haley and sam | tie the knot | charlotte city club

May has been a whirlwind with weddings and planning sessions for all of our upcoming Fall events (so exciting..stay tuned!!)

Haley and Sam got married on May 11th at St. Ann Catholic Church followed by a reception at Charlotte City Club. Haley came to me through a past bride (her step-sister, Emily who's wedding can be seen by clicking: here). There really is no higher compliment than to have a past bride refer their family or friend. So, for this, I am incredibly grateful.

Both geologists, Haley and Sam met on a trip to Maylasia during graduate school. Because of this, Haley wanted to incorporate agate elements in ode to their love of geology. The fact that it rained (actually poured) on their wedding day didn't stop them from getting great photos in the lobby at the City Club... which both of them pointed out reminded them of agate. We couldn't have planned it better!

alison and curt | tie the knot | charlotte city club

Alison and Curt may live in Washington, DC- but they happily chose Charlotte as their wedding location. Many couples wonder if it is possible to live in one city and plan a wedding in another. And the answer is yes, yes, yes! Of course, a planner (ahem) is helpful- but it is certainly feasible!

Simple and classic, Alison wanted soft tones for her black tie June wedding. A church ceremony kicked off the wedding day at Myers Park Methodist Church and then guests headed to The Charlotte City for cocktails, dinner and dancing.
