Stunning Southern Affair by Calder Clark Designs, II

August 20th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 9 comments

I am la-la-loving today’s first featured affair. Actually, I love anything that Calder Clark of Calder Clark Designs in Charleston does and when you pair that up with the genius that is A Bryan Photo…the result is TOTAL perfection!

I actually had the pure pleasure of meeting Calder when I was in Charleston for a wedding and when I tell you that she is talented, I am hardly doing her justice. At the time, they were preparing a dessert bar for an upcoming wedding and it just might have been the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen. Plus, she gave us a cookie for the ride home, which was icing on the cake.

Anyway, back to the wedding at hand! Here are a few more details…

We designed heavy “garden garlands” to drape over the old brick columns of the carriage house lot and filled them with smilax, phalaenopsis orchids, and magnolia leaves to accent the existing evergreen landscaping at the period property.

Hung from old carriage house doors was a 50 inch wreath of the same, and creamy rose petals covered the slate aisle. We designed a few standout trees adorned with viburnum, hydrangea, smilax, and garden roses planted in wheat grass and edged with ivory satin ribbon and accented with delicate glass hanging votives. We used seagrass furniture in the dance tent and sheered the ceiling and poles with soft taupe chiffon.

    Hi everyone... thanks for all the wonderful responses to Jim and my wedding. Blue Moon Events and A Bryan Photo truly made it a spectacular event for the two of us!

    Some of you had some questions regarding my headpiece which was designed by Brides Head Revisited in NYC and was purchased from Nitsa's. The headpiece had a detachable clip that seperated the french lace from the flower so that I could wear the flower by itself.

    My bracelet was designed by Haute Design, and the bridesmaid dresses were designed by Jim Hjelm.

    If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask!

    Hi Chris,
    The hanging lanterns were rented from our wedding coordinator, Calder Clark at Blue Moon Events.
