Swanson Signature Events knows what to expect for 2022!

Lowcountry Brides, tell us your color palate!

A New Earthy Hue for 2022

We are seeing more Brides choose dried florals. The feathery plumes of pampas grass have definitely gained popularity over the last couple of years. Florists have expanded on the ornamental grass trend by complementing it with dried florals. The unique textures are attention-grabbing because the best dried bloom varieties are not as well-known as the popular fresh blooms such as roses. Brides are loving how dried florals can be kept after their special day more easily and treasured as keepsakes or repurposed in their home décor!

Earth tones are also on the rise in weddings. Subtle tans and sand tones are great for wedding venues in our low country. Our Florist vendors have seen an increase in Brides requesting Coffee Roses. Warm colors, like burnt sienna, have been a popular choice for Fall 2022 Brides!

"I think adding dried elements is a fantastic touch to add texture. There are so many options available outside of the popular pampas grass. Some of my favorites are dried bleached Eualia Aurea, bleached nigella, bleached leather leaf and bunny tails. In wanting a dried, earthy tone palette trust your florist in the selection of flowers for your special day." Kati Esser of Kati Esser Designs

Timeless! History repeats itself. (Copied and pasted)

Came across this poem written in 1869, reprinted during 1919 Pandemic.

It was written in 1869 by Kathleen O’Mara:

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped and listened
More deeply
Someone meditated, someone prayed
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed.
And in the absence of people who
Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger ended and
People found themselves
They grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.

Pandemic, 1919

Did you know that YOU can 🐢 ❤️ 🐢 HELP SAVE OUR LOWCOUNTRY SEA TURTLES 🐢 ❤️ 🐢 by following a couple of simple guidelines? It’s critical that residents and visitors alike do their part to ensure that sea turtles have a safe and successful nesting season.

💡LIGHTS OUT – Keep our beaches dark for the turtles. Beaufort County lighting ordinance states that there shall be no visible light on our beaches May through October for our turtles. This includes house and porch lighting as well as NO flashlights on the beach. Lights disturb our nesting turtles and may be deadly to our hatchlings trying to find the ocean. Red colored lights are a no-no as well.

🏖 PACK IN and PACK OUT – Remove all items from the beach every evening prior to going home. This includes: tents, chairs, sand toys and trash. Items left on the beach may cause problems for our turtles trying to find a spot to nest.

⚠️ FILL IN HOLES – Please fill in any large holes that you dig above the high tide line. Turtles may become trapped in these. Large holes also pose a threat to people walking on the beach at night. When hatching season starts these holes may prove deadly traps for hatchlings trying to find the ocean.

♻️ PICK UP TRASH – Help keep our beaches clean and safe of debris that may end up in our ocean. Sea turtles, as well as many other ocean animals, may become very ill or die from ingesting plastics and other debris.

🐢 GIVE THE TURTLES SPACE – If are lucky enough to see a turtle on the beach, it is important to give her plenty of space to lay. It is illegal to disturb a nesting turtle. If you spook her, she may not lay and that entire clutch of eggs could be lost.

👣 DO NOT WALK IN TURTLE TRACKS – If you come upon turtle tracks on the beach early in the morning or late in the evening, it is very important that you do NOT walk in these. The Turtle Team uses these tracks as well as other field signs to locate the eggs. If the tracks and other nesting signs have been trampled, it makes it far more difficult to find the nest. Once the Turtle Team has investigated a crawl in the morning, large “X” marks are placed on the crawl so that we know it is an old crawl the next day.

Thank you in advance for doing your part to help save our Lowcountry Sea Turtles! To learn more visit http://bit.ly/scseaturtles

When a BBQ pitmaster officiates a SC wedding, it calls for a pork skin boutonnière

Nothing says Southern like a Pork Skin Boutonnière 🐷

Instead of a traditional flower, the officiant wore a cracklin' rose on his lapel during the ceremony.
