Weddings Lookbook

2019

LEFT Maureen Powell RIGHT Robyn Mangrum

Newly engaged couples are excitedly planning their nuptials as we near the 2019 wedding season, and we (now with a brand new name and look) are taking a look at the hottest trends for saying “I Do” in NC. But this year, we’re doing something a little different - we have done away with the dense blocks of text and long articles and transformed the magazine into more of a “look book” for the season.

Hence our new name Weddings Lookbook!

You can flip through the pages to find stunning large images of wedding gowns, floral arrangements, invitations, savory feasts and cakes to collect innovative ideas for your own wedding ceremony and reception. Think of the Weddings Lookbook as a Pinterest board or Instagram feed but in tangible print! You get the same inspiration while you enjoy flipping through the pages.

Outdoor and rustic weddings continue to rule the venue trends, and our styled shoots show you how you can get married in a popular location while still making the celebration your own. With the right choice of décor and attention to detail, we will show you how you can make your wedding stand out from countless others with the same themes that have been pinned time and again on Pinterest.

We are honored to be able to work with the local talented professionals who have created the beautiful weddings featured on our pages, as well as to be a part of our readers’ own planning process.

Congratulations on your engagement, and we wish you all the best with your wedding planning!

REAL NORTH CAROLINA WEDDINGS

A S H LE Y & J E F F by J E N N I F E R V. E V E N T S Ashley and Jeff were married on a beautiful day in March, just before the turning of the seasons. The flowers may not yet have been in bloom outside, but plenty of florals decorated the ceremony and reception space, and love was in bloom everywhere.

The couple showed off their love of the Carolina with details like napkins monogrammed in Carolina blue, as well as favors of drink coolers in Carolina blue.

Reception dĂŠcor was simple and elegant, including monochromatic centerpieces of lush, white florals, crystal vases and bowls, white votives, and white and gold table cards. A four-tier wedding cake carried through on the theme.

Every detail came together for this classy couple in order to celebrate their love in a classic, timeless manner.

REAL NORTH CAROLINA WEDDINGS

E R I N & TO R R I A N by A PA R A D I G M S H I F T E V E N T, L L C The world watches in fascination whenever there’s a royal wedding, and women everywhere think about their own fairy tale nuptials. At this real wedding the details were fit for a princess.

As Erin and Torrian said their vows, classical music complimented the ceremony, which was decorated in blooms of cream and blush. The bride wore a strapless gown with a long train and veil, and she carried a classic bouquet with cream and blush blooms.

The reception included tall centerpieces and swaths of soft chiffon that created a romantic and opulent atmosphere. The bride and groom sat at a sweetheart table that featured cream king and queen chairs. They had their first dance on a “cloud”, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

The tables were set with luxurious linens in shades of rose and wine, and the décor featured accents in gold and cream. The crown jewel of the evening was the five-tier wedding cake set atop a rose gold base.

Every detail in this wedding culminated to create a romantic yet luxurious night for this beautiful couple. The opulent setting exuded sophistication, grandeur, and romance, transporting the guests into Erin and Torrian’s fairy tale.

K ATE & J O S H UA by HARMONY WEDDINGS & EVENTS The Barn of Chapel Hill always provides a special setting for any event. Kate and Joshua stood in front of an altar of a large wreath of vibrant greens and classic, white blooms. Edison bulbs were strung across the porch, under the natural, wood beams. Rows of white, wooden chairs lined the space for an intimate ceremony.

The reception was held inside the barn, featuring round tables covered with white linens, dusty blue napkins, and a navy menu card in the center of each plate. The wooden chairs matched the exposed wood beams and pillars throughout the barn.

A rustic outdoor fireplace arranged with green garlands and bushy, white blooms served as the altar, and white chiffon was tied back with garland to line the space.

REAL NORTH CAROLINA WEDDINGS

ANNA & DEREK by JESSICA GEORGE WE DDINGS & EVE NTS This gorgeous, styled wedding at the Bella Collina Mansion showed just how beautiful a lakeside wedding can be. Fair Repair created the unique, copper arbor for the ceremony.

Lush arrangements hung from the altar, including blooms in shades of cornflower, russet, and peach.

The bride wore a romantic gown consisting of a lace top and a flowing, empire skirt. The bridesmaids wore smoky, blue sheaths with similar beaded sashes.

The outdoor reception perfectly reflected the elements in the ceremony. Each table was set in blue linen with copper chargers, drinkware, and flatware.

A stunning cake with off-set layers was the culminating piece. A medium blue layer supported a copper layer in the middle, which was topped by a light blue layer with white swirls, mimicking the clouds above. Wild flowers and natural elements topped the cake to tie it into the surroundings.

The altar was a backdrop of vertical, floral garlands with fat blooms in shades of pink and cream. The flowers were arranged from dark to light, creating an ombre affect. Smaller arrangements lined the aisle of pavers that cut through the grass.

Inside The Umstead, the reception was elegantly designed with gold-rimmed dinnerware set atop tables dressed in white linens.

M E GA N & TU R N E R by T H E G R AY LY N E S TAT E The Graylyn Estate provided the perfect backdrop for this lovely couple’s wedding. The ceremony and reception were designed to match the opulence of the setting, creating an extravagant and romantic ambience.

The ceremony was held in the gardens outside, and guests sat on high-back, white wooden benches organized in neat rows. The bride and groom said “I Do” in front of a floral- and greenery-covered arch.

The reception was the picture of elegance. Lace cloths covered the tables, which were paired with gold and cream chivari chairs. The centerpieces included lush blooms in shades of cream, blush, and rose.

The reception went through the evening, and guests were able to move indoors and out for dancing, drinking, and merry making. It was a truly magical evening for the couple as they started their happily ever after.

COMING TO THE RESCUE Not even a hurricane could stop this beautiful couple from getting married.

A NORTH CAROLINA REAL WEDDING

Hurricane Florence left a lot of damage in its wake, even though it ended up being a weaker storm than predicted. Many couples who were planning to get married along the coast had to delay or cancel their plans. But Chris and Jennifer, who had been planning to get married were able to have the celebration they wanted on Sunset Beach thanks to the help of some dedicated vendors – some of whom drove all day to get to the location and back.

The couple married on the beach in front of a private home, which the owner had repaired quickly to correct water damage before the wedding day.

The caterer delivered despite roof and flooding damage, the florist drove 18 hours to and from the venue, lights were strung on tattered palm trees, a close friend drove for hours to bring the beautiful, strawberry naked wedding cake topped with fresh flowers.

The bride’s mother and brother weren’t able to make it through the storm damage to get to the wedding on time, but all the other details came together perfectly to create a beautiful wedding despite the storm.

TO K YO N I G HT S Sometimes, the people that help you celebrate your big day deserve to be celebrated as well.

Weddings Lookbook toasted the best in the business with a Tokyo Nights themed party designed to look like a modern-day Tokyo nightclub. A full Japanese menu was served to the more than 120 guests at the party, including traditional dishes like dim sum, roasted edamame, pho, noodle bowls, and a sushi station with live slicing. Japanese whiskey was passed, as well as traditional desserts like mochi and sesame donuts.

Appetizers and small bites were served on black slabs, along with chopsticks. Tables were adorned with Japanese inspired florals.

Seating areas were placed throughout the space to let guests mingle and enjoy their drinks and appetizers. Natural elements were featured throughout.

Guests were sent home with individually wrapped boxes of colorful macaroons. It was an amazing night celebrating with the best of the wedding industry in North Carolina.

C H ATH A M S TATI O N Vintage charm and glamour inspired this 1940’s styled shoot at Chatham Station.

Long, wooden tables were used for the reception, and they were paired with bronze, metal chairs. A variety of flowers in colors like fuschia, burgundy, peach, and blush were placed in small vases down the center of the tables. Details like antique books and colored glass added unique touches to the décor.

Instead of a classic guest book, the space featured a station asking guests to write the couple a telegram with advice, memories and thoughts for marriage.

A WEDDINGS LOOKBOK STYLE SHOOT

The wedding cake had a modern, minimalist sensibility, but its detailing matched the rest of the décor.

Other details included an Italian ice stand, a pyramid tower of champagne, and hanging Edison bulbs. The entire wedding celebration transported guests back in time.

TH E CA N N O N R OO M Bold design elements and striking colors came together to create this unique styled shoot at The Cannon Room.

The flowers on the metal archway altar and in the centerpieces included a juxtaposition of bold and subtle shades, including burgundy, bright gold, and pink. The flowers were arranged in a lush bed of greenery flowing on all sides. Golden chairs with a grid backing provided the stylish seating.

Classic dishes like roast beef and deviled eggs were served in a novel way, such as on long plates with unique garnishes.

The final touch for the shoot was a two-tier cake with gray frosting and piped with a thin line of gold detailing along the wavy lines.

O LD LYS TR A I N N Channeling Shakespeare and one of his greatest plays about love – “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – seemed like the perfect choice for this styled wedding shoot set at the idyllic Old Lystra Inn in Chapel Hill.

All the dreamy details were chosen to look like a wedding celebration and feast in a magical forest.

Reception foods were presented on a succulent buffet table decorated with woodland inspiration. Lanterns and animals statues were mixed in with the natural décor.

Foods included roast chicken legs, succulent figs, and fresh vegetables.

The three-tiered cake featured an off-white, almost smoky frosting that seemed inspired by the full moon.

A WEDDINGS LOOKBOK STYLE SHOOT

Reception tables were set up to be a bit more formal without losing some of the magical, woodland elements, such as centerpieces of wild flowers and golden goblets.

E V E NT S AT O P U S The ceremony focused on modern design. The bride carried an oversized bouquet of wildflowers in autumn tones like garnet, gold, and rose.

Traditional French Country elements were featured most prominently in the styling for the reception. Toile print China with flowers and other elements created the table design. The table numbers featured roses and greenery, created in a handcrafted, watercolor style.

Toile vases were also interspersed among the table dĂŠcor to contribute to the theme of the setting.

The wedding cake further enhanced the French Country theme and had a simple, romantic design entirely made of delicious crepes.

A simple altar replicating driftwood was artfully adorned with sprays of greenery and tiny buds, and two large, green plants flanked the aisle. A bouquet of white blooms with lush greens created a gorgeous study in contrasts.

The reception took place at the SoundsidePavilion with amazing sunset views overlooking the water.

Boughs of fresh greenery hung from the ceiling and Simple accents were used throughout the to reflect the seaside view.

WEDDINGS

LET ME TAKE YUO TO THE BEACH

at J E N N E T TE ’ S P I E R

Paige and Mark exchanged vows in a touching ceremony, giving them and their guests an intimate view of the ocean and the rippling waves from an old, wooden pier. They stood in front of a wooden arch adorned with white chiffon and green garland.

Inside the banquet room, the reception was decorated in whites and golds, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere.

Swags of greenery with white blooms and twinkle lights hung around the room and transitioned the look and feel of the room as the day went on.

Guests were able to look at the sunset in front of the pier while at the same time overlooking the ocean on the other side of the pier as the night came to a close.
