Well, we didn’t think it would get here this soon, but here it is! 100 posts on Champagne & Chandeliers! Can you believe it?! In honor of our 100th blog post, we thought we’d give you a list of our 100 favorite things. Some are wedding related, some are not, so enjoy the first 50!
1. First looks-We still swoon over this fabulous October 2013 first look captured by Sean Money + Elizabeth Fay. 
2. Cafe Lighting.
4. Crystal Chandeliers.
5. Greenery of any kind! We are in love with the greenery used on the gates at William Aiken House for Katie & Brett’s big day. Garland by Tiger Lily Weddings and photo by Dana Cubbage Weddings.
6. Bands that can play to any crowd. We are obsessed with Two 3 Ways and The Midnight City! These bands can play everything from Motown to 80s Pop to Dave Matthews Band to Kesha. Your guests are sure to have a great time moving and grooving to these performers.
8. Non First Looks. What could be more intimate and special than being able to talk to your fiance just moments before walking down the aisle while still keeping the tradition of not seeing each other prior to the wedding. This photo of Kristen and Dan makes our heart swell every time we glance at it. Reese Moore did an amazing job capturing this sweet moment.
9. Garden Roses.
10. Outdoor Ceremonies.
11. Oak Trees. We’ll never be able to get enough of this picture of Meredith & Dave by Juliet Elizabeth Photography. We have it hanging in our office and often look at it to remind us why we do what we do.
12. Waterfront Venues. We are so blessed in Charleston to have so many of these waterfront venues at our disposal. A few of our favorites are Lowndes Grove Plantation, The Island House, Magnolia Plantation Carriage House, Rooftop at the South Carolina Aquarium, Harborside East, Alhmabra Hall, and Historic Rice Mill.
13. Eventworks. We can’t say enough about these guys! They are always on time with the nicest staff and the best quality products.
14. Ghost Chairs. Is there anything to say that would do justice to these beautiful chairs?

16. Copper Accents. We’ve always loved metallic details, but we’re super excited about getting to use copper this Spring. You may have seen a picture of our new copper votives on our Instagram.
17. Bold Colors & Mixing Patterns. There is nothing we love more than taking a chance on two colors or patterns that most people wouldn’t put together, and seeing them compliment each other perfectly!
18. Peonies. We love how Alex chose to mix peonies with garden roses and hydrangeas for her bridal bouquet. Bouquets by Tiger Lily Weddings and photo by Jennifer Bearden Photography.
