Flashing back this Friday to US Women’s Soccer Team alumni, Kate Sobrero’s Halloween wedding. This intimate affair took place at Hibernian Hall, a historic venue in downtown Charleston, SC. Since it was over Halloween weekend, we wanted to offer a fun yet still sophisticated and special evening for the guests. Escort cards for dinner were placed on individual mini pumpkins, and surrounded what would later become a take home candy bar.
Guests dined at 12 top rectangle tables, I like the set up of those as it makes it much easier than round tables to fit more into a space. And much easier for guests to enjoy conversations with multiple people. Candles were everywhere filling the room with warmth.
The tables were dressed in deep red crushed velvet linens with simple pillar candles, and rustic wrought iron candlesticks topped with rose balls of Black Magic and Gospel Dark red roses. The glow bouncing off the deep hues made you want to sidle up with your glass of red wine and settle in.
Since calla lilies were the main flower used for the wedding party, a burgundy calla lily adorned each guests place setting.
Again, dark burgundy calla lilies filled the bridesmaids’ bouquets and were perfect against their black dresses.
Calla lilies provided a deep red pop of color to the all white wedding cake.
A scoop your own candy bar made for a fun send off at the end of the evening.
Fragrant seeded eucalyptus paired with the dark red roses gave a festive look to the horse drawn carriage the bride and groom took from their church ceremony to the reception venue.
Lettered Olive designed all of the classicaly designed printed pieces. The save the dates featured die cut edging, and an image of the Palmetto Bluff oak trees draped in spanish moss. The pale pink envelopes with the black calligraphy was just a small twist on tradition that paid off. The letterpress invitations featured our custom wedding monogram. Guests were welcomed with custom printed map totes of of the resort filled with all branded goodies, of course. 
Ceremony programs were die cut in fashion of Southern fans- due to the size of the quaint chapel some guests would be seated outside and October is still quite warm here in the South. 
Aren’t the pink agate slates so stunning with hand written calligraphy as our wedding signage???? Baskets of flip flops were placed around the dance floor for guests wanting some relief before dancing…
Sparklers were passed out with custom printed matchbooks by Lettered Olive for the send off… The happy couple drove off into the night after the “Best Day Ever”… You can see more of this wedding on Inside Weddings.
