It’s Heart Ball time Again!

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Slide1

I had such a blast doing the Heart Ball with the American Heart Association last year that I had to do it again!

Slide2

The Charleston event has been growing and last year, its fundraising was ranked third in the nation.  Knowing the large amount of people affected by heart problems, this is such an amazing cause with which to work.

Slide3

West Frasier’s amazing painting was the backdrop for our color palette this year, and the super crazy amazing carpets of the new Crystal Ballroom at the Downtown Charleston Marriott helped imagination run wild!

Slide4

Floral and event designers all over town were nice enough to help me out by dropping in donated centerpieces based on the overall them and palette, and the ever-so-lovely hat ladies greeted everyone with style!

Slide7

I cannot begin to thank some of my fave vendors who were just perfect to kick the night off from Homespun Hoops and Technical Event Company to the AMAZING imagery of Karson Photography.

Slide8

Palmetto Soul kept everyone partying and Event DRS handled all of my whimsical rental needs for satellite events and our wine cellar.  Those stinking gorgeous linens are from my BFF’s at Connie Duglin linen.

Slide9

While everyone seems to have had a blast, the best part of the night was raising record-shattering dollars for the American Heart Association.  If you’re wondering, yes, I am soo signed on for next year ;)

There are some weddings that stick with you.  Weddings where you can see the love of the couple and you feel like their entire day is just the perfect signature of them.

Slide1

For me, Kip and Liz had one of those weddings.  I simply have to share like a billion of Juliet Elizabeth’s fab Photos!

Slide2

Slide3

Not only was it like hanging out with friends D’lish Desserts, Gourmet Bay Catering and Jade Water Designs as I worked with some of my besties, but their happiness just bubbled over into every element.

Slide4

Both are creative people, wonderful wedding photographers in their own rights (check out some of their amazing work with us here) , and Liz a very talented graphic designer.

Slide5

Her own work is evident in the v. cool paper used throughout their big day.

Slide6

Slide8

One of my fave things is finding out what a couple is into together and bringing it out.  What better than showing off some cool antique cameras and a do-it-yourself photo booth!

Slide7

On top of that a family collection of cane poles were out on the dock for everyone to have an interesting past time for the evening.

Long story short, it’s easy to a an amazing wedding when two amazing people fall in love!

Bourbon and Bluegrass

Ike and Ange, or Ikelina, as they came to be known in the planning process, do not get a lot of free time together.  For their May nuptials, all they wanted to do was kick up their Kentucky heels with a great day for guests in downtown Charleston.

In the planning process, ‘organic’ was a word that kept coming out with them, so we kept things simple and beautiful.

Instead of a tent, clean ivory umbrella tables fit into the lovely garden of Thomas Bennett House, which only made the surroundings pop.  I love taking my sketches to Country & Lace, because she always turns out a perfect version of the vision.

Add some bourbon lovers and the bluegrass sounds of Blue Plantation, and you’ve got a relaxed evening of good times ahead.

Fresh herbs and garden roses made things look as if they were there to stay, and the fresh local menu from Gourmet Bay was just as mouthwatering as it was fresh and light.

I loved designing this wedding almost as much as I love the images I got from Karson Photography of it!

It was wonderful meeting so many of you great brides last month!  For those of you who couldn’t brave the weather, here are some shots you missed.

I really wanted to throw out some of the great dress up photos, but I can’t show future brides in the look for their big days!

Be on the lookout for the next one to check out some fun new wedding pros!
