Charleston Wedding by Charleston Stems
28 Mar 2012, 11:00 am by Erin
It's Southern Garden party time. This recipe calls for one charming city like Charleston, a floral artist that knows her way around pretty blooms like Charleston Stems and a couple who has perfected the art of the Dipping Kiss. (not recommended for amateurs) Charlotte Elizabeth captured it all: one Bride and Groom dipping,...
Lowndes Grove Plantation Wedding from Red Letter Events + Amelia and Dan
5 Mar 2012, 1:15 pm by Mallory
I can't quite put my finger on what it is about this wedding that is just SO chic. It could be the neutral color palette that lets Charleston shine. Or maybe it was the bride's stunning lace gown. Perhaps it was the couple's son - who just so happens to be the most adorable ring bearer. Of course it could also be the flowers, the cake, the tent, the favors. I could go on and on. Red Letter Events created a perfect day...

What Gin & Patrick Properties Have In Common
27 Apr 2009, 2:37 pmMore gin talk. Well, actually it's more about marketing, branding and positioning, but I'm using Hendrick's Gin as the example. But first, a bit o' history. When I first came to Patrick Properties, I was walking through The William Aiken House one day with Randall. He was regaling me with his encyclopedic knowledge about the House's history. As we walked across the gorgeous...

Did someone say happy hour?
21 Apr 2009, 8:45 pmIf you haven't met Fish Restaurant Manager/Mixologist/Fisherman/Renaissance Man Evan Powell, you are missing one of my favorite people. When it comes to wine and all things mixology, Evan is eager, passionate and tireless in his quest for more and more knowledge. He always has a fantastic wine recommendation, and whipped up a new spring cocktail today that I just had to document. It's called the nectarita: tequila, elderflower...

Good business
15 Apr 2009, 9:42 pmSo, last night at the CVB Travel Council meeting, PP Director of Events Jennifer Goldman announced a darn cool corporate meeting promotion that has some serious pay it forward oomph behind it. Here's the thing about the all of the brouhaha surrounding the recent corporate meeting scandals you've heard so much about over the past few months. WRETCHED EXCESS, anyone? Clearly, a company that's giving its highrollers beluga caviar, private...

1. Last night, I responsibly enjoyed some Hendrick's gin with Andra Watkins of Positus Consulting. How much do love the packaging? A vintage apothecary bottle? Genius. P.S. Andra is smart and hilarious. If your business needs some new...
Eggs, turnips & more!
13 Apr 2009, 9:23 pmEgg salad and deviled eggs? Does that pretty much cover the "what to make with 18 colored, hardboiled eggs" discussion? Spent lots of time outside this weekend, in the yard, with friends, walking, playing. Much needed. Got to taste some wonderful local produce too, thanks to friends who have a share in Ambrose Farms' CSA. Here's what was on the menu: scalloped turnips, sauteed turnip greens (olive oil and garlic) and fresh...
