Girls Picnic in Hampton Park + CHS Bubbly Bar

My outfit: Dress | Heels | Earrings

Last week, a couple of my newest Charleston friends and I had a little picnic in Hampton park. Randi (the blonde cutie in the blue dress) and Megan (the lovely redhead in the culottes) and my photographer, Nicole, knew it would be the perfect spot because this is the time of year in the South when the azaleas are at their peak!

Randi happens to own a fun business here in Charleston called CHS Bubbly Bar (curated bubbly bars for the morning of your wedding, bridal + baby showers, bachelorette parties, birthdays, or whatever other special occasion), so we thought it would be fun to have her show us first-hand what she does! She set up an adorable little picnic in the park, complete with pink and white blankets, cupcakes and a stand, and champagne and champagne flutes. It’s seriously such a cute idea for girls who want to do something a little special but don’t have that creative gene when it comes to party planning (girls like me haha).

It was so fun to get the three of us together for this shoot! After so many solo photoshoots, it was a breath of fresh air for me to add some more faces in the mix. These girls also are a few of the people here have made my Charleston transition so much easier; I’m so glad we all got to meet! Randi and I met because I Insta-stalked her and thought she would be fun (turns out I was right, of course) and Megan and I met way back when I first started my blog 3 years ago. Her and her sister used to own a clothing boutique and I was one of the first bloggers they worked with on a collaboration! Then this summer, she messaged me saying she would be in Austin, so we met, and then both ended up moving to Charleston within 3 months of each other! They’re both such sweet girls, definitely check out Megan’s blog and both of Randi’s businesses (she also plans bachelorette parties in addition to CHS Bubbly Bar!).

Hope y’all had a great Easter Weekend!
