Le Diner En Blanc Charleston

 Le Diner En Blanc was a fabulous white party held for the first time in Charleston.  Major cities around the world have been enjoying Diner En Blanc for years and it has finally made its way to Charleston.  

The white picnic secret location this year, revealed at the very last minute, was Brittlebank Park.   


We gathered our food, tables, anything white we could find, and headed out on the golf cart.  We met our group leader, Atosha, at the Joe Riley Stadium and there they revealed the location of the picnic. 


Flower crowns, fancy hats, and fascinators were everywhere... 






















Thank you Christophe Chocolatier for these amazing macaroons...












We purchased a packed picnic dinner from Butcher & Bee for the evening.  Check out this menu below, it was incredibly delicious...





We randomly had to choose a group leader for the dinner and by pure luck got to sit with some old friends.  We haven't seen Whitney (Whitney Rietz Designs) or Holly (Flair Marketing) in 6 years, they were our florist and wedding planner for our wedding.  Love these two!




The evening was a total reunion, our wedding photographer was there too!  Kate Thornton of Captured by Kate Photography.









This is Atosha, our sweet group leader...








Holly with her husband, Alex, of EventHaus Rentals.  Alex also was a huge player in our wedding.  He did an amazing job with our lighting and tents.







Sparklers!




Jennifer and Victoria in their beautiful flower crowns...



Photo booth fun...










Goldfish as a centerpiece!


Out on the dance floor I met some fellow bloggers, @queenofthefoodage and @basilandbubbly. 


I just loved this tutu and fascinator...








I found a furry friend at the party.  It looked like she was having a tough time drinking her Moet but with a little help she managed.  















Until next year!
