[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Immersing ourselves in the love story of Alina and Pavel, we discovered that their future family has a guardian guiding them, and it is a wild cat. Alina’s favorite animal is the panther, while Pavel is a Leo by zodiac. The symbol of the trendy lounge bar in Toronto where the couple met is a leopard, which the couple learned about with pleasant surprise during the concept presentation.

Wild cats, known for living in prides, create a close-knit family unit led by a dominant leader. Since Alina decided to take her husband’s surname after their marriage, the wedding was beautifully named “The Levin’s Pride”.

In developing the designs and sketches for the project, we harnessed the limitless possibilities of AI. Our goal was to create entirely new visuals that seamlessly blend Africa with Italy, the tropics with European architecture, and the past with the future.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]One year before their wedding, the groom planned an unforgettable surprise during their trip to Lake Como. After a scenic boat ride, they arrived at the enchanting Villa La Casinella. Awaiting Alina in the villa’s gardens was a breathtaking scene: a romantic dinner table nestled within a heart crafted from vibrant red roses. The stunning setup reflected the groom’s love and anticipation, creating a beautiful memory they would cherish forever.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]As dusk settled over the garden, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. Guests mingled, drawn to the open bar that promised an array of signature cocktails inspired by classic Italian recipes.

The Levin’s Pride was the first cocktail to catch their attention—a refreshing mix of prosecco, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. Guests savored the fruity notes, laughter bubbling up as they clinked glasses.

Next, the Safari Spritz emerged, its vibrant combination of Aperol, prosecco, soda, and orange brightening the evening. The drink’s effervescence mirrored the cheerful chatter surrounding the bar.

Not to be outdone, the Lion’s Roar, a bold blend of Campari, prosecco, soda, and orange, made its entrance. Its striking color and robust flavor captivated adventurous spirits.

The Panther’s Kiss followed—a sweet, fruity cocktail featuring raspberry liqueur, peach schnapps, and champagne. It was a favorite among those with a penchant for dessert-like drinks.

For the more daring guests, Jungle Fever offered a tropical escape with tequila, lime juice, and a medley of fruit juices. Each sip brought a taste of adventure, sparking conversations about travel and exploration.

Meanwhile, the culinary show unfolded nearby. Chefs skillfully prepared Italian cheeses and salami, while tempura finger foods sizzled enticingly. The aroma of fresh pasta and truffles wafted through the air, drawing everyone closer to the action.

As the evening progressed, a four-course dinner featuring traditional Italian dishes awaited. Each course was a celebration of flavors, from rich antipasti to hand-crafted pasta, followed by delicious pizza and expertly grilled meats.

With a backdrop of laughter, good food, and delightful cocktails, the night blossomed into a memorable celebration, a true feast for the senses.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The ceremony decor took an innovative approach, blending the inspiration of the tropical rainforest with high fashion, all enhanced by the capabilities of artificial intelligence. We drew from the new art movements of the METAMODERN era, particularly the conceptual OXYMORON, which employs contradictions to create a striking stylistic effect.

The essence of our decor concept for the dining area was a synthesis of wild natural beauty and the structured elegance of modern design. We envisioned a future where the chaotic beauty of nature coexists with the organized sophistication of minimalism. Chromed accents and clean lines provide a striking contrast to vibrant greenery and delicate florals, resulting in a captivating harmony.

Imagine futuristic lighting casting dynamic shadows that mimic the dappled sunlight found in the jungle. Our design incorporates a combination of watercolor illustrations and AI-generated patterns, alongside handcrafted elements and cutting-edge printing techniques. The custom monogram reflects the refined style of Hermes, adding an elegant touch.

Guests will be treated to thoughtful gifts, including custom beach bags, handmade silk scarves, and a selection of Italian delicacies: Cinzano, Amaretti cookies, and olive oil, making the experience truly memorable.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The decor of the 4 Levels All Milk White Cake was truly stunning. Created by the talented Parisian pastry chef from Made in Cake, this cake featured a rich cream custard layered with fresh berries. Its design was inspired by the delicate beauty of wildflowers, which brought a light and airy feel to the event. To enhance the overall aesthetic, the cake was displayed on a table with a sleek, futuristic design, creating a perfect harmony between nature and modern elegance.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]The ceremony took place with the accompaniment of a white piano. A lyrical tenor performed “OH, MY LOVE” from the movie Ghost as the bride walked down the aisle.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Our team designed custom costumes for the dancers to welcome guests and perform during dinner, drawing inspiration from the spirit of wild animals and the “Sci-Fi” artistic genre. As guests arrived at Villa Balbiano, they were greeted by professional dancers in these unique outfits. In the evening, the event transformed into a vibrant jungle scene with futuristic costumes and vocal techniques, all enhanced by a captivating display of live primal fire. When Alina and Pavel approached the cake, a magical backdrop came to life behind them—pyrotechnic cascades flowed from above, resembling waterfalls deep in the jungle. The contrast between delicate floral motifs and striking pyrotechnics created a mesmerizing effect, symbolizing the harmony of beauty and dynamism found in nature’s most exquisite landscapes.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The unconventional seating plan became a true entertainment for guests during the aperitif. To find their seat, a guest would ring a bell, state their name, and receive a glass of prosecco along with an elegant card featuring their name and table number.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]The welcome dinner at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo was a vibrant ode to life, presenting a fresh interpretation of the Dolce Vita concept. The celebration combined the rich, warm hues of the Italian sun with the refreshing blue tones of Lake Como.

For the pre-wedding dinner, we created a unique seating arrangement featuring mini liqueurs. Each guest was selected and gifted a unique liqueur—Limoncello, Gin, Amaretto, Amaro, Rum, Brandy, Campari, Tequila, and others—totaling 52 different types of miniature bottles.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed a variety of culinary shows: woks, pizza, barbecue, flambé shrimp, tempura, and a mozzarella bar. Guests were also treated to an open designer cocktail bar featuring personalized drinks all evening long.

The vibrant moments of this day were captured by two talented photographers—Alex Gaidashev and Inna Nova.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The overall vision for our wedding was to allow our guests to experience the love we have for the mountains. Most of our guests have never been to Colorado. So when it came time to decide on where to get married, it seemed fitting to choose the same state where we had our first trip together as well as where David proposed. Come wedding day we wanted the mountains to be the main “decor” with touches of natural floral hues. Looking back, the vibe for that day was love in the mountains.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]David and I had been together for 4 years at this point. We decided to take a trip with my family to Colorado for my birthday. The week was filled with adventurous hikes, horseback riding, and late nights by the fire. But little did I know that my dream of being proposed to in the mountains was about to come true. On the day of my birthday we packed up our lunch and decided to hike up to Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Once we arrived at the lake with picturesque mountain views, David got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Saying yes was the easiest decision I have ever made.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]It took endless searching for that perfect wedding dress, but for some reason none of them felt like they were the one. Until one day I was scrolling through my mood board and came across a dress by Alena Leena that I was always drawn to. So I called around to a few shops to see who carried the dress and ended up at A&Be Bridal that next day. The moment I had put it on I just knew this was the one. In the end I ended up choosing the dream dress that I had saved on my phone months prior to searching.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Each one of my bridesmaids is so unique and has impacted my life in different ways, so I wanted their dresses to reflect that. I told them my vision for wanting natural hues and floral detailing, from there they just knew which dresses to look for. As for my maid of honor, she was my something blue.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]David bought his suit from Jos A Bank and it was the perfect look for what we envisioned. We wanted a more natural color and texture so we chose a tan linen suit for David and a light gray for the groomsmen.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The signature drinks were a special detail to our wedding day. We had “The Charlie,” a smoked old fashion and “The Lizzy” a c’est la vie. Not only were they delicious and our usual drink order, but it was also a way to incorporate our dogs in our wedding since they were not able to be there with us.
[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]I wanted something unique, soft, romantic, and garden style for our florals and decor. Think French provincial but in the mountains of Colorado. I chose to incorporate potted plants throughout the venue for a more natural/organic look while also wanting to bring them back home with us to replant in our garden. I had told Calla Lane Florist my vision and they did a beautiful job creating a floral design that would complement the rest of the decor.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Lemon Lavender and Chocolate cake have always been our favorite flavors. But what made our wedding cake extra special was that my mom made it for us. She has been a professional baker ever since I was a little girl so having someone else make our cake wasn’t even in the picture.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Having my brother officiate our wedding made our ceremony more meaningful and personable. What I loved most was the feeling of stepping back in time as he told stories of David and I’s relationship blossoming over the years. As for our music we chose Texas Capital DJ to play the violin during our ceremony and it couldn’t have felt any more magical.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Being a wedding planner and planning my own wedding definitely had its perks. What made the day more beautiful was how I was able to see it all unfold through the eyes of being a bride. Not only was I already familiar with the planning process but I was able to take all the details I had loved when planning other weddings and add them into ours. I couldn’t have planned our dream wedding any other way.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]My goal when planning my wedding was to make sure David and I enjoyed every moment with each other and our guests. Just the thought of all our close relatives and friends in one place celebrating our love for eachother seemed like pure bliss. Looking back not only do I wish I could relive it, but I am grateful at the fact that we were present during every moment. For that we will savor those memories for the rest of our lives.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Our exit was actually a surprise to us. Stand By Me by Ben E. King began to play as all of our family and friends gathered around us on the dance floor for our last dance. At that moment we felt an immense amount of love from all our favorite people. It was the perfect end to a beautiful day.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

HOW THEY MET: The day was March 6th, 2021, and I was at DFW Airport’s Gate B34 about to hop on a flight to Panama City Beach, FL. I caught a glimpse of Olivia for the first time walking down the terminal with friends, one group of several girls trips on my flight that day. I boarded and grabbed my seat, 6A. Shortly after that, Olivia sat right next to me in 6C, both of us in face masks. I spent about five or so minutes trying to figure out what to say to her first, and in the most creative fashion asked, “Are you going on Spring Break?”. I am known to have the best pickup lines… She replied and soon we figured out that we were both seniors in college, moving to Dallas, and starting our careers in commercial real estate. We chatted it up the whole flight, from takeoff to landing. In the end, I asked for her number and asked her if she wanted to go out when we both got back to Dallas. A week later, we did exactly that. However, the date lasted much longer than either of us expected. All evening, we zipped around Dallas to more than several spots that we still hang around to this day. Turns out, that was the first of many dates, with many more to come. Olivia connected with my family instantly, particularly my sister Abby, which made me fall in love with her even faster. My closest friends loved her just as much. After two years, we still make great, wonderful memories every single day. PROPOSAL STORY: Jack asked to marry me on the back porch of his family home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. We celebrated with a beautiful dinner at home with our families right after. It was the best day!

The decor included over-the-top pink and coral florals, with touches of blue and sage green. There were touches of American airline details in the cocktail hour napkins, as well as the services dressed like American Airlines flight attendants. Likewise, photos of their parents were hung up on the welcome board. For the rehearsal Dinner, Alice and Aprocat transformed the Adolphus Hotel into New Orleans to reference where Jack grew up in. Furthermore, the welcome dinner was a Texas theme. They ended the night with a second-line band parade in Dallas to share Jack’s New Orleans traditions with their guests.

Classic, white geometric cake. Fun fact, after Jack and Olivia cut the cake, they had their bridesmaids do a traditional New Orleans cake pulling, where they pulled out a charm with a fortune.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Alexis and Truett’s Montage Palmetto Bluff wedding weekend was a perfect blend of glamorous, sumptuous details with a neutral color palette and romantic design. The couple, originally hailing from Florida, wanted to create a perfect wedding weekend for their 100 guests from near and far that exuded sophistication and personal touches throughout. The couple worked with the planning team at Amanda Rose Weddings to concoct a design that was filled with candlelight, towering floral compotes of orchids, and local foliage. The couple chose to have their first look on the Palmetto Bluff property, nestled underneath the ancient oak trees and Spanish moss of the Village Park Square of the property. An intimate, candlelit ceremony in the May River Chapel treated guests to heartfelt vows and stunning views of the May River at the back of the chapel. Guests were ushered to an outdoor cocktail hour on the lawn, featuring plenty of refreshments for the hot summer day, and live jazz music playing in the background while guests and the couple mingled. As the sun began to set over Bluffton, the couple joined their guests in the Oak Ballroom of the property, where they were treated to an all-white reception design filled with candles, glass, and white orchids and roses down three long king tables to encourage guest mingling throughout the evening. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]The couple met in late 2018 at a locals favorite country bar in Orlando, Florida, where the two met by chance and immediately hit it off, dancing the night away together. Alexis, a physician, was just about to leave the Orlando area for New York to complete her medical school rotations, and the two agreed to keep in touch as she embarked on her newest adventure. When Alexis found herself back in Orlando for additional rotations, the two reconnected and made things official.

Alexis’s medical career brought her to Chicago in 2021, and the couple embarked on a 1200-mile,18-hour long distance experience. Despite the distance, the two of them made it work, and in 2023, Truett surprised Alexis with a trip to Napa Valley, where he proposed to her at a favorite vineyard! [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Alexis opted for a striking Galia Lahav wedding gown that featured a fitted bodice with intricate lace detailing and delicate floral appliqués throughout the garment. Wanting something a little different than the traditional white wedding gown, Alexis adored the ‘just barely blush’ coloring of this gown, paired with a slight shimmer throughout. The dress included straps adorned with floral accents, adding a whimsical and ethereal touch to the look. The bodice featured a deep, sweetheart neckline and parallel cut for the back. Flowing from the fitted waist, the skirt was voluminous with layers and layers of tulle, creating a soft and dreamy silhouette that was perfectly complemented by the gorgeous light and lush greenery of the Palmetto Bluff property. The gown extended into a dramatic train that was mirrored by the bride’s gossamer cathedral-length veil in the same tulle featured throughout the gown.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Alexis’s bridesmaids’ gowns were perfectly elegant and coordinated, complementing the bride’s gorgeous blush Galia Lahav wedding dress. Each bridesmaid wore a gown of floor-length chiffon in a light neutral blush tone from Azazie, adding a gentle, ethereal vibe to the wedding’s overall color palette. The dresses had a halter neckline with a keyhole detail, creating a contemporary look. The chiffon fabric was perfect for the hot summer wedding day, lightweight and flowy in body, creating lots of visual movement and keeping the bridesmaids comfortable. Like the bride, each bridesmaid carried an all-white bouquet of orchids and roses, completing their neutral yet glamorous overall look.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]Truett and his groomsmen kept things classic in two piece tuxedos, finished with black bow ties, crisp white tuxedo shirts, and velvet smoking slippers. [/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]In keeping with the theme of their Lowcountry wedding weekend, the couple worked with the catering team at Montage Palmetto Bluff to develop a menu that was delicious and southern. Guests were immediately greeted with signature cocktails as cocktail hour began, featuring a ‘his and hers’ offering of a Blueberry Mule and a Peaches & Bourbon. Cocktail hour also featured passed hors d’oeuvres of caprese bites, chicken and waffles, mini lobster rolls, and bacon-wrapped dates.

As the couple and their guests danced the night away late into the evening, late night snacks of mini milkshakes and sliders were passed around, much to their guests’ enjoyment! [/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]At the very start of the design process, the bride, working with her planning and design team at Amanda Rose Weddings, wanted to concoct a wedding weekend design that featured lots of neutral, lush floral design, dramatic compotes, and lots of candlelight throughout! Working with local Lowcountry floral designer, Kato Floral Designs, a design of whimsical, organic florals were created for the wedding day. The bridal bouquet was kept modern and clean, featuring an all-white assortment of white and ivory roses and a cascading flow of orchid blooms and stems down the front. The all-white design was carried into both the ceremony and reception florals, which were both filled with white blooms, local lush greenery accents, and candlelight throughout.
For their May River Chapel ceremony, the couple opted for a design blending both the elegant and lush, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere as they shared their vows with one another. The aisle was lined with arrangements of white roses and orchids, paired with flowing greenery that cascaded over the sides of the wooden pews. At the altar, a wooden cross served as the focal point, framed by a large arched window that filled the space with natural light, giving an airy and open feel. Beneath the window, clusters of candles in glass cylinders were arranged in various heights, enhancing the ambiance with a warm, intimate glow. The combination of white florals, greenery, and candlelight complemented the chapel’s classic architecture, creating a beautiful and peaceful setting for the ceremony.
Alexis & Truett’s romantic reception in the Montage property’s Oak Ballroom was thepièce de résistance of their sophisticated, luxurious wedding and floral design. Three long king tables were set with tall, lush arrangements of white roses, hydrangeas, and other soft white blooms. These towering centerpieces created an elegant vertical element, drawing the eye upward and adding grandeur to the room’s vaulted ceilings and tall windows. Each table was arranged with plenty of candles in clear glass and touches of gold throughout. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Alexis and Truett opted for a gorgeous, all-white three-tiered wedding cake from the Montage patisserie covered in white fondant and a cascade of white fondant orchids. The cake featured tiers of Southern Magnolia Wedding Cake, with yellow cake and chocolate icing and candied cashews throughout, as well as Yellow Hawthorne Wedding Cake, with dark chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and peanut butter cups.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

After more than a decade of creating memories together, Michael knew he wanted his proposal to be something truly special. With South Africa holding a special place in their hearts, he chose the breathtaking backdrop of Table Mountain to pop the question. As they stood there, taking in the stunning views, Michael suddenly dropped to one knee, completely catching Jennifer off guard. It was a moment that felt like it was straight out of a dream, with the crisp mountain air filled with excitement. When Jennifer said yes, it was as if the whole world stood still, marking the start of their next chapter in the most beautiful way possible.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Jennifer knew she had found something special when she came across the Jess dress by Eva Lendel online. She was immediately drawn to its timeless elegance and the way it seemed to blend modern sophistication with just the right amount of romance. It was the first dress she tried on, and as soon as she saw herself in the mirror, she knew it was the one. The gown’s delicate lace detailing and graceful silhouette perfectly matched the vision she had for her wedding day. It wasn’t just a dress; it was a reflection of how she wanted to feel—elegant, beautiful, and completely herself.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

When it came to her bridesmaids, Jennifer wanted them to feel as stunning as the setting of her Mallorcan wedding. She envisioned dresses that were chic and flattering, with a relaxed elegance that would harmonize with the island’s natural beauty. She chose soft, muted tones that complemented the serene surroundings, and the flowing fabrics added a touch of grace to each bridesmaid’s look. Jennifer was thoughtful in her choices, ensuring that the dresses didn’t just look good, but also made her friends feel beautiful and comfortable. The result was a bridal party that perfectly captured the effortless elegance of the day, with each bridesmaid radiating her own unique beauty.

[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]Michael knew that he and his groomsmen needed to look sharp, but he also wanted their outfits to reflect the laid-back vibe of a summer wedding. He opted for classic suits in light, breathable fabrics that were perfect for the warm Mallorcan weather. The suits were tailored with clean lines and modern cuts, giving the men a polished look without sacrificing comfort. To add a personal touch, Michael selected accessories that subtly tied into the wedding’s color palette, ensuring everything was cohesive without being too matchy-matchy. The groomsmen’s attire complemented the bridesmaids’ dresses beautifully, creating a look that was both sophisticated and perfectly in tune with the relaxed, sun-kissed atmosphere of the day.[/field]

On their way to the “watch party”, he pulled over at a beautiful park and asked Kali to go on a walk with him. At that moment, Kali knew he was proposing! Hayden had set up flowers and champagne at an overlook in the park and proposed there. After he proposed, Kali’s siblings came out from hiding (they were taking photos and videos of the proposal). They all drank champagne and then headed to a party with their family and friends to celebrate at Kali’s parents home. [/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Jessica Hennessey Weddings imagined a sophisticated winter wedding in the heart of the city at the luxurious Mandarin Hotel. This design exuded modern elegance with a chic palette of black, white, and gold, capturing a timeless sophistication that is both bold and glamorous.

A crisp neutral floral palette, accented with rosey hues and deep burgundy accents lent a fresh, wintry feel, while a mix of sleek black and gold linens elevated each table setting, creating a stunning contrast. Tall glass candle holders cast a warm, ambient glow, reflecting softly off of polished gold accents throughout the space.

Modern, overhead floral installations set an enchanted garden tone for an unforgettable evening. With every detail, from minimalist place cards to a classic white-tiered cake adorned with floral accents, this winter wedding at the Mandarin is a celebration of modern chic sophistication.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]From Gianna + Craig: We had the most perfect low-key proposal on Christmas Eve! We were spending time with our families in the kitchen when Craig said he had something he wanted to show me in the living room. Every year we had purchased a new ornament for our Christmas tree to grow a collection together, but that year, we had not purchased one. Walking into the living room, Craig told me he went and bought an ornament to add to our collection and told me to look for it. Once I found it, he mentioned what it represented and then started to talk about our future together. He then dropped down on one knee and proposed! I’m sure many couples can relate when we say the rest was a bit of a blur because of the rush of emotions we were both feeling, but it was the perfect evening. We were able to experience the intimate moment of having our proposal be just us two then having our families come in and celebrate afterwards. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]From Gianna: I had ideas on what I was looking for in a wedding gown, and this dress exceeded all of those expectations. At Reem Acra, I first saw this dress with my mom, mother in law, sister and aunt and it blew me away. Toward the end of the appointment, the dress consultant said she had one more dress to show me that didn’t have long sleeves (something I really wanted) but thought it perfectly fit the vibe of our wedding. The second she brought the dress in and took it out of the bag, I had a jolt in my body and said “I think that is my dress.” I know it is cliche, but it really was a pinch me moment. I tried it on and everyone had a rush of emotions and also felt it was the one. Since it was my third appointment trying on dresses, though, I was very nervous to say it was the dress because there are just so many options and I was afraid I didn’t try on enough. I went on to try more dresses but ultimately kept comparing all other ones to that one. I then knew that was my dress and went to try it back on. I had the same feelings as I did when I first tried it on and knew it was my dress! We were able to add custom gloves for a sleeve effect, which made it even that more special!

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Going with the sleek sophistication theme, the long, mismatched black bridesmaids gowns were a perfect fit.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]From Gianna + Craig: We wanted to make sure people always had access to food and drink with little to no wait throughout the night. With that in mind, we added another bar in the Mandarin’s cocktail space and had both passed hors d’oeuvres and extra stations during cocktail hour. The Mandarin provided the best drinks and most delicious food! We still get compliments from people on how the food for cocktail hour and dinner was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. It’s truly top notch![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Gianna + Craig’s wedding design radiated refined elegance and luxury, transforming the Mandarin Ballroom into a sanctuary of modern sophistication. It was super important to them that their wedding feel winter and not holiday-focused, considering their date was early December. We created an opulent canopy of lush florals, blending neutral floral, soft rosey tones, and deep crimson accents, created two ethereal overhead installations that captivated guests and elevated the room ambiance with the feeling they were looking to achieve.

The tablescapes were draped in rich, black velvet and shimmery gold linens, perfectly offset by gilded chargers that added a lavish touch of grandeur. Delicate taper candles in sleek glass cylinders cast a warm, ambient glow, enhancing the intimate yet opulent atmosphere. Low, meticulously arranged floral compositions mirrored the overhead blooms, unifying the design with a sense of balance and artistry.

Every detail curated with Gianna + Craig was meant to evoke a feeling of upscale, contemporary elegance, creating a truly memorable and sophisticated city wedding experience. Molly Anne Photography captured this feeling in the most perfect way![/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]From Gianna + Craig: We chose a private cake cutting! The day is such a whirlwind of a day that we wanted to have a private moment between us. Everything happens so fast and we felt this was a way for us to reconnect and soak in the day just us two with no audience. After our room reveal, we got to cut it together and get a delicious taste just the two of us before the night’s festivities continued.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Leslie Lee Floral Design’s overhead floral installations were a statement of understated luxury and meticulous craftsmanship. Cascading from the Ryan Designs ceiling trellis, each arrangement featured a carefully curated neutral palette, punctuated by deep burgundy and crimson blooms for contrast. The lush, cascading greenery added texture and volume, creating a suspended canopy that softened the space while introducing a refined, gardenesque element. Each stem and smilax branch was strategically placed to create a balanced, layered effect that felt both abundant and intentional. The installations hovered just above eye level, inviting guests to immerse in the details up close. [/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]For the overall design of the wedding, we wanted something very tasteful, classy and elegant.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Andy wanted to make sure everything was ‘hidden in plain sight’ so he asked Suzy’s entire family to be in Charlotte for Father’s Day weekend 2023. Andy’s family also snuck down into Charlotte without Suzy knowing. They went to grab a couple drinks before dinner at the Charlotte City Club with one of Suzy’s best friends, who unbeknownst to Suzy was the decoy. Her friend was unfortunately “running a little late” and at that point Andy and Suzy had been requested by the hostess to sit at the table prepared for them. However, the “table” was a private room that Andy and Suzy were escorted to, with floral arrangements, champagne, photographer, and videographer. Afterwards Andy told Suzy they had to drop the flowers off at home to then celebrate with our families at her sister’s house, only to be surprised by both of their entire families at Andy and Suzy’s home.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Suzy was looking for a gown that was simple, comfortable and elegant. She loved the square neckline of her @annebarge dress, the slit in the skirt and who doesn’t love pockets! For her “something blue”, Suzy had always wanted to wear the famous “Sex and the City” blue @manoloblahnik heels. The team at @beautyasylum achieved the best hair and makeup to compliment the dress.

When it came to the reception, Suzy wanted to do something fun and different than the ceremony dress. She chose to go with a white mini dress from @retrofete and changed her hair into a party ponytail.

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]Andy and Suzy wanted to showcase two of their favorite meals at Quail Hollow Club, the filet and crab cakes. They made sure every guest was able to enjoy the same dishes they enjoy whenever they have dinner at Quail. The specialty cocktails were presented by their dog, Mack. Mack knew his parents favorite two drinks were the Old Fashioned and the Spicy Skinny Margarita so he wanted to make sure they were able to have them on their special day. The real kicker at the end of the evening was the surprise cigar and bourbon bar. This had been something Andy had wanted to do, just casually set up a bar outside toward the end of the night with good cigars and good bourbon, and it was a major hit! Late night snacks with fries, mini burgers and the famous “hummers” at Quail Hollow club were just what everyone needed prior to departure!
[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]When it came to decor, flowers were one of the most important things to the couple. The team at @florasoulstudio were able to capture our vision with a beautiful mixture of pastels coupled with lots of baby’s breath sprinkled throughout. The chuppah was executed flawlessly and continued to the reception as an amazing backdrop. The reception tables had a mixture of different florals along with gorgeous blue tapered candles throughout. We added in the blue velvet chairs from @curatedeventscharlotte which really added the best final touch. The couple wanted to incorporate their wedding crest into the day and found small ways to do it by adding it on the programs, menus, cigar wraps and napkins and placed it in the center of the dance floor thanks to @redeyedesigns. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We wanted a very simple, yet elegant wedding cake that was also delicious! @forgoodnesscakes absolutely brought our vision to life with the classic three tiered white cake with swiss dots and a beaded border.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]We wanted to incorporate our family into our ceremony and thought having our siblings read the Seven Blessings (sheva brachot) was the perfect option. We wanted our ceremony to be intimate and therefore, chose to forego a wedding party and just wanted our parents and the officiant at the chuppah. We chose to go with a violinist and cello playing beautiful music throughout the ceremony. The groom went for a very somber processional song, Ashokan Farewell by Ungar/Mason, while the bride’s procession was the beautiful Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Arlen/Hamburg. Following the ceremony, the bride and groom danced to the reception with the recessional music Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest.

For the reception, some of our favorite memories was the couple’s first dance song to one of the groom’s favorite band, Mango Tree by Zac Brown Band. The Hava Nagila was the best way to kickoff dancing for the evening and ending the night with the 90s Hip Hop Medley from @royalsuitsband was the best!!
