Elegant Southern Wedding with a Playful Twist

A pretty pastel rose and peony bouquet, a ceremony at the church the Bride grew up attending, and a gorgeous couple—this North Carolina affair has all the makings of a perfect Southern wedding. And when you add the Bride’s sparkly pink shoes, trolley transportation and colorful ribbon wand exit, it’s the loveliest mix of traditional and fun. See it all from Robyn Van Dyke Photography in the gallery.

From Robyn Van Dyke PhotographyChris & David met when they were just 16 years old at summer camp and they’ve been together ever since! They planned a very classic, southern, and meaningful wedding and said “I do” at the very same church that Chris grew up in. The most beautiful garland adorned the church doors and there were garlands and candles in each of the big church windows. The bride wore a pearl-studded gown and ribbon sash while the bridesmaids wore a soft shade of full-length pink dresses, and all the men wore classic tuxes with suspenders and bow ties! Gorgeous southern blooms in shades of white and blush were used, and pops of gold at the reception tied everything together beautifully! We also loved the unexpected fun details the bride incorporated to bring out their personality from her sparkly confetti Kate Spade heels to the rainbow ribbon wands for their exit! They also made sure to leave time for some special moments with their family & friends that day, and the bride gave a handwritten note to her father to thank him for being such a godly, loving example of what a husband should be like before exchanging letters with the groom during their first look! What a perfectly sweet, classic southern wedding!
