So proud of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team!  In honor of the big win, I pulled a wedding out of the archives to share today. Our bride, Kate Markgraf played on the US Womens’ World Cup team for 3 years (they were the champions in 1999), played in the Olympics three times, and played on the first professional Women’s soccer club in the U.S, where she earned a Defender of the Year title. Impressive, right?  We worked with Kate and Chris on their wedding in October 2003 here in Charleston.  Liz Banfield shot this soiree for us.

We are noticing more and more couples asking for a playful element at their reception and bringing in some kind of game. Oversized Jenga (Blake and Ryan had one), Croquet, Golf, and the ever popular Cornhole.  We’d love to hear more about what others are seeing out there, or having at their weddings.

This cornhole set is made locally here in Charleston is more like a piece of work. Perfect for a wedding- something you can use on the big day and then keep forever afterwards. We like to make custom beanbags or pain custom sets for our clients, but with these we don’t have to!

When a bride wants us to to her wedding having attended one of our weddings it’s the biggest compliment. Not only is it a  fun new challenge for us to create a different feel and experience for their big day but also find ways to set theirs apart from the previous one. For this couple, we did the groom’s sister’s wedding in the same venue years before, so here’s how we set out to create their celebration! Thank you to Corbin Gurkin for the lovely images.
