We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! New Year, New beginnings! At SBD we've had quite the adventure! We began our company in May 2014 with nothing but a laptop and a dream. In 2015 we successfully coordinated 18 weddings and assisted with a handful of conferences. After our last wedding on November 14th (that we are still swooning over) we took a hiatus for the year to reevaluate and reflect. SBD is no longer physically in the Beaufort, SC area. We had so much fun, learned so much, made a lot of great friendships in the industry, and will never forget our brides and their sweet families. We may have moved to VA, however due to our love of the Lowcountry and all things Southern (and it being Kylie's hometown) we will still be taking on clients in the Beaufort area as well as in Virginia. We hope everyone enjoyed time with their loved ones over the holidays and maybe even have a few occasions to celebrate in the new year that we hope to be a part of. Best Wishes Everyone!

After a double wedding weekend, waking up to this lovely note gets our day started out on the right track! Thank you Rachel :)

"Hi Kylie,

I just want to say a huge thank you for helping make our wedding perfect last weekend! It was absolutely beautiful and more than I ever could have expected. The weather was great (hot but that's better than rain) and I was pleased we could actually have everything outside. Everyone looked gorgeous and we have had so many sweet comments from our guests on what a wonderful time they had.

Here are a few pictures that people sent to me. I'd love to send more when we get them from Ryan.

I hope you have a beautiful rest of the year and enjoy time with your family as the holidays draw closer.

Best and thank you again!!
Rachel & Galen Kipar "
