We’re welcoming in 2015 with a beautiful feature in the February issue of Flower magazine, and wanted to share a sneak peek with you today. Thank you to Liz Banfield for the photos! This beautiful couple is native to Tyler, Texas and we had so much fun planning their wedding in historic San Antonio. The bride’s feminine sensibilities combined with the groom’s love of nature created a chic event with rustic details such as a vintage floral print used as a backdrop for escort cards, topped with antlers for a decorative effect.

Custom tray liners by Lettered Olive created a festive spot for drinks, and custom menu books welcomed guests to their seats. Thousands of pink flowers were layered into every part of the decor, most literally in between each of the five tiers that made up the wedding cake which was displayed under it’s very own tent. Make sure to pick up a copy of the February issue of Flower magazine to see the rest of the images – such a fun wedding! Congratulations Kaylyn and Brad!

new years wedding

Last week we shared a beautiful New Year’s Eve wedding of ours that was featured in Inside Weddings. We had so much fun planning this special event that we thought we would share a few more details from the wedding we celebrated one year ago today! Thank you to Liz Banfield and Adrienne Page for the gorgeous photos.

Guests received welcome bags upon arrival filled with the bride’s favorite champagne and treats from Oklahoma City where the wedding was held. The reception was set up like the ultimate New Year’s Eve bash with rows of lush orchids hanging from the chandeliers and gold fabric draped from the ceiling above a 36-foot custom copper bar. Laser cut candle wrappers served as escort cards, and lit the way for guests to their table, and of course it’s not New Year’s without ever-flowing champagne (we mixed ours with St. Germain!).

The party really got started when women checked their high heels at the shoe check and hit the custom dance floor, where they stayed until the wee hours of the morning! Sequin tablecloths set a festive tone and flickered against the glow of the candles. Lamps on each table added to the ambiance and gold flatware and gold embroidered seat covers for all finished the look. We served a big breakfast just after the clock struck midnight as a fun way to ring in the new year! Cheers to the sweetest bride and groom ever – Lindsey and Sean! Happy anniversary!

We had so much fun at New York Bridal Week earlier this month and were thrilled to partner with Charleston Weddings magazine on a fabulous event at Ramscale Studio in the West Village. We hosted all of our industry friends to celebrate the amazing fashion coming down the runways at Pier 94, but the most exciting fashion moment was joining in the launch of Lula Kate designer Katherine McDonald’s signature line of wedding dresses. I also loved seeing two former Soirée brides that live in the city and stopped by to catch up. Aren’t they so cute in the photo above?! We’re happy to share some photos of the event with you today, and must thank Melissa Bigner of Charleston Weddings, Ramscale Studio for hosting us, and of course Lucy Cuneo for these stunning images!

Loving the new issue of Charleston Weddings magazine that features one of our Soirée brides Kelly Broad. Make sure to grab a copy, and see a sneak peek here. And how amazing is the view from Ramscale?!

We made sure ever guest had a gift bag (a Soirée signature) and loved these with a map of Charleston on the front to represent all of our Charleston friends in town for the event. We also had copies of our Weddings book there for guests to take home.

Everyone loved the cocktails made with mixers from Charleston-based Bittermilk… with packing that beautiful, who could resist?! All of these elements made for a stunning event, and we loved spending the evening with some of our favorite people. We’re already counting down until next year!
