Maggie and Jonathan's Reception - Beautiful and Personal

I love this picture of the bride.  Doesn't it just say a happily relaxed bride?

Maggie and Jonathan's reception was both beautiful and personal.  Besides the beauty of the flowers, tables and lighting there were lots of special personal details we added to make the reception their own.


These are just some of the details that were added to the reception.  Pictures of the parents wedding day were displayed around the cocktail area.  We also placed some of the bridal portraits throughout the area.  The bridal portraits by Jacob Dean were so beautiful and there was a romantic story behind the ones done on the Clemson campus.  They were taken in the same spot that Maggie's father proposed to her mother and then Jonathan picked that spot to propose to Maggie.


We had bathroom baskets in both the men's and women's bathroom with all sorts of items guests might need during the reception.  These were a big hit with the guests.  It's all the little details that make guests remember a reception as special.



Guests were greeted at the door by the couples initials in lights on the ceiling (see earlier blog pictures) trays of fruit and cheese and butler passed hot appetizers.  There was also a special wine bar at the entrance along with a full bar and more food available in the lounge area.



We used the tables from the site but we brought in all the linens, chairs and lighting to make the room actually what the couple had in mind.


Guest were entertained by the amazing band Riptide out of Orangeburg, SC.  These guys were fantastic.  The dance floor was packed all night with people showing some pretty amazing shagging skills.  Beach music was a favorite of the bride and her family.




During the night there was a special surprise guest.  The Clemson Cub showed up to dance and have pictures made with the guests.


At the close of the evening guests were served hot sugar cookies and given slices of cake in monogrammed bags to take home with them.

Bottles of bubbles were handed out to guests who lined up to wish the couple good luck and happy honeymoon.
