As owners of Charleston-based Limelight Custom Sign Co., it made sense for Sara Lofton and Gregg Pavone to channel their talents into their Big Day. While they created the invitations, favors, and signage, their most ambitious project was a collection of 20 twine lanterns for the reception area. “It was a ton of work and pretty messy, but they had exactly the impact I wanted,” Sara says. And while she and Gregg took a lot on themselves, they also relied on Ooh! Events for assistance.
