Happy Wedding Wednesday… Today, we are showing you our Brides Magazine features, which we are so thrilled about and proud of. We’ll be able to show you more from these weddings right here on the blog soon! Both weddings were shot by Corbin Gurkin, one in Newport, Rhode Island, and the other here in our backyard of Charleston, SC.

Both ladies, long time best friends and business partners (designer and owners of Dee Hutton and Dee Hutton Bridal) were integral in each other’s wedding especially through the dress design… but you can read more below and stay tuned for future wedding posts with more gorgeous photos from these two!

Happy Monday!  Today I wanted to share one of my new favorite ideas- Chic Sketch! Chic Sketch is a live fashion illustration service and a new & innovative way to turn your wedding photos and guests into custom fashion sketches.

– Wedding Chic Sketch Kiosk with real fashion illustrators. It’s like a photo booth but better, because we sketch you and your guests!

– Pre Wedding and Post Wedding Sketches- On this note, I think having sketches of each of your bridesmaids done to ask them to be a bridesmaid would be such a sweet and personal idea.  And, using your sketch on to make custom notecards with your new married name after the wedding would be so great!

-They are also starting to make great gift items like cell phone covers and picture frames, which would also be a fabulous engagement gift for any friends getting married, hostess gift around the holidays, or wedding party gifts.

A big hit that we have been finding as part of our guest welcome bags are our E.R. Kits.  We’ve done a variety of these over the years with different contents and containers. Today, we’re sharing tips on putting together your own “E.R. Kit”.

For this kit, to compliment the canvas and leather tote that was the Welcome bag, a small canvas zipper tote housed standard emergency items like band aides, pain relievers, and sunscreen. But, consider your wedding location as well. For this Aspen wedding, mini Oxygen sprays were included for altitude adjustments.

We have recently been working with a new company, Packlane to create custom printed boxes.  Lettered Olive works with us and our clients to design something that works with the wedding or party theme and then Packlane prints the containers- love it! The blue box housed interactive invitations for a 7 year old birthday party we did for a client recently, so they are perfect for custom mailers too!

For a recent client marrying in Charleston, we listed out all of the contents on the bottom of the box to minimize printing expenses and packaging inside the box.

For this fall Charleston wedding, contents included everything needed to survive the Lowcountry when we have our wonderful fall weather. Bug spray is a must- and here we have it combined with sunscreen- perfect! There are plenty of online sources for this spray so you can find your favorite.

We’ve had lots of requests lately as well for “Hangover” cures. Some of our favorites are Emergen-C packets and Party Smart pills.
