The bride said:

LOVE, love, loved the flowers at the wedding — from the bouquets, to the table arrangements and the candles, it looked exactly as I imagined, and better!! Thank you so much for everything you did to make it so beautiful!

We had such a great time meeting brides and couples at the 18th Annual Bridal Showcase at the Carolina Inn! It’s a wonderful show, close to home, not so large it’s overwhelming, and held in a beautiful venue.
These are a few of the bouquets, pomanders, and centerpieces we displayed at the Showcase:

Mossy swan ornament, to hold cards.

Flowergirl ball with gingham ribbons and flowers.

Yellow roses and hydrangeas.

Look for tickets to go on sale at the Carolina Inn website in very early January for the 2014 event, held on the last Sunday in January. (The event is free to brides who book their wedding reception at the Inn.)
