Charleston Style

A very Charleston celebration ensued for the Ormond wedding.  With both ceremony and reception at The Citadel, guests celebrated in true Charleston fashion.  Iron Gate Events served up a healthy helping traditional local fare and hospitality.  Guests smiled as their moments were captured by A Charleston Wedding’s fabulous team and Jack Harris videography.  Keepsakes Florist and Cover Me Chairs brought a flair with beautiful bouquets and arrangements. To pay homage to your roots or your event’s host city:

  •  Use favors that are a signature (in this case, sweetgrass baskets and programs mounted on woven fans)  edibles also work, like honey from Savannah Bee Company or Benne Wafers in Charleston
  • Pick a location that really plays up this theme 
  • Use florals that are seen locally (ex. Hydrangeas that are seen everywhere in town)
  • Have a cultural consultant; your coordinator or whomever takes on this role should really dig into the traditions of the people or area to carry a theme throughout your event

Birthdays with Style

Under a cloudless sky, the Forsyth family rang in a few 70th Happy Birthdays for their grandparents.  Yoj ensured the family, vacationing from New Jersey and several other states, had a relaxing a fun time and relieved the stress of throwing an intimate gathering in a town where they knew no one.  Deep South fare was served aplenty by Regal Catering and everyone toasted and enjoyed a great atmosphere of beach music and salt air on the Isle of Palms.  Dessert was served up by Le Gateau, and a fabulously flawless time was had by all.
