I’m in NYC this week to represent The Lettered Olive at the National Stationery Show. If you’re in New York for the show, please come and check us out, booth #2166!
The girls are hosting a Southern Sip N See with all of the fixings- Lowcountry Lemonade (our famous recipe), cheddar wafers, ham biscuits, and chocolate covered pecans. So much fun!
Hi Y’all! It’s the start of a new week and I hope you all had a great weekend and I hope all the moms had a beautiful Mother’s Day. It’s a busy week for us at Soirée, oh yes, it’s always busy around here and we totally love it. Lots of running around today as we are hosting a celebration relaunch of The Lettered Olive later this week. More news coming soon but for now, celebrate this beautiful day. I’m off to get started on my “to do” list!

Something in the crisp air and the shorter days seems perfect for weddings to me. This first weekend in November typically proves to be a favorite wedding weekend year after year… Here is a recap of some of our past faves.

Since we have shared the images from this wedding at Kiawah Island in our book and numerous publications, I wanted to share a few quick details from the thursday night Welcome Party instead. I just love the color combination of the deep teal (which was also used at the wedding) and the vibrant deep crimson.

This 2006 wedding at the Daniel Island Club plays on the elements of the season using fresh pomegranates and branches throughout the decor…

This wedding at the Carolina Yacht Club remains one of Soiree’s staff favorites. There is no way to describe how warm and glowing this room was… You should see the space before we transformed it, old cafeteria linolieum tiles, drop tile ceilings, etc.
I had the pleasure to meet one fascinating and well known interior designer in New York last week…..Vincente Wolf..He has two new books out…a must see or have!

My husband and I just bought a house in an area of Charleston that will allow “farm animals” in reason to residents. We have a huge backyard with a shedded area and I’m honestly considering getting some chickens. How amazing to have your own fresh eggs. Of course, these coops are much more my style then old school wired ones.
