If anyone has had the pleasure of visiting the Montage Palmetto Bluff, you have experienced first hand that there is another scene stealing location here in the Lowcountry. Smaller and quietly off the beaten path, the scenery and experience here is top notch and make it a perfect spot for intimate weddings. Naturally, we are thrilled when we are asked to design events here, it always makes for some lovely photos…
We’re taking a look back at this perfect pocket sized welcome booklet for a Charleston wedding weekend. All the important information for the weekend events and a guests’ guide to Charleston along with personal photos of the couple were all laid out and designed by Lettered Olive and Soiree to coordinate with the rest of the wedding paper design. The couple chose some of their favorite restaurants they like to dine in while visiting and filled in with recommendations from us. Any “sights”, and favorite shops and art galleries they had seen over the years and enjoyed were mentioned. Then, research was done on local historic facts, and recipes from the wedding caterer were shared. These were waiting for guests in the welcome bags when they arrived in Charleston, and were the perfect size for men to keep in their pockets, or ladies to toss in a bag.
When you are in the industry and get engaged, its a planning flurry! When you are an in demand wedding photographer the pressure is on for amazing photos of your own. We were thrilled when Gayle Brooker came to us to help her plan her big day. And, since she had assisted Liz Banfield on so many shoots over the years, Liz stepped in to capture all of the moments for her. Inspired by elements of nature, wilflowers, butterflies, and natural wood were key pieces in the design elements. The ceremony and reception took place at Lowndes Grove Plantation, one of the most sought after venues in Charleston.
