Confession: just like a new Kate Spade bag, we happen to wear our love affair with bold stripes on our sleeve. There’s a reason this wedding trend never goes out of style. It’s fresh, effortlessly chic and adds a perfect pop of texture – especially the black-and-white stripe combination that dressed up the two special occasions we’re bringing you in today’s post!

First up, Katherine & Bill’s gorgeous downtown Charleston wedding at The William Aiken House! From bouquet ribbons to table linens, we love this modern touch paired perfectly with the couple’s lush greenery and gold accents designed by A. Caldwell Events.

Speaking of Kate Spade, you’ve just got to see this tablescape! Attendees of this year’s Southern C Summit sat down to a delicious luncheon courtesy of the PPHG culinary team, featuring a bold green palette punched with both classic and colorful Kate stripes to amp up the playful spirit of this springtime gathering.
