RLE featured on Style Me Pretty!

Lauren and Joe's June wedding at the Ocean Course at Kiawah was featured by Style Me Pretty today.   Complete with a simple sage and yellow beach theme, perfect weather, a bagpiper and a variety of delicious mini cupcakes, this big day could not have been any better!  Click here for pictures and more information about their beautiful day at Kiawah.

A British Affair

We spent this past weekend at Lowndes Grove for the wedding and reception of one of our favorite couples!  This sweet couple lives in London and wanted to bring a little bit of London to their Charleston wedding.  Check out the pictures below!

 Fish and Chips were served in a wrapped newspaper along with some mushy peas.

 The Charleston City Paper made the wraps look even cooler!

 Pies in several flavors were served in addition to wedding cake.

The winner of the morning golf tournament won this AWESOME blazer.

A Sweet Welcome to Charleston

Since Charleston is the No. 2 wedding destination (behind Vegas...), guests come from all over to join the happy couple for their wedding weekend!  We've been making welcome boxes like crazy for the past few weeks and wanted to share some pictures.  Our couples have used gable boxes, kraft bags, had custom stamps made and created awesome welcome messages that included dining suggestions, maps and a sweet note!

Improving the Escort Card

We're constantly trying to come up with a different, new way to make the escort card display a little more exciting.  So, naturally, we take to Pinterest for inspiration when we're super stumped!

 Escort cards with fabric swatches for guests to match up with table linens!

 Calligraphy on a sand dollar-also a good favor for guests who don't live at the beach! 

 Twine and a wooden post.

My personal favorite, sprinkles with names on little paper flags!  The sprinkle possibilities are endless...

Earlier this year, we tied printed cards with calligraphy names throughout trees for guests to find.  Don't worry, we put them in alphabetical order!

Ritzy Runners

Table runners are a chic, colorful and simple way to add a pop or color or a neat pattern to any table setting or bar!  Lately, we've been directing brides to fun fabric sites, like www.premierprintsfabric.com, to find a chevron, greek key or other fun pattern to add a little something to the decor.  We've carried this print to pillows on the lounge furniture, tent ties and underlays for glass tables.  Most basic prints we find are inexpensive, and with a little sewing knowledge, anyone can make a table runner! Bringing in a eye-popping print is such an easy way to add a little something to any wedding or party!

Current Obsession at the Office

Since wedding season is upon us (and the weather is warm!), staying hydrated has become a priority!  All (3) of us here at Red Letter are currently sporting the Tervis Tumbler water bottle and pretty much don't go anywhere without it!  Its become a staple in the office, in the car, set-up at venues and basically anywhere else we can take it.  If you're looking for a super cool way to stay hydrated, try this Tervis Tumbler.  It doesn't sweat or leave rings on the desks and they come in about a thousand different varieties!!
