Exit Strategy

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

Fun exits that lead brides & grooms to their happily-ever-after are an important finale to the big day! See some of our favorite ideas below:

Floating Eco Lanterns are a really cool, magical send off!

We haven't done the "Maracas at Midnight" yet- but we think it's a super cute idea! An uber creative way for your guests to say goodbye to you & it also doubles as a favor! Last weekend we used glowing tambourines that lit up in a variety of fun party hues! They had a personalized sticker from the couple that said "You Light up our Lives! Thanks for being part of our Special Day!"

Photographer,  Richard Israel sent us this fun action picture to show what a huge hit they were on the dance floor. Guests even carried them off to the after party at Market Pavilion!

One last look that is a nice alternative to sparklers, is the elegant look of using long taper candles for the send off. They look great in photos & provide a romantic atmosphere to send off the new couple!

Perfect Bridesmaid Lunch

Monday, June 18th, 2012

It’s Summer, in Charleston, and we think the perfect setting for a bridesmaids lunch would be sitting right here, at this beautiful dockside table, enjoying a glass of prosecco, with your closest friends, eating lobster rolls.  Now that’s one amazing afternoon!

Trees!  We are so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by some of the most majestic live oaks on the planet.  With that, we are constantly searching for unique decor to hang from these beauties.  Here are some of our favorites.

Set up a polaroid station and let your guests create portraits!

We dig these lanterns from Crate & Barrel

Lanterns are always a crowd favorite!
