Creek Club at I'On {Kristen + Nicholas}

I know, I know!  Sorry doesn’t quite make up for the complete lack of blogging that’s taken place on ALW over the past week.  I was off in Boston enjoying a business-related vacay, and while I had every intention of getting a few posts in, faulty hotel internet and the pure joy of being semi-unplugged (minus instagram, you know I can’t give that up!) was kind of awesome :)  So, I apologize for the abrupt pause in your daily dose of Lowcountry wedding inspiration and email response, but I’m now officially back and kicking off this week with a gorgeous Charleston wedding from the talented, Richard Bell Photography.   This Bride + Groom combined a lovely pink and purple color palette with some mouthwatering ham biscuits, sweet potato fries and even some Firefly vodka for a one-of-a-kind celebration at the Creek Club at I'On!

Charleston Weddings {Champagne Cocktails}

If the Lowcountry knows how to do one thing right, it's how to have a good time and, of course, that good-natured spirit always spills over to our weddings!  We love good Southern cookin', a salty coastal breeze and a stiff, fruity cocktail :)  I regularly get asked about fun, new specialty drinks that everyone will enjoy.  Well, I ran across this guide to champagne cocktails and thought it would be very fitting for some of our Lowcountry brides.  Not only would they be perfect for a Charleston wedding, but could hit the nail on the head for a bridal shower, bridesmaids luncheon...or a Tuesday night :) Enjoy!
