Charlotte Summer Wedding from Kristin Vining Photography

Everything Kristin Vining sends our way just confirms our thoughts that Charlotte brides are all classic, sweet, and oh so talented. This wedding is further proof that there is a love-induced, rosy colored outlook infused into all North Carolina nuptials. Pink flowers, pink ‘maids, and pink cherry blossoms galore, this fête is more than fabulous. Everything about this wedding put sweet little grins on our faces, and our cheeks are sore from all the smiling that’s been going on. Ready to break out those pearly whites? Then check out Kristin’s blog for more of this stunning affair.

I designed everything. From the reception space and what to include, to the types of flowers I wanted, I chose the cake, the cherry blossom theme, the colors, the drums above the dance floor, uplighting, all of it.  It was so much fun to put forth all the effort and see it all come together on our wedding day.

I’m very detail oriented so put a lot of effort into the details. I did have a day of planner that kept things in order and helped with the flow which was great. I bounced different ideas off of her the month leading up to the wedding, which helped a lot too. I think my colors were pretty unique. I used a nectar with browns, ivories, and golds.  I hadn’t seen it before, but thought it would go well together.  Plus my now husband looks great in brown and earth tones so I knew regardless that that color of tux would look fabulous on him.

Something else that was unique was that I had guests throw mini beach balls that said “I had a ball!” at Jeff and I as we walked out of the church.  It was so much fun!  I also had a treasure chest/time capsule that asked guests to leave “well wishes for the new Mr. and Mrs.”  We vowed not to open the chest until May 7, 2012, one year later.

I also did a lot of home made things to make our wedding unique. I designed my own table numbers using frames and paper from Hobby Lobby and cut out the numbers myself.  I also made home made sign that said “Dinner, Dancin’ and Drinks” which my dad made out of wood and myself and friends painted.  Also, I used Etsy a lot.

   Thanks so much everyone! We had an absolute blast and had such amazing talent to help make everything come together on our wedding day and appreciate everyone!

   Kristie - The clutch is from Etsy. com. I used that website for lots of things like gifts to parents, grandparents and a wedding card box.
