Cake and Wine for a Springtime Girls Night at Hotel Emeline

As we ease our way into summer here in Charleston, I have to take a moment to show off this fun (mostly) girls night event planned by the lovely Sara of Tight Knot Events at Hotel Emeline back in March.

When Sara reached out to me about photographing this event, I’d barely read the entire message before I started my response of “What if I told you that’s my birthday, and I’d LOVE to spend it with you ladies?” Haha! I mean, what better way to spend your birthday than with cake and wine shared with some of your favorite event planning and wedding vendors in the area? Sign. Me. UP!!

Sara, her team, and co-host- Casey (a local wedding officiant) put together a dazzling evening in the greenhouse of the Hotel Emeline courtyard where we were treated to a wine tasting and talk from Terry Hennessee of Scout & Cellar followed by a cake tasting with Miri Nadler of Miri Nadler Cakes. And the icing on that cake? Miri even sent us home with a box of even more cake to taste! Y’all. I have never had a carrot cake so delectable in may entire life. I literally think of that carrot cake on a weekly basis.

From the pink glassware to the stunning florals by Sara herself, every detail came together for the perfect evening of enjoying the company of each other and really getting to sit, relax, and be on the other side of events for once. As the day faded into night, the space transformed into a pink-hued evening of laughter and fun, but productive discussions of business life. Often times, we vendors get to see each other at events and weddings, but rarely get to delve in true conversations as we are all working. Sara’s event gave us all a chance to not only catch up on what we were all doing in the business side of life, but what our personal lives looked like, too, and how we are all juggling the two.

So, hats off to Sara and Casey, and all of the other vendors who made this event possible! Thank you for a stunning, fun-filled evening!
