Crazy packed Spring schedule- check. Amazing weddings - done. Summer vacation- relaxed. Now I feel like I finally have a chance to jump back into blogs *just* before the Fall wedding craziness hits! And boy do I have some seriously amazing weddings to showcase from April. Let's start at the beginning... April 7, 2018 The FABULOUSLY fun Diana and Kyle were my first of three April weddings. Did it rain on their wedding day? YES. Did they get adorable pictures with umbrellas

What do you get when you mix St. Patrick's Day, Myers Park Country Club, a Leprechaun, and fireworks? You get Whitney and BJ's simply MAGICAL wedding day. From start to finish, this day was perfection. From the lights in the ballroom, to the floral garlands that greeted guests, to the band that rocked all night long, not one detail was left untouched. It was even supposed to rain all day, but instead it was the prettiest weekend of the year to date. Whitney and her mom, (b

Almost exactly a year ago, I decided to throw my last bit of energy before having a baby into a sexy styled shoot with a dynamic team of vendors. Said baby is the reason that it’s taken me an entire year to get this blog post published, but since then, four different wedding blogs have featured this sultry and fun Prohibition themed wedding shoot: Bustld, Ultimate Wedding Digital, Tantamount Love, and Strictly Weddings. The inspiration for this shoot came from the photogr

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I cannot believe that it's 2018. Where did 2017 go? So in honor of a truly spectacular year, here are my top 17 wedding moments. Enjoy! 1. When Linda walked in to her decorated reception space: I REALLY care that my couples have the best day, and when you can see how excited and happy they are, it is the BEST. Thanks LunahZon for capturing the moment! 2. Making is "snow" for this fabulous January bride: It was actually a cool, rainy day, but you wouldn't

People often ask me what venues I find myself at the most- and the answer’s not simple. There are a TON of fabulous venues in the Charlotte and surrounding areas and I feel really lucky that we get to work with so many beautiful and different places. From skyline views and city lights, to barns and old historic houses, working at different venues means various wedding styles -which in turn keeps things interesting and varied. With that said- Details Wedding Planning had a

Oh the quintessential June wedding. When you think of a classic wedding, you think a Saturday in June. (Right? Is that still the case? My mind automatically still goes to June even though our most popular wedding months here in Charlotte are April/May and Sept/Oct.) Before I get too sidetracked, you definitely don’t want to miss out on either of these beautiful June weddings, both of which happen to be at the fabulous Foundation for the Carolinas and both of which happene

Katie and Dan are such a fun pair. There are few weddings where you find the subtle colors of champagne and peach combined with beautiful, classic florals, and then get to throw in a skull and crossbones koozie. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE couples who are authentically and fantastically themselves? I do. (Wedding pun fully intended). Katie is a former event planner in her hometown of Houston, and she was on top of the planning process. She knew exactly what she wan

I think Winter weddings are becoming some of my favorites... maybe because they're less popular, maybe because there's usually no big rain backup plan (almost everything's already inside), or maybe because I like fur stoles and icy accents? In any case, Ashley and Davis's wedding did NOT disappoint. It had all of these fun elements and more. It was so much for working with Ashley to coordinate the wedding. She wanted to embrace the Winter theme and had a formal, Uptown aff

Weddings are fantastic, but what made Tyler and Rachel's wedding SO wonderful, were the beaming smiles that never left either of their faces the entire night. How I got involved with this wedding actually goes back to Montevideo Middle School in the good ole' Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. You see, that's where I met Tyler. We both moved away after high school, but find ourselves now living only ten minutes from one another! It's always so nice reconnect with people who jus

When you plan or coordinate a wedding for people you know, you just feel more connected to it. This is one reason I really try to get to know all my couples before their wedding day, but feeling connected is especially easy when your friendship began almost two and a half years before the wedding. This was the case with Ryan and Mackenzie. I met them during our summer teacher training in June of 2014. Ryan had just graduated from Clemson (an immediate and never failing co

If I could sum up Becca and Jason's wedding in one word it would be "Surprise!" The couple wanted their wedding to be personalized, different, and a BLAST for guests, so while they included all of the traditional elements in their day, they did things with a twist to surprise guests throughout the night. When I say surprises, know that this couple is a PRO at them. So often, when I hear engagement stories (and this one includes my own!) I hear about trips, or special nights

Wedding crashers are always hard to deal with, and Matthew was no exception. Matthew the hurricane that is... he came in with strong winds and rain, made for some tough last minute decisions, (and some purchases of extra umbrellas), but he didn't dampen the party. This wedding started over a year ago when I met Caitlyn and Todd. We had a fun start to the planning process, finding out that Caitlyn and I shared a love of elephants, and Todd and I share a birthday! Caitlyn kn

I drove. And kept driving. And finally, down a dirt road, I arrived to Whip Poor Will Hill, where Liz and David held both their ceremony and reception. The small, family run venue was perfect for the couple’s rustic, Fall wedding with trendy marsala, blush, and gold colors. The couple’s wedding was FULL of little (and BIG) details. When I arrived at the venue for the rehearsal the day before the wedding, I got to see all of the crazy hard work I knew Liz’s mom had put into

This wedding...wow. What a pleasure to be a part of the love that was shared on your big day. K + D's story is short and sweet. They met, they knew it was meant to be, and they started their happily ever after on Saturday, April 9 (all within about a year). The couple hosted two ceremonies, a family, church centered one in the morning, and a personalized vow exchange for friends and family in the afternoon. An hour of hors d'oeuvres and drinks followed the vow exchange, wh
