April's Tip of the Month~Where's the Book?

Finding a spot for the guest book can be tricky. It doesn't necessarily need a 6 foot table all to itself, and it might get lost amongst all the awesome gifts on the gift table...so where should this extremely important little book go? Solution: a cocktail table! It can be put in a prominent, high-traffic location, and it's the perfect height for your guests, so they don't strain their backs trying to bend over a regular table while leaving their Best Wishes for you! Also, if I notice that many guests aren't frequenting the guest book table, I'll have the band or DJ announce its location at an appropriate time, and that usually does the trick! I would HATE for a bride to flip through a half-empty book post-wedding! Not up in here!! ;-)

Stay tuned for more tips for your special Celebration!

Happy Planning!

Ashley and Rob have Tied the Knot!

April 9 was a beautiful spring day, and Founders Hall was the perfect setting for Ashley and Rob's Wedding. Pink hydrangeas, roses, orchids, and peonies added amazing color to the outdoor setting for the ceremony, while lanterns of shepherds hooks lined the aisle from A Floral Affair. Pink and white Japanese lanterns hung from the porch and swayed in the spring breeze while guests enjoyed post-nuptial cocktails from MixCharleston and a wonderful stationed dinner by New Dream Catering followed by a variety of cupcakes from The Cake Stand--topped with sugar orchids! Two3Ways entertained the entire evening, and Shannon Michele Photography captured the entire event. I can't wait to see those pictures! Congratulations to Charleston Celebrations' NEWEST newlyweds!!

Kelly and Collier are Married!

Congratulations to our first 2011 couple to tie the knot: Kelly and Collier! What a BEAUTIFUL Charleston day it was on Saturday--sunny and warm! The Thomas Bennett House was the perfect backdrop for this elegant wedding! Following the 5:30pm ceremony, guests were greeted with Firefly cocktails in Mason jars by MIX Charleston, while the wedding party had fun taking photos with King Street Studios. After an amazing seated dinner by Newton Farms Catering and scrumptious wedding cake by D'lish Dessert, Kelly and Collier's guests danced the night away to the sounds of local band Permanent Vacation under a gorgeous white tent with chandeliers from Event Works Rentals and florals by Branch Design Studios. What a fantastic start to our 2011 wedding season!
