Charleston Wine + Food Festival 2013

This weekend was the annual BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival ®. We were extremely proud to participate and design several of the exciting events along with Charleston Stems.

We designed This Little Piggy: Pop-Up Market presented by Rachel Ray, which took place at the beautiful Lowndes Grove Plantation on the Ashley River.  This Little Piggy is an event that brings in some of the country’s greatest chefs to prepare dishes using different parts of a pig.  Check out some of the gorgeous décor that we put together for this fun, country theme event.

We were also happy to be in charge of the design for the Lowcountry Jazz Brunch presented by Motley Rice LLC and The Post & Courier.  Some of Charleston’s best restaurants and caterers served three course meals as a guests enjoyed live entertainment by The Mark Sturbank Group, featuring Quiana Parlor and Quentin Baxter.  Guests were greeted with bright spring colors for this Sunday morning brunch.

Ultimate Critics Dinner

When RLE was asked to design the decor for the Ultimate Critics Dinner for the Charleston Wine and Food Festival, we were excited for several reasons. One, we get to watch as some of the best chefs in Charleston put together an amazing meal and two, the venue! The dinner took place at the historic Ashem Farm. Not to often do we get the opportunity to work at a new venue and Ashem is off the charts beautiful! The progressive cocktail party was followed by a 4 course seated dinner by an all star list of chefs.  If only we could have tasted the food.  Also, a big thank you to Charleston Stems for doing a wonderful job with the flowers.

Happy + John - Martha Stewart Weddings

We are beyond ecstatic to see Happy and John featured in the new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.  Of course we say this about all our clients, but we absolutely loved working with Happy and John.  They picked the beautiful Lowndes Grove Plantation for their December wedding.  After a heartfelt ceremony, their guests enjoyed cocktails in the main house followed by intimate seated dinner outside under a white tent. With help from DJ Wade, the bride and groom and their guests danced nonstop late into the night.  In addition to cake, klondike bars were served for a tasty treat.  Pick up the latest issue to see the amazing photos from the talented Tec Petaja and unique florals from Charleston Stems.
