The wedding was set out on the beach. We wanted to have a very simple and short ceremony so we didn't go crazy with the decorations. We went very simple but elegant. Carolina Events and Tents are really the ones that made this wedding as beautiful as it was. I went to multiple vendors in the area and Amanda was always on top of her game and extremely helpful. I felt like the options were unlimited. Everything I wanted they were able to supply. I wanted a chuppah with fabric and sashes and... a chandelier, I wanted chairs with sashes, I wanted purple uplights in the ballroom and so on. I never heard Amanda say that they couldn't do it.
There was a very long pier leading to the beach and I new that it would cost a lot to decorate it. Luckily while shopping for this wedding I ended up with a lot of tissue paper from TJ Maxx and Homegoods so during a girls day of pampering those of us that were in line to be pampered cut out almost 100 paper flowers to line the pier with. A big thanks to Denise, Savannah, Lillian, Leah, Jan, Trish, and my Mom for all their help on this.
The colors of our wedding were to be purple and yellow but as the wedding decorations starting coming together it ended up a very purple wedding. I love sunflowers so that pretty much was the burst of yellow that appeared in the ceremony as well as the venue.
The gift items we went with were very simple. We tried to find items that held meaning to us. I love elephants so of course our place card holders were elephants, we had jacks on the table to signify Jack, there were romantic movie quotes printed on a small piece of linen since we love movies and finally a small tin of culinary grade lavender just because I love the calming smell and the beautiful color that lavender gives off.

Finally, the cake! This is the main decoration. It took Jack and I a long time to come to a decision about our cake. I wanted a cake with ruffles and flowers and he wanted absolutely no flowers anywhere and simple. Once he said simple I knew that meant no ruffles. I was totally at a loss. Luckily we found Myra from Incredible Edibles in Murrels Inlet, SC. We went through all the cakes she had made and found one very similar to our final product that we both loved. I didn't get my cool 3D flowers that I wanted on the cake but I found a cake stand that had one : ) so it worked out. To top it all off, Kermit and Miss Piggy were out cake toppers. We love the Muppets and it just seemed fitting they they would be the ones on top of our cake.
