We are so excited to share photos our NYC take on a Southern BBQ Supper. Our groom loves Charleston and all things Southern, so it was fun to bring our flair to the City-ya’ll!

the bride and groom picked the points that got them where they are today; i didn’t eat anything that night but did try one of these mini BBQ burgers, they definitely give any pulled pork sammy a run for it’s money; we had fabrics in complimentary patterns that we cut with scalloping scissors and affixed the butler cards to- attached with clothespins it was like a backyard laundry line!

Our cute Sam greeted guests in his red and white gingham shirt; the tables were long family style tables with ticking striped runners; guests drank PBR out of cans and these koozies

Beautiful bride and groom at their dessert table; me with the MOG and Groom, such a sweet family.

Guests had red candied apples at their seats; the vases were birch bark with the cupid heart and initials etched from Etsy.com, mercury glass votives made the room glow, and the menus were printed on paper bags that held the red and white dishtowel napkins.

I loved the adorable invites from The Lettered Olive…

unfortunately I didn’t get any photographs of them, but I loved the wooden drink stirrers that we did for their speciality drinks as well as the napkins for passed hors d’eouvres which I wanted to share…
