First Event of 2008






What a wonderful way to start the year. With standing room only, this Beaufort couple's 5:30 ceremony at the First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort, South Carolina was just perfect.

The bridesmaids wore dresses of a deep wine, MJ's signature color, and were accented with apple green and ivory bouquets of vendella roses, cymbidium orchids and hypericum berries. The groomsmen wore simple masculine bout's of monochromatic hypericum. MJ's stunning Anne Barge gown was the perfect backdrop for her magnificent bouquet of black magic roses.

Guests were greeted in front of the River House of Coosaw Point with a signature beverage- melon ball prosecco-and welcomed inside as they awaited the arrival of the new couple. MJ's portrait stood in the foyer with a coffee table book of Beaufort as the sign-in book.

The wine and apple green color scheme continued throughout many different decor elements - split pea filled hurricanes, hanging amaranthus and black magic centerpieces, cymbidium orchids galore!

When the couple arrived-The party began! Guests danced the night away, with the bride and groom, to the sounds of "The Mighty Kicks". The new Mr. and Mrs. Simmons left in a vintage 1940 Plymouth that I decorated with a "Just Married" sign and the signature wine ribbons. The couple enjoyed a honeymoon in the Dominican Republic.

Thanks again MJ and Rob for the opportunity to plan your beautiful wedding.
