A fun and relaxing vineyard wedding

Joann and Dan were an amazing couple to work with. Joann's main concern was making sure her guests  would be kept comfortable and have fun in a relaxing environment. The wedding was just what the couple wanted and I'm confident guests are still talking about how much fun they had at the wedding. 



Water and lemonade was placed at the start of the aisle for guests to help themselves to before the ceremony. Vases of Dahlia's were placed on each table to bring in the couples colors. The chuppah was handmade by the bride's family and was accented by potted plants. 


Button mums in yellow with grasses wrapped in jute were worn by the groom and other 
male members of the bridal party. 


The kiddish cup and plate for the ceremony were engraved and are beautiful keepsakes
 for the bride and groom. 


Fans were placed on each chair for guests to keep cool.

The vineyards at Willow Harbor provide a great backdrop for cocktails on the patio. 


A menu highlighting the couples favorite drinks was a great way to personalize the cocktail hour.


Plants flanked each side of the walkway at the entrance to the tent.


Purple lanterns brought a lot of color into the tent as well as the arrangements. Small vases were filled with Dahlia's and tall vases were filled with purple delphinium and greens.



The short arrangements brought in color and texture. Vases were filled with Dahlia's and variegated pittosporum. 


Escort cards were vintage style tags hung from twine at the entrance to the tent. They looked stunning blowing in the wind. 



Homemade jam was sent home with guests as favors. They were packaged by the 
couples own family and friends. 


Pictures of the bride and grooms parents and grandparents were hung
 above the dessert table. 


Instead of traditional wedding cake a buffet of homemade pies were available for guests. Family and friends from as far away as Ohio baked pies for the reception. The whole event was amazing and guests were able to kick back, relax and enjoy Joann and Dan's fabulous wedding.

Charming & Chic Home Wedding

This past August we were given the wonderful opportunity of working with a local family on planning an "at home" wedding. The bride was specific on incorporating an amazing color palate of gold, orange and pink. We took it from there to create an amazing wedding that even the rain earlier in the day couldn't dampen. 


A close up view of the tables reveals gold runners and napkins accented with chiavari chairs. Centerpieces in antique clay containers consisting of Roses, Dahlias and Hypericum Berries. Favors of honey from the couples new the couples new residence of Charleston were a huge hit and brought in the couples wonderful color palate.

Champagne glasses surround a centerpiece of roses. Guests grabbed a glass at toasting time and gathered at the bottom of the grand staircase to wish the bride and groom well.

To give guests some more energy to continue dancing through the night NFE brought in a hotdog cart to serve guests a late night snack. Guests could customize their hotdogs to their liking.
