Here's a sample of their work from a wedding done this past March at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, SC

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heather and Antony were married at beautiful Boone Hall Plantation . The backdrop being the breathtaking avenue of Oaks was…

…Such a romantic setting for a romantic couple!

Their ceremony location was not one of the typical locations clients choose at Boone Hall but since they were hosting such an intimate affair, the lawn area near the historic slave homes was the perfect spot. Here, they could capture all the beauty of the Avenue of Oaks.

The Unexpected….

The design and decor was a bit of the unexpected at the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation.

Heather and Antony loved the crisp clean look of a white wedding- so we added a bit of platinum to set it off.

However, the crystal chandeliers, and cafe lighting mixed with the white fabric draping was a bit different from what you would typically

see at that location…but it worked sooooo well! This was definitely one of our favorites!

Our florist, Judy, fashioned several styles of centerpieces to keep each table unique and interesting.

Here you see a moss covered tray with white dendrobium orchids at varying heights.

We would like to thank Lowcountry Photojournalism for the great photography, Snyder Party Rentals for the Tables, Chairs & linens, Duvall Catering for the Fabulous food and of course…

Heather & Antony for letting us be a part of such a special time in their lives!

All the fabric draping, chandeliers, and gorgeous flowers are Engaging Events creations- thanks Team!

vintage wedding style

Whether you are a bride on a budget or a budgetless bride here is a cool idea that you can use! Vintage is in. It's bigger than big. So if you are planning a vintage wedding start your decor with vintage table design. Mismatched pretty tea cups make beautiful votive holders day or night. For pennies you can aquire these at local flea markets, garage sales, or vintage retail stores or maybe even grandma's house! Add a tin pitcher from an art supply store and some seasonal wildflowers that look like they were freshly picked from the garden and you've got the start of a beautiful shabby chic wedding that your guests will be sharing and duplicating for seasons to come. You can paint the pitcher and stencil a pretty floral design. Go to a local fabric store and pick up "vintage" print design fabrics to cover the tables. If you aren't a seamstress or short on time fabric glue and an iron work wonders for a single event. Have other great ideas? We would love to hear them!
