Go Mod With Geometric Prints

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Our bride from last weekend gifted her bridesmaids with cute clutches from Oatmeal and Lace, an adorable online boutique that specializes in custom clutches and other handmade goods.

It just so happens that the clutch below is in the same exact pattern that one of our brides has chosen for her wedding this upcoming weekend!

This modern geometric pattern will be used as table runners, pillows etc.

She has also chosen another similar geometric pattern for her save the dates, invitations, and for the signage.


Since her fiance is a professional wake boarder, he had the great idea of using an actual wakeboard to be signed by their guests.

We even got the pattern on the wakeboard!

Talk about original!

We love their creativity – the possibilities are endless…

Charleston Fashion Week

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Fashion Week was founded in 2007 and has quickly become one of the premier fashion weeks in North America, showcasing fashion designers, retailers and models.

We got dolled up on Tuesday night and went to check out the scene…

Here we are with Luke Wilson of Luke Wilson Special Events, grabbing a drink at O-Ku before the show.

We had such a good time. I mean, how could we not! Look how good our seats were! Many thanks to our friends at TEC for the front row tickets! You robots really put on a pretty spectacular production. :)

The featured designers that evening were the vintage inspired Children’s Clothing Designer, Barbara Beach and the ever fashion forward Jamie Lin Snider. Both put forward fabulous collections.

Unfortunately, we missed out on the Spring Bridal Show Saturday morning as we had a wedding of our own. But we heard some really great feedback from friends. Some local bridal designers include:

HEIDI ELNORA – Featured Designer


BELLE COUTURE – Local Designer

BELLA BRIDESMAID – Local Designer  


MODERN TROUSSEAU – Local Designer

 

and Local Designer, Jodi Moylan’s White & Yoyo Designs

Groomsmen Gifts

Monday, March 14th, 2011

OK, so we know the wedding is all about you….BUT, we can’t forget about the groomsmen.

Here are some ideas we have to help you get started:

Personalized Pint Glasses - a barware essential

A personalized flask - we love this one because it’s a little different from your typical stainless steel flask

A Portable Party Cooler – did we mention it comes with a bottle / can opener?

Every guy needs a pocket knife because every guy is “handy”…

Monogrammed canvas beach chairs – awesome!

Last, but certainly not least, Personalized Oyster Shucking Knives by The Charleston Shucker Company

All of these presents are personalized which we love because it shows that you took some extra time to show your appreciation.

 

Black & White Weddings

Monday, March 7th, 2011

A Black & White color palette, although so simple, makes for some of the most striking weddings. The dramatic contrast makes everything pop!

Fresh, crisp and romantic

We love this cake – it’s not your typical wedding cake – who wants their wedding to be typical? Make it stand out!

Try pairing your dress or your bridesmaid’s dresses with earrings similar to these pave pear-shaped  chandelier earrings to keep with the black & white color scheme:

Black & white weddings also make the designing a bit easier because you don’t have to worry about matching the exact shade since there is only one shade of black and one shade of white.

Imagine wearing your beautiful white dress, surrounded by your bridesmaids in their black dresses. You are sure to stand out!
