Springtime in Charleston kicks off the season of weddings, celebrations, and many outdoor dinner parties. These watercolor napkin rings add a quick and easy pop of color to the dinner table without breaking the bank. With the addition of your guests’ names, they also become place cards.
For brides, consider getting your bridesmaids together for a craft night (especially if your invite list is long). It’s always more fun when you have the help of friends, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll finish the project.
