Rain on your wedding day is good luck for your marriage.  The Tanners had an outdoor wedding that was truly wrapped in romance as a rain shower minutes before the ceremony allowed Yoj to not only execute a rain plan, but also for the couple to lose the world and see only each other as mist hung around them in the air and around their gorgeous florals created by Country and Lace Florist.  Mobile Marriage assisted with officiating.  Kelli Nixon, Coastal Media Group,  immortalized the smiles and sunshine brought by the guests and Regal Catering provided southern fare to bring this southern afternoon on the plantation full circle.  Artistic Cakes by Linda made a statement about the couple’s love of the beach and lowcountry while Charleston Heritage Entertainment had every moment set to the perfect rythm from ceremony to goodbyes.  Yoj enjoyed not only meeting the couple, but providing everything from favors to atmosphere to make their special day special.  How to have your day feel like home:

• if outside, have a rain location and love it
• walk through set up and ideas for decor with your coordinator for both sites
• plan for the elements including the mosquitos
• find ways to decorate that will incorporate the location’s style

The weather was clear and the breeze perfect for the bride’s last bit of quality time with close girlfriends and family at her Bridal luncheon.  Held at a family friend’s house, the ladies enjoyed a light lunch and a sharing of stories.  Yoj geared everyone up for the weekend with delectable desserts and decor from their private stash selected just to match the bride’s bubbly persona.  While different from the wedding decor, the luncheon flowed right into the wedding weekend theme.

Smiles filled the sunny day for the Stockman garden party wedding in Charleston.  The bride & groom exchanged vows in the beautiful First Baptist Church in downtown Charleston and then sped over (via corvette) to the Holliday Alumni Center at the Citadel for a fun and festive reception catered by  Aramark.  The day was filled with bright colors and a lot of music by Jay Maxwell’s DJ to keep this energetic group happy.  Lighthouse Digital Video documented the memories made and Country & Lace Florist found the perfect shade of pink to keep everyone smiling as they looked at the bouquets. Have your day resonate your personality: 

•  Find and create beautiful planters (or have Yoj handle it) that not only make centerpieces and decor unique but will hold on to the memory for years to come
• Select colors to match your personality and the season
• Have one decor item created just for you (ie. woven mats for the center of the tables)
• Incorporate family into your day (nothing could have been more special than the bride’s father being able to marry the couple
