Ross & Tiffany's Classic Charleston Engagement by Catherine Ann Photography

So, we officially have a new site! Yay!  Over the next few weeks, we'll be making some tweaks along the way, so bare with us as we get things in order.  You'll see we've got a brand, spanking new vendor section which I think you'll really love.  Each vendor category is broken down by city, so you can find an event pro in Charleston, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach or Savannah.  My favorite  part is our new shop where you can pre-order the new A Lowcountry Wedding Magazine!  This is for our destination ladies who may not be able to pick one up in town.  Since we've been in the dark for the past few days, we 've got A LOT of gorgeous Southern wedding inspiration we need to share and we wanted to start with Ross & Tiffany's Classic Charleston Engagement by Catherine Ann Photography.  This adorable couple spent the afternoon moseying around the Holy City with the talented Catherine Ann.  We love their spot on outfit choices, Catherine's swoon-worthy photography style and their Save the Date paddle!

Candlefish - Scented Candle Making Class

Candlefish Candle making Class

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending 'Blogger Night' at the brand new Candlefish shop downtown....and it was awesome! The shop was the brainchild of the minds behind Rewined and Produce Candles and offers a killer selection of pre-made candles, beautiful stationery products, local Charleston goods and wonderful gift ideas for just about anyone you could think of.

But the best part is definitely the Library.  Yep, I said it.  There's an entire Library of 100 intoxicating aromas that are bound to satisfy anyone's sense of smell.  Not only is the library an eye-catching focal point in the room, complete with an vintage, library ladder, but its intent is to give you the chance to "smell" test your way to the perfect candle.  In fact, they've devised  a system to mirror the old-school card catalog where you track your progress so in the future you can remember which scents work best for you.

For 'Blogger Night', I joined seven other lovely Lowcountry ladies (Kaitlyn of dayjobsanddreams.com, Megan of holycitychic.com, Ally of aahlifeasiknowit.com, Annie of anniereeves.com, Jillian of cornflakedreams.com, Ryan of apolishedpalate.com and Gillian of acoastalbride.com) for an evening of candle-making, wine drinking and some good ol' Candlefishin'!

The class lasted about 2 hours and Hannah and Alyssa of Candlefish took us through the process step-by-step.  After we hit up the library to select our scents of choice, we took turns pouring the hot liquid wax, which we then whisked the fragrance oil.  It was a great, relaxing evening and so fun to see everyone's candles come to life.  If you're in the mood for a hands-on evening with a group of girlfriends (we think it would be perfect for a bridal shower or a bachelorette party activity!), I would highly recommend it!  The crew at Candlefish is kind enough to offer A Lowcountry Wedding readers a 20% discount off any class at any date in 2015, but the code (CHASBLOGGER14) expires December 31, 2014 at 11:55 PM, so act fast!
