Falling Into Monday

We have decided no more Monday blues here… Especially since it’s still 90 degrees in Charleston! But that just means we get create fall weddings that are a melding of the seasons. Like this one, which we want to share just a few details from, noting the fall elements. Some light and airiness mixed with the masculine heft of traditional fall feels. Mixing colors that work across the entire year, but anchoring them accordingly. This airy bouquet complimented our brides fully laced long sleeved gown.

Instead of pairing the sunny yellow with a bright grassy green as we would in spring, a deeper mossy green goes great in all of the wedding printing by Lettered Olive. Before they became “extinct” one of our most popular wedding details were our Polaroid stations. Guests took a polaroid and taped it to a card for their sign in box, or book… I miss these.

For a fall wedding in warmer climates, cauliflower soup is served chilled. The color and feel is right, but refreshing sweet tea vodka martinis make a nice cocktail hour treat.

Textures help convey our design mission often. We used millet grains to fill up the escort card station, for a pop of gold, and for a fall feeling.

Jim Smeal created a tiered “wedding cake” with cupcakes- easy for guests to pick up…

The comfy and cozy lounge glowed in golden light with candles and lamplight as guests were able to watch the sunset and amazing marsh views of Kiawah Island.
