Just Married + Featured: Keely + Hill

This couple just puts a huge smile on my face! And to see their gorgeous wedding and beautiful story featured on Southern Weddings, which is one of my absolute favorite blogs, makes me SO happy!! Working with these two was such a blast, and it was a very rewarding experience because I gained a wonderful friend throughout planning for this wonderful day.

I know I say it all the time but getting to know my brides and grooms in order to give them the wedding of their dreams is so important to me. Keely and Hill were every bit a dream couple - and it really starts with their absolute 110% love and devotion for each other. Y'all, these two are smitten! And, their love story is probably one of my favorites. We worked hand-in-hand to plan for each detail of their wedding... and there were a lot of details, which is just the way I like it! Starting with the stunning wedding location - which was the ultimate Southern venue called Boxwood Estate in Mocksville, North Carolina - we planned each detail of the wedding day with the inspiration of "southern charm" in a gorgeous color palette of blush, ivory, gold and a hint of black.

An amazing team of vendors came together to bring this bride's dream wedding to life. These photos by the incredibly talented Lauren Friday Photography are beyond amazing! I could seriously stare at them all day - and narrowing down which photos to post was so difficult! Melanie with New Creations Flower Company took my designs to a whole new level with her creativity and endless talents. I am so obsessed with all of the gorgeous bouquets and amazing centerpieces! Deb Hall with Olive Paper designed some gorgeous paper goods and created two lovely custom monograms for this sweet couple, which we added to pillows, cocktail napkins, signs, and even late night snacks! And to each of the other vendors that bent over backwards to give our bride and groom best day ever - thank you so much!

This was one of the most fun weddings we've ever planned, as I'm sure you can see from some of the reception photos! With a fun loving couple like this, I could expect nothing less. The bride and groom partied with guests all night until their big sparkler send off... It was an unforgettable night for these two! I'm so excited to be able to share it with y'all and the readers of SW Magazine!

I cannot even begin to say enough about this couple, y'all. Keely, you are without a doubt one of the most selfless, sweet, genuine, and amazing people I've ever met! Not to mention so beautiful, both inside and out. I am so honored to have been a part of your wedding day, and to have had the chance to get to know you and Hill (and your families!) like I did. Thank you for letting me into your lives and hearts, and for allowing me to design and plan your special day. I'll hold you both close to my heart always! I am SO happy for you  - Cheers to a lifetime of wedded bliss, Mr. & Mrs. Hudson!

Just Married: Veronica + Chip

On a beautiful April Saturday, a stunning bride and dashing groom said "I Do" among family and friends in a beautiful church ceremony where the groom's brother officiated and the bride's Filipino traditions were incorporated into the Lutheran service. I met Veronica at the beginning of 2013, and over the next several months we worked hand-in-hand to plan for her big day.  Talk about every wedding planners dream, y'all! Veronica might just be one of the sweetest and most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing! Not to mention she has amazing style. She and Chip are so adorable and absolutely perfect together - their passion for life and each other is breathtaking. (And, I have to brag on our groom because boy, oh boy can he cook! During our final meeting, Chip made lump crab eggs benedict for us to enjoy.... it was amazing!) Starting with an inspiration of "Sophisticated Romance", we designed one of my favorite weddings of the year. The Mint Museum Uptown was the perfect venue for this amazing celebration. A team of incredible vendors helped make Veronica and Chip's dream wedding became a reality! And, I'm THRILLED to see that not only is their gorgeous spring wedding published in the July-September issue of Carolina Bride, but Veronica is the cover bride! Thank you, Carolina Bride, for featuring this amazing couple and their story for your readers to enjoy! I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with this lovely bride and groom. Take a look at some of my favorite images from their big day - and don't forget to pick up the latest copy of Carolina Bride, on newsstands now!

So, I mentioned earlier that our groom was a cook, right? Well, Veronica surprised him with a grooms cake in the shape of a pizza because it's their favorite thing to cook together. She even used the wooden pizza server from their kitchen and he was so surprised! For Goodness Cakes did an incredible job with both of these sweet confections - and they were both so delicious!

Veronica and Chip love to travel, but their guests travelled in from all over the world to celebrate their marriage. So, I came up with and created a travel-themed seating display and table numbers to tie it all together. I love the way it turned out! The biggest surprise of the weekend was when Veronica's best friend and bridesmaid, who is stationed in South Korea and was denied leave to attend and stand in the wedding, actually showed up at the rehearsal dinner. It was a moment that everyone couldn't get enough of... The best wedding present you could possibly give your best friend! And, our travel-themed seating display was even more fitting with bridesmaid Molly in attendance.

Anniversary: Hannah + Billy

They say time flies when you're having fun, right?! I'm sure that's how the first year of marriage felt for these two sweethearts. I absolutely adore this couple! And getting to know Hannah and Billy was so much fun - I loved helping them plan for their big day at Bonterra Dining and Wine Room. This southern vintage-inspired wedding was one of my favorites from 2013!  Every last detail was perfect, and I just loved all the special and sentimental details we planned for this lovely bride. Happy Anniversary, Hannah and Billy! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to  work with you both to bring your wedding dreams into reality. Enjoy reliving your special day, and cheers to many more years of bliss!

Bridal Portraits: Taylor

I can't say enough about this sweet bride! Working with Taylor and Kyle for their May wedding at Byron's South End was an absolute blast. Taylor is about as easy going as they come and Kyle is such a gentleman! I loved getting to know this gal - she is so lovely and her heart is so big! I'm excited to share her gorgeous bridal portraits taken at Separk Mansion. Just take a look at her stunning smile - It's so infectious! I am pretty much in love with these photos from Lauren Rosenau Photography and I'm absolutely obsessed with her colorful bridal bouquet by the talented New Creations Flower Company. Take a peek at a few of my favorite portraits!

Just Married: Mia + Alex

I'm thrilled to share Mia and Alex's sweet spring wedding. These two are are so amazing - I seriously just can't get enough of them! I met our lovely bride, Mia, while she was in town visiting family in Charlotte. We talked and talked and talked about how she and Alex first met while working at Carolinas Medical, about his sweet proposal in a hot air balloon, and about her dream garden wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. Watching Mia and Alex together is really something special. They are so in love and the way they interact with each other is truly refreshing. Not to mention the fact that Mia is an absolute doll and Alex is such a gentleman!  In just 8 short months we planned the entire wedding, all while Mia and Alex were living in Baltimore, Maryland. I work with many, many brides who are busy with grad school; or have demanding work schedules; or who are living out of state and seek a wedding planner to help manage the planning process. Mia was without a doubt one of the busiest brides I've ever worked with due to her intense and inflexible schedule as she completes her residency at Johns Hopkins University. I am so grateful for her sweet spirit, calm demeanor and unwavering trust in me with each decision made. I'm sincerely honored to have had the opportunity to meet with this sweet couple, and to be able to provide her with a stress-free planning experience. I loved bringing her beautiful ideas to life! It was important to Mia to incorporate the traditions of her Chinese culture and the jewish traditions of Alex's family within the wedding. The color red is a traditional wedding color for Chinese culture and - lets be real - I was so excited to be able to work with a brighter color! The beauty of nature was a major inspiration for this whimsical design. With a color palette of neutral tones and ivory mixed with pinks and reds accented by gold, we created a dreamy and elegant garden wedding. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn't want to cooperate with us and we had to change plans! The temperature that weekend dropped suddenly and the rain refused to let up all day. It's always sad to deal with the reality of a rain plan, especially when we had such a gorgeous plan for an outdoor ceremony. But, even though we had to quickly change plans due to the uninvited weather, Mia never stopped smiling all day! She kept the bigger picture in mind and was just so excited to marry the love of her life in front of family and friends that travelled from as far as China. This is why I love this bride - she just wanted to marry her beau and at the end of the day it didn't really matter where that sweet ceremony took place.

Just wait until you see the amazing photos from Lauren Rosenau Photography - I'm so in love with each one!

Anniversary: Danielle + Sam

One of the most adorable couples are celebrating one year of marriage today! Working with Danielle and Sam was so much fun - what a couple of sweethearts! Their love for each other is really beautiful.  I fell head over heels in love with the results of our garden-inspired Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden wedding design! Everything came together even more beautifully than I could have ever imagined.  Danielle & Sam actually lived in Chicago while we were working to plan for their big day.... Which means an extra layer of stress for most couples.  I am grateful to Danielle for putting her faith and trust in me to ensure that everything would be okay and to bring her vision to life.  And it is still one of my favorite weddings to date! Happy first year of wedded bliss, Danielle & Sam! PS. If you haven't seen their wedding featured on Southern Weddings and Loverly, be sure to check it out!

I'll never forget the first time I met Steph and Bryce - I loved them from the moment we met. What an amazing couple these two are! Planning for their June 2013 wedding at St. Peter's Catholic Church and the Mint Museum Uptown was so much fun! The cherry on top was that half way through planning, as we're getting to know each other, Steph and I find out that we were both part of the same sorority. It is such a small world! I'm honored to have helped these two sweethearts plan a simply gorgeous wedding! Happy Anniversary you two! Time flies when you're having fun, right?!

Just Married: Whitley + Darian

I hope y'all are ready to see a stunning bride and handsome groom! Whitley and Darian were married this past March at Brakefield at Riverwalk on a gorgeous spring day that wedding planners only dream of.  In a beautiful setting with the Catawba River rushing by in the background, this lovely couple said "I Do" among family and friends.  Our sweet bride originally didn't want to look at outdoor venues because the weather in March in the Carolinas can be so unpredictable, but then she saw Brakefield .... and that view changed her mind completely! Since Whitley lived in Missouri at the time,  we worked extra closely together to design each detail with one word in mind: Glam!  I love a girl who knows what she wants - and Whitley, was that girl. We clicked instantly and working with this bride was such a dream come true. She's just as sweet and lovely as she is beautiful! With a soft, monochromatic color palette of ivory and greys (and with some pops of pink!), we designed her dream wedding. I absolutely love the way everything came together, and how Whitley's vision of elegant glamour came to life with the help of an AMAZING vendor team:

Whitley and Darian, thank you for trusting me to design and produce your dream wedding! You two are absolutely amazing! Big hugs to you! XOXO

Just Married: Morgan + Mike

I love these two! They are so sweet together.  I met Morgan while working in Corporate Communications for a healthcare company based in Charlotte.  Our friendship continued even after I left to pursue wedding and event planning, and when the time came to hire a planner for her September 2013 wedding, I was honored to receive her phone call. Morgan is one of those girls who can just do it all.  And, you're like - come on, how?!  She's super smart, drop dead gorgeous, funny, driven, an amazing artist... the list goes on.  Mike is a fashionable guy, incredibly sweet, and works in the film industry in Charlotte.  Coolest job ever, right?  I'll never forget how she first described Mike. Let's just say, she eventually got to know him better and they realized how perfect they are for each other.  And, pretty much everyone who's ever meet them as a couple would say the same thing!

We came up with a modern and organic design that fit the venue, The Design Center Atrium, to the tee.  However, the rain was not something we planned for.  But, honestly, I can't imagine their wedding day without it!  Somehow, it just fit.  Believe it or not, we found these clear umbrellas the day of the wedding thanks to a neighbor of the bride, and they really made the photos pop. I always tell couples that things fall into place on the wedding day - and this is a great example of that. There are so many details from this wedding that I'm excited to share with you!

How much do you love these photos from Sarah Whitlow of Two Cents Photography? Absolutely stunning.  And don't miss the video from Morgan + Mike's wedding from the ultra talented David Whitlow. That's right, a husband-wife wedding power team. Love these two!

Now without further adieu...

Just Married: Sarah + Scott

A rainy day couldn't keep this gorgeous bride from beaming on her wedding day!  I am completely in love with Sarah + Scott's Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden wedding captured beautifully by Love Shutter Photography. It was so incredibly difficult to narrow down the number of images to blog because Sarah's smile is so amazing - and so infectious!  Seriously... just try not to smile looking at this gorgeous bride! I feel in love with this coulple from the moment I met them.  Sarah is easily one of the nicest people I've ever met, and Scott - well he's from New Orleans.  Enough said!  Even though Mother Nature brought their garden ceremony indoors, it didn't dampen the spirits of this party.  Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Lipps! Thank you so much for letting The Graceful Host be a part of your big day!

Just Married: Stephanie + Bryce

The Graceful Host kicked off summer wedding season with Stephanie and Bryce's romantic Mint Museum wedding.  I had such a BLAST working with this amazing couple!!  These two are the definition of FUN!  The little details were everything to Stephanie, and the outcome was more than either of us could ever imagine! Let's talk color palette: creams, ivories, blush pinks, with pops of lavender tones took over the beautiful Mint Museum Uptown 5th floor Grand Room.  With the help of Melanie of New Creations Flower Company, the room was transformed and draped in pure romance and elegance.  I'm in love with the beautiful milk glass centerpieces, pillar candles, and mercury glass!

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from Stephanie and Bryce's wedding day. Stephanie and Bryce, thank you for choosing The Graceful Host! It was such an honor to work with you. You were so much fun and so incredibly sweet! Enjoy married life!
