katie and michael | tie the knot | foundation for the carolinas

In the wedding industry, we see trends come and go and lately - the trend is little to no color. And while it is lovely, it is always refreshing when a bride WANTS color.  Enter Katie.

Katie came to me last year with the task of creating a (tastefully done) art deco-inspired wedding. I was up to the challenge and I personally can not be happier with how the design came together.

In late March, Katie and Michael exchanged vows in Silverman Pavilion at Foundation for the Carolinas. After the ceremony, we led guests into Legacy Hall for cocktail hour while the ceremony space was 'flipped' for reception. This is something that we have done many times at FFTC, and the art of the 'flip' has become a well-oiled machine.

The day was a bit rainy, not allowing for many outside photos... but no amount of gloom could rain on this sweet duo's parade. Heck, they say rain is good luck, no?

bekah and jonathan | tie the knot | the mint museum uptown

I met Bekah last March and within a month she moved to Austin, TX for her residency as an OBGYN. 

Potential out-of-town clients always ask me if it is possible to successfully plan a wedding with a local to Charlotte planner. And the answer is easy- yes! In fact, I suggest all out-of-town brides hire a local planner to be your ears on the ground here.

Bekah and Jonathan's wedding is just one beautiful example of this. 

On a cool February afternoon, Bekah and Jonathan exchanged vows at Bekah's childhood church, Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, followed by dinner and dancing at The Mint Museum Uptown.
