My Thoughts on the Royal Wedding

Yes, yes, I got up at 4:00 am and watched the royal wedding.  Are you kidding?   Did you think I would miss it?  I was really looking forward to it and it did not disappoint.  I thought the royal couple looked spectacular.

 I thought the maid of honor nearly stole the show in her perfectly fitted dress.

The flowers were pretty, I would have liked it to be a little more over the top, but still not bad.  The run on lilies of the valley flowers will probably be huge (but don’t count on using them, unless you go silk, they are uber expensive and very delicate.)

I thought the real scene stealers were the guests and their outfits, especially the hats.  Wow, not being a hat person myself, I had no idea that there were that many different over the top creative hats out there.  I’m wondering if hats are going to be the next big thing here in the US.  I’m not sure how I would feel about that.  I love looking at them, but I’m not sure I want to wear them.

My main hope for the effect of this wedding on weddings here is South Carolina, is maybe we can move away just a little from the more relaxed weddings and move back toward the more traditional elegant weddings.  That's where my heart really is.

SC Island Wedding - Easter Weekend


Not many people are lucky enough to get married on a private island, but Howard and Emily were.  We were lucky enough to be invited to help out.  It was a beautiful, but very warm and windy Saturday afternoon on an island right off of Folly Beach, SC, a perfect day for a small intimate wedding.

I thought you might enjoy seeing a few pictures.
