
The beautiful bar/lounge area, lighting courtesy of TEC:
I love the girl on the right lounging with her feet up. Just what that’s there for!
These two were Maui-bound and we’re all a little jealous… have fun and CONGRATS, Amanda and Sam!

Whoohoo, how gratifying to see photos of a wedding so quickly after the event… especially the wedding of Whitney and Daniel at The William Aiken House.
Marni took the photos for us and she just always blows us away with both the photos that capture all the candid emotion of the people and also all the beautiful details of the setting… thanks for passing these along, Marni!
And head on over to The Wedding Row to read about all the fun details… I always love her collages from the blog and they really bring the details to life.
Here’s a peak of the lovely October affair…
Congrats, Whitney and Daniel!

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!

All of the WED staff loves Thanksgiving… and we all have so much for which to be thankful this year.
I’m headed home this year to Charlotte, NC and am in charge of the Thanksgiving tables for both a 1pm dinner AND an 8pm supper we’re having that day.
For the dinner I’m going traditional, inspired by our wedding at the William Aiken House this past October:
I’d like to saturate these tones to create something like this, but with a little navy in there, too!

And for Supper… something a little fresher- maybe a dramatic, neutral centerpiece similar to this escort card table we created for a Palmetto Bluff wedding in June:
What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

There are the weddings that take years to plan… countless hours to design and coordinate and dozens of staff to put together. And these are gorgeous!
But then there are also weddings in which everything just seems to fall into place naturally. Dates are open, vendors are magically available, the flowers come in more beautiful than normal, and family and friends come around to create a relaxed, gorgeous, and utterly joyful weekend.
Jim and Becky’s wedding was so much fun for WED to plan, especially since Ellen Robinson and her husband were guests themselves. After we completed the set, Ellen was able to leave her planner cap at home and enjoy the food, drinks, and dancing- whoohoo!
Leigh Webber (be sure to check out her great blog here) was able to capture these beautiful shots of the William Aiken House wedding…
Ellen and her friends relax and enjoy the party!
