Kate and Grant - Pepper Plantation

I met Kate when she was a wedding coordinator at Middle Place Plantation and we have kept up with each other over the years so it was an honor when she contacted me to help make her most special day run perfectly! The happy couple selected a Sunday in March at Pepper Plantation to exchange their vows surrounded by family and friends; and even though it rained off and on during the day, Kate and Grant were all smiles. Here are a few images from the very talented Patrick Hall of Patrick Hall Photography (www.patrickhallphotography.com)

Thank you to Kate and Grant for letting me be a part of such a wonderful celebration and your lives!

Big Bang for Little Buck!

I love spring! As a wedding planner, it is one of the busiest times of year and there is color everywhere! With weddings almost every weekend, I am constantly hearing brides talk about wanting something different for their wedding but how personalizing and detailing your wedding can be too expensive! Well I am here to tell you that you can personalize and detail your event without breaking the bank! Here are a few examples of how…

Use a Decorative Paper throughout the whole wedding…

You can ask your florist or wedding planner to cover cylinders or centerpiece containers in the paper or line the serving trays with it! Check out http://www.papermojo.com/ and http://www.paper-source.com/ for some great patterned papers. This is a great option to get major bank for buck!

Or you could have a monogram designed for your wedding and use it everywhere…


You could put it on koozies, napkins, stickers, welcome bags and so much more!

Put out a basket of color coordinated flip-flops by the dance floor…


Try http://www.oldnavy.com/ for buying flip flops in bulk! Remember to order several different sizes!

Use throw pillows on existing venue benches or in your lounge area!

Check out www.zgalleries.com or www.cb2.com or Target, Marshall's or T.J. Maxx...

Remember it is not about how much you spend,
it is about how much thought and personality you put into it!
