Lowcountry libations.

I was perusing through Garden&Gun's Belle Decor blog the other day, and I came across this great wedding reception set-up by guest blogger and southern wedding planner, Calder Clark.  This girl's got southern charm down to an art, especially with this DIY bourbon tasting bar at a fall wedding in Hilton Head.  With a table base of two aged oak barrels and a copper piece as the top, Clark set the stage for an unforgettable party.  The small batch bourbon was poured from gorgeous antique crystal decanters and into vintage glasses.  Most guests preferred their bourbon neat, but crushed ice, mint, lemon and limes were added in case guests wanted a garnish.

I can't think of anything more southern than this, can y'all?

happy hour.

The rich, antique wood, the crystal decanter and glasses, the silver --everything about this photo is simply flawless.  Future home inspiration? Yep. This picture is currently pinned on my "la maison." pinboard on Pinterest, where I found this photo from Rue.
