Polo anyone?

The place to be, and be seen, The Victory Cup Polo Match.

My client sponsored the Victory Cup in Charleston this year as part of their brand re-launch. While 7-day work weeks, and 14-hour days were necessary to put this event together, it was immeasurable fun along the way. 

Celebrating a big win for my client. That handsome fella is my son, who showed up to cheer us on.

Hats and dresses are the order of the day, and these ladies showed up in true Southern style.

This year's event was extended to two days and included hot air balloon rides.

When the winning team parties at your tent, it is impossible to resist a little clowning around.



Many vintage and repurposed items were used to decorate our tent including: a rolling tool box turned bar cart, my parents's patio furniture, and my boudoir chair.


A daytime hat was exchanged for a night appropriate fascinator. I needed something to distract from hat hair.

The ensemble:

Day hat: handmade fascinator by Suzanne Hardie $ don't ask (insanely expensive, but worth it)
Sleeveless ruffled blouse: Salvation Army $3
Bow back skirt: Amazon $12
Evening fascinator: Amazon $12
