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!

This couple was such a joy as you can see shining through from their photos. We planned this wedding weekend (New Year’s Eve rehearsal dinner, New Year’s Day wedding) at Marlsgate Plantation in Arkansas from afar with only one site visit. Oh, and the groom was running for political office, the bride on the campaign trail with him and finishing up law school. Of course it all came together and couldn’t have been more perfect. Liz Banfield photographed this fete for us. Lettered Olive did all of the pretty papers.
