Event Design Group won gold in The Greater Atlanta Chapter of the National Association of Catering Executives (NACE) annual Event Trends competition. Event Design Group's Floral Director Kim Vasil created a "Low Country Beach Wedding" from sea - weathered branches, Spanish Moss, driftwood and tumbleweed, "As if blown loose by a powerful gale," Vasil said. Sponsored by Proof of the Pudding, this table was representative of the growing trend in destination weddings. Simple, beach-swept romanticism was the goal. Sand was essential, but used only as a complementary note. With hydrangea finishes, Victorian seashell boxes, and tiny details scattered in the sand Vasil created a delicate look that was tailored, illuminated by pewter lanterns, and interwoven with mariner's rope. Though destination weddings are all the rage, Vasil says not to worry. "If the wedding party doesn't want to travel to the beach, now we can just bring the beach to the wedding party." One thing is certain Vasil has created a Low Country Destination Wedding look to die for.
