This weekend, Soiree was on Bald Head Island for a wedding. The floral decor involved organic elements to go with the natural setting and cotton was one of our main resources… But, on Bald Head Island, there are no cars allowed and Golf Carts rule… is there an easy way to carry cotton on a golf cart?

Inspiration from High Point

Last week I took a quick trip up to the furniture market in High Point… It’s overwhelming how much amazing stuff there is! Found lots of great stuff to use for weddings, but of course much of it is a bit impractical- GREAT inspiration and fun stuff, so wanted to share:

More cowhide, mmmm… not sick of it yet!

I call this the Wedding Pyramid

Would love to use this for all of our weddings, had such a pretty look in person, but all glass???? Storage would be a nightmare!

Interesting wall piece- very spiritual at the same time

Tara’s Tidbits

Martha Stewart Weddings is celebrating their 15th anniversary and I still get inspiration from them all the time. They had a big party in New York at the new Plaza in conjunction with the bridal show, and I got to attend with one of our Soirettes, Sam…
