jenna and trey | tie the knot | quail hollow country club

Have I mentioned before that I absolutely love Fall? Because I do. The crisp blue skies, the intense sunsets, the warm days and chilly nights... I.love.all.of.it. 

So, when Jenna and Trey came to me and wanted to host their entire wedding reception under a clear top tent on the lawn at Quail Hollow Country Club, in October- I was totally on board. 

This wedding. You guys. This wedding was stunning (if I may say so myself). Jenna's family is Italian, so while we did not want to over-theme the entire wedding- we did have nods to Tuscany- complete with mini loves of bread (tucked into kraft paper paper bags, doubling as menus) at each setting along with olive oil bottles as place cards. 

Trey also got his wish for a craft beer and cigar station, which was cozyed- up with soft, tufted couches, market lights and candles.

Please enjoy some of my favorite photos from the day by Lauren Rosenau Photography. I personally love how different the tent looks from day to night.

 

A planner is only as good as her vendors. And this vendor list is seriously A-team material. Thank you!

meagan and alex | tie the knot | byron's south end

Dreamy. That is really the only way to accurately describe Meagan and Alex's all white wedding from this past November. 

The evening ceremony was held at The Design Center of the Carolinas with pre-ceremony champagne, full draping and candles. Lots of candles. Cocktails, dinner and dancing continued at Byron's South End.

Being from New Orleans originally, Meagan wanted to add touches from her home town - complete with a second line exit and a beignet truck.

Please enjoy some images from this beautiful day, courtesy of Evan Laettner Photography.

A huge thank you to all of the vendors who helped make this night a success!

rachel and jordan | tie the knot | foundation for the carolinas

Happy 2017! While it's a new year and we are busy planning for this year's weddings- I am still receiving photos from some of the Fall 2016 weddings. It's like Christmas all over!

Rachel and Jordan met in law school and have been together ever since. They got married in October at Foundation for the Carolinas with no lack of color (as you will see in the photos!). 

Rachel loves vibrant colors and wanted to incorporate art work created by her mother. We were able to use a floral painting that was introduced in the invite and then used again as their ceremony back drop. Not only did this add a unique one-of-a-kind piece to the wedding, it was even more special that Rachel's mother painted the piece....and they were able to hang it in their home post wedding.

Please enjoy some images from this crazy fun day (this group knew how to party- confetti cannons, 'treat yo self' signs and all!) by Bluesky by Cass Bradley.

Thank you to the group of vendors who helped make this evening memorable!
