By Invitation Only...Event Planning & Design

Our awesome couple and families made planning and designing the garden inspired wedding at the modern Columbia Museum of Art easy for their creative partners.

f e r n used the family’s personal vessel collection to create absolutely beautiful floral design throughout the space and add such a familiar touch for them.

Textured linens caught your eye as you stepped into the space while touches of rattan and an elegant garden trellis capped off our beautiful Crisp Event Rentals custom bar.

Love this vibrant summer rehearsal dinner with tropical vibes incorporating orchids, palm fronds, red ginger flowers and more.

Neutral jute linens were topped with elegant beaded glass chargers and a delicate orchid bloom.

21 years ago, I did my first wedding – it was blazing hot and I was by myself. It took place on the iconic University of South Carolina Horseshoe!

Over the past 21 years I have seen the wedding industry evolve into something truly magnificent, and I am so honored that I have gotten to be a part of that.

I’ve watched trends come and go, vendors launch and retire, couples marry and become beautiful families over these years.

Cheers to the future and all it has in store! 🥂🥂🥂

I am one of the luckiest people being able to create beautiful experiences and lasting memories with the people that are most important to them!

I have met some of my best friends on this planet being where I’m at right now and I would not change what I do for anything.

Thank you for everyone who has supported me ever these years, who have stepped up to help me in tough times, and who have laughed and shared a wonderful glass of bubbles to celebrate the triumphs. Thank you for being by my side and making me more than I ever thought I could be (you know who you are 🥰)

The beauty of designing events is the ability to take what someone envisions with color, texture, shape and turning it into a memorable experience.

We love being able to step into a blank space - creating something unique and different each time, that speaks about our client.

This beautiful wedding dinner at 1208 Washington gave every guest “the best seat in the house“ with soft base colors and a lovely pop of green.

Cheers to 53!

As a roll into this next year, I look back on a year that truly was one of the hardest in my life. But I realize that I am the luckiest person- I have such many amazing family and friends that have truly lifted me up so that I could survive that year and tackle this next one with all the excitement and energy possible.

I love that in a year that was so hard, I made more new connections and lasting relationships that I never saw coming, and I will cherish these forever-I want to foster them and grow!

I wish I could write a list of all those that I want to thank but this post would be a mile long.

I’m ringing in this next year on this earth in fine fashion - let 53 begin and let it be SPECTACULAR 😉🥳🎉🍾🥂

Thank you Rae Marshall for capturing this moment!

It’s all in the details {and we love them}!

Whether it is something for everyone to enjoy and make the moment even better or one that only you know about- it makes a difference on wedding day and speaks about YOU!

Don’t forget that it is the little things in life that sometimes mean the most when you look back ❤️

As I pack for trip to the mountains this weekend- I was thinking back on Lindsey and Andrew’s lovely Biltmore wedding!

East Coast Wedding Photographer captured the day perfectly while the couple enjoyed being so very present with all their guests, completely immersed in the experience!!!
