What is Your Rain Plan?

Here in the Upstate of South Carolina, we never do an outdoor wedding without a rain plan.  The weather can change just too quickly to not be prepared.  Normally, we have an indoor area we can move to or have a tent brought in to cover the situation.  But I saw this picture on Jasmine Starr's blog and if no other option is available this makes for a pretty clever rain plan.  They handed out umbrellas for everyone in matching colors and the minister shortened the ceremony to just six minutes.  Very clever indeed!

How Do You Know the Bride?

I saw this really cool idea on Preston  Bailey’s site and I just had to share it.  What a fun idea for your rehearsal dinner or maybe even your reception.  I would think it is a sure fire way to get your guests talking.  Just have a childhood picture of you and one of your groom made into buttons, for team Bride or team Groom.  Have guests pin on a button and start explaining how they know you.  Love it!

Simpsonville Bridal Fashion Show

Last weekend, I was delighted to direct a bridal fashion show for Carolina Bride and Groom. The show took place at Holly Tree Country Club during the Simpsonville Bridal Fair. I thought you might like to see a few of the beautiful dresses that went down the runway. The models were all customers of Carolina Bride and Groom. Some were future brides and the rest were past brides. All the ladies and the two guys did a fabulous job. It was a lot of quick changes and behind the scenes craziness but it all turned out beautifully. I can’t wait to do it again.
