Golden night

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

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)!

Urban Elegance

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

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!

"Hamptons" Rehearsal

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Lauren and Kevin’s rehearsal dinner was best described by the bride herself- “Hamptons chic.”

She knew exactly what she wanted for her rehearsal dinner. Since every guest was invited, she wanted it to be quite different than the wedding but still just as refined and sophisticated. Their Kiawah wedding was to be filled with lowcountry favorites (from sweetgrass baskets to shrimp and grits) so they decided for the night before to bring the familiarity of the Hamptons (their regular vacation spot) to Kaiwah! Pure white raw silk linens, pitchers of hydrangea and natural chivari chairs were perfection… I was ready to pack it up and head up to the Hamptons myself!
