Parker's Favorites

In June, we got the opportunity to work with the very talented Parker Pfister on Sarah and Ralf's June wedding. Stay tuned for our Friday Feature on Parker's work. Until then, enjoy his favorites from Sarah and Ralf's Big Day.

(We recommend enjoying the images with a big cup of coffee on this cold day)

2013 Wedding Trends

As we peruse the web, magazines, and beyond searching for the latest and greatest in wedding trends we find some trends we think are hot and some...well, not (which we won't mention).

HERE ARE OUR TOP 5:

No. 5

1920's inspiration...we think this fashion is the "bee's knees"!

via Pinterest

No. 4

Birds. We would use as a motif or perhaps these cute little guys for a cake topper

via Pinterest

No. 3

Release lanterns! We used these at one of our May 5 weddings this year and it was amazing! Perfect for a send off over the water.

No. 2

Not an old concept but now jazzed up a bit, Birch Lighting. We can definitely see these in some of our 2013 designs.

No.1

MINT! The color of the season is one we've loved for a while at A.R.E. We would use this tone in any way possible! In decor, fashion, jewelry, etc.

Lowcountry Shoot : The Oaks Plantation on the Chowan Creek

At the close of the dog days of summer, we had the opportunity to work with some of our lowcountry friends on location at the Oaks Plantation. The Oaks Plantation is nestled under draping oaks on the Chowan Creek on St. Helena Island. We were inspired by the overflowing kumquat trees. We took their orange and green hue and ran with it. We hope you enjoy. Special thanks to our friends at: Lowcountry Produce, Susan DeLoach Photography, Amazing Event Rentals, Nancy Dennis Calligraphy and Watercolors and The Oaks Plantation.
