Happy Wednesday TLB friends,
I hope you all had a great weekend! Hubby and I just got back from a whirlwind few days filled with all kinds of wedding bliss! Our daughter's wedding was last Saturday in Charleston, SC. It was a sunny day filled with so much love and happiness, we're still floating on "cloud nine!"
There were so many personal touches on the wedding I thought I would share some of them with you today and in upcoming blogs. Today's feature is their "Welcome Box." Each guest was greeted by a special gable box either when they checked in to the hotel lobby or when they visited the wedding Hospitality suite.
Since this was a destination wedding, everyone was from out of town. The grooms parents graciously hosted the Hospitality suite in the hotel which gave our guests a place to stop and say hello, grab a quick lunch and an adult beverage, and be on their way.
The Welcome boxes........
Attached to the handle of the Gable Welcome box was a Palmetto Rose and a Welcome label that read:
Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina
We are so excited you're joining us this weekend! While you are in town, we hope you
get to experience all that Charleston has to offer. Please see the reverse side for more
details. In the Welcome Box, you'll see we chose to include a few things that represent
our lives, and a couple things to help you through the weekend.
