What sells in South Carolina
Charleston is one of the most popular wedding cities in the South, and the peninsula makes a lovely city street map: rivers on both sides and the Battery at the point. Couples want the venue or the church with a heart on it.
Golf is everywhere. Kiawah, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach and the Upstate clubs all have golfers who want their course. A golf course map of Harbour Town or the Ocean Course is a bucket-list souvenir.
Then the rivalry. Clemson and Carolina split the state, and both sides buy campus maps. The lakes round it out: Lake Murray near Columbia, Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell in the Upstate, Lake Wylie near Charlotte. Zoom to the cove.
Lowcountry marsh is a big part of the look. Beaufort, Bluffton and Edisto buyers want the tidal creeks around their house, and those wandering waterways make a beautiful cut layer. Zoom in tight and let the creeks fill the frame. Greenville in the Upstate is a growing city market with a lot of first-home buyers.
Making a laser cut South Carolina ornament
South Carolina is a triangle-ish shape pointing northwest, with the coast along the bottom right and the Savannah River down the western side. It fits a 4 in square with room to spare. Inside, use I-26 from the Upstate to Charleston, I-95 down the coastal plain, I-20 and I-85, and Lake Marion and Lake Murray as water pieces. A heart on the town.
The coast looks good in the outline, and in our check Charleston, Kiawah, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach all sat inside the simplified frame. Still, check the outline in the Studio for smaller barrier islands.
Orange and purple for Clemson, garnet and black for Carolina. A navy backer with a crescent engraved near the top nods to the state flag without copying it.
Keep pins small so the lakes stay readable.
Questions makers ask
Is Hilton Head inside the South Carolina outline?
Yes, in our check. Hilton Head, Kiawah, Charleston and Myrtle Beach all landed inside the simplified state frame. Check the outline in the Studio for smaller islands.
Can I put Clemson and Columbia on the same ornament?
Yes. Drop a heart on each. A house-divided ornament is a popular gift in this state.
Can I make a Charleston wedding map?
Yes. Search the venue, use a heart frame, and engrave the names and date in the frame band. See wedding maps.
