I’m so looking forward to this!
The Charleston Museum’s upcoming textiles exhibit, Unveiled: Wedding Fashion and Traditions in the South, on display from January 22 – July 10, 2016, will allow visitors to see how wedding dress styles have changed throughout time and will examine trends and traditions. From orange blossom adornments and blue garters to the magnificent white gown, the Museum will exhibit an array of garments from the early 1800s through the mid- 20th century.
Guests can enjoy favorite post-nuptial jams, delicious food and cocktails and awesome wine and beer, all while taking a look at the new exhibit and learning from museum curators themselves. Ladies are invited to wear their old bridesmaids’ dresses and men are welcome to come in their best suit, something vintage, or something ridiculous, as long as it’s wedding themed!
Tickets are all inclusive and may be purchased online or over the phone at 843.722.2996, ext. 235. Tickets are $40 for museum members and $50 for non-members.

Have you heard the news?? Our own Lettered Olive has teamed up with Grey Ghost bakery to provide custom designed labels for their cookies and any special occasion you can think of. Grey Ghost cookies are made from scratch from age old family recipes right here in Charleston, SC!!!!! I LOVE their Chocolate Espresso and Lemon Sugar varieties but there are so many yum combinations!
Perfect for wedding or shower favors, guest welcome bags, birthday parties, baby showers, or hostess gifts, the labels are also able to be personalized! So thrilled about this delicious collaboration between two local creatives!
