This springtime affair took place at a sweet little spot that’s a little off the beaten path. A private yacht club about half an hour outside of Charleston, but it’s position at the tip of an island means the backdrop is nothing but water views. It’s a very old and rustic building, so we always have lots to consider when making it wedding ready. The area was special to the bride, having grown up spending summers there. Not only that, but this sweet bride interned for us and I’ve known her family for years, so we couldn’t wait to make her day extra lovely.  Thank you to Corbin Gurkin for these photos.

We had so much fun at New York Bridal Week earlier this month and were thrilled to partner with Charleston Weddings magazine on a fabulous event at Ramscale Studio in the West Village. We hosted all of our industry friends to celebrate the amazing fashion coming down the runways at Pier 94, but the most exciting fashion moment was joining in the launch of Lula Kate designer Katherine McDonald’s signature line of wedding dresses. I also loved seeing two former Soirée brides that live in the city and stopped by to catch up. Aren’t they so cute in the photo above?! We’re happy to share some photos of the event with you today, and must thank Melissa Bigner of Charleston Weddings, Ramscale Studio for hosting us, and of course Lucy Cuneo for these stunning images!

Let’s start with the dresses shall we? Seriously stunning! Katherine showcased them throughout the venue for an absolutely beautiful display.

Loving the new issue of Charleston Weddings magazine that features one of our Soirée brides Kelly Broad. Make sure to grab a copy, and see a sneak peek here. And how amazing is the view from Ramscale?!

We made sure ever guest had a gift bag (a Soirée signature) and loved these with a map of Charleston on the front to represent all of our Charleston friends in town for the event. We also had copies of our Weddings book there for guests to take home.

Everyone loved the cocktails made with mixers from Charleston-based Bittermilk… with packing that beautiful, who could resist?! All of these elements made for a stunning event, and we loved spending the evening with some of our favorite people. We’re already counting down until next year!
