Greensboro Wedding Ideas and Inspiration

Eclectic Textures and Adventurous Colors at McAlister Leftwich House

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Katie and Brad share a love of unexpected pairings of bold, adventurous color, and the palette is a reflection of their sensibilities through and through. We leaned into a spectrum of color including orange, reds, pinks, and also utilized rich green. To balance all of the bright colors, we also used some classic black and white in thoughtful ways. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]When Katie and Brad first approached us about planning and designing their wedding, we immediately bonded over Katie’s mood board she had prepared. It was full of bright colors, rich and moody candlelit motifs, and eclectic pairings of textures and shapes. It was the very best kind of design challenge and our mission was to bring her vision to life in a way that was elegant, refined, and still every bit as bold and unexpected as the mood board she presented at the outset. Katie is an avid gardeners, so fresh flowers were incredibly important and we had such fun finding ways to incorporate some of her favorite blooms in unexpected ways. [/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]In planning an intentionally intimate wedding with under 40 guests, the cadence and sophistication of the dinner party were of the utmost importance. Guests enjoyed a beautiful five-course plated meal that included an appetizer trio of salmon tartare cucumber slice topped with balsamic caviar, petite prosciutto chicken roulade with honey belle chevre and fig jam, mushroom and gruyere tartlet with balsamic glaze, followed by a second course of arugula and spinach salad, a third course with sesame crusted tuna, followed by herb crusted beef tenderloin, and a dessert course of wedding cake. The meal was decadent, and wonderfully paced to incorporate ample time for conversation, laughter, toasting, and set to the ambiance of candlelight and live jazz music.
[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]If there is one word we would use to describe the overall approach to decor it would be: crescendo! Upon arrival, guests were seated for the ceremony where gold urns with white hydrangea and dogwood branches flanked the ‘altar’ space. Katie carried a bouquet of delicate feverfew daisies, and her bridesmaid carried a simple bouquet of white lilac.

After cocktail hour, everyone transitioned down a hallway to dinner in which they witnessed the full color palette develop and take shape through an ombre progression of color. The hallway was lined with thousands of carnation stems, arranged from lighter champagne and blush hues to resplendent pinks, reds, and wine tones before the hallway opened up into the dinner room where all of the colors sang together in an elegant candlelit display of dinner tables.

Katie shared with us that in her own home, she loves to arrange flowers by single floral type in each vase, so we adopted the same approach, filling the table centers with clusters of flowers arranged by type and color. Floral elements included everything from peonies to tulips, hellebores, garden roses, ranunculus, stock, and sweet peas.

In addition to the traditional dinner centerpieces and expected arrangements, guests enjoyed a few surprises to delight the senses, including edible pansy garnishes in tray-passed champagne, and a colorful explosion of floral elements to highlight the cake display. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wonderfully talented team at local bakery, Louie and Honey’s Kitchen, created a small cake adorned with edible pansies that made for the perfect addition to the reception space. Two cake flavors were offered to guests, including brown sugar cake with salted caramel buttercream and blackberry lemon cake with muscovado buttercream.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Instead of a traditional guest book, Katie surprised Brad with a vinyl record of favorite songs, and guests were encouraged to sign the jacket. It was such a fitting surprise for a groom who loves music and has an extensive collection of vinyl. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The artwork on the stationery suite served to give guests a taste of what they would experience at the wedding. It was a joy to incorporate two of Katie’s favorite flowers – daisies and pansies – via original watercolor artwork. A silk black ribbon tied the invitation components together with a tag to denote the attire would be black tie. [/field]

Berry + Pink Southern Wedding Inspiration at McAlister-Leftwich House

This, my loves, is my dream color palette. I went with something slightly similar for my own wedding—and if I could do it all again (to my husband, of course!) I’d try to replicate this exact combination of hues. It’s really perfect for any time of year, but it sings so beautifully to fall and winter. With the floral genius of Eliana Nunes, every single bloom is woven together to create the loveliest array of berry, pink, blush, peach and golden ivory. Join me in the full gallery captured by Hillary Muelleck to start off your Monday-after-a-long-weekend just right.

From the vendor team… Fall has taken a whole new direction in this southern charm wedding inspiration. With the newly revitalized McAlister-Leftwich House as our backdrop, its North Carolina colonial architecture mixed with fall vibes really influenced a new color palette this season. We wanted to keep the fall feeling without overusing warm tones.

Eliana of Eliana Nunes Floral & Event Design kept things soft and romantic when choosing linens, place settings and flowers, with stunning arrangements in the ceremony florals, table landscape, and cozy candlelit fireplace display. While using soft muted tones in the cappuccino roses and peach ranunculus, she also added touches of deeper hues by incorporating the blue viburnum berries and burgundy ninebark foliage.

Priya of Piachella Calligraphy designed and calligraphed all the paper goods using a handmade paper, wax seals, and painted envelope liners to add that perfect hint of texture. Jeanne of Artsy Cakesy crafted a stunning three tiered cake with painted detail up the side in addition to a mix of gum paste greenery and gold floral accents for added warmth.

Katie and Laura of Blush and Bobby’s composed the most timeless makeup look which was also complimented with a romantic updo. In keeping with the elegant and romantic theme, a gown with intricate beading throughout the bodice and flowing skirt from Dashing Dames Bridal was the perfect fit. We also couldn’t pass up working with Lauren from L. Priori Jewelry for some truly unique rings including a remarkable moonstone engagement ring.

Hillary Muelleck Photography felt that using film photography would best translate the rich colors as well as the overall romantic feel our team had envisioned. For the bride and groom who want a fall color palette while still keeping things soft and rich, look no further!

Saturday Morning Movie: An Elegant + Traditional Indian Wedding

An elegant wedding is always a winner but add in the infusion of the Bride and Groom’s Indian culture and this piece by Light Cannon Films becomes extra special. From the vibrant colors of the florals and the attire to the never-ending smiles, love and dancing, it’s a whirlwind wedding that we are more than eager to get swept up into. Sit back and enjoy these five minutes of pure joy!

Summer Weddings

From Light Cannon Films… Awanti and Alok are the whole package. They are gorgeous, obviously. They are smart – Awanti is a lawyer and Alok is a dentist. They have a huge circle of supportive friends, they cherish their family. They’re fun, they’re performers, they sparkled in the spotlight of their wedding weekend. And they are the best of friends. For their 3-day event, family came from across the globe to witness their union. Awanti did much of the planning herself, which is a feat that we cannot imagine accomplishing. It was a beautiful, colorful blend of Indian and American traditions, making it truly their own.

When a Wedding Planner Gets Married, This is the Beautiful Result.

We’ve long admired Leigh Pearce for her ability to infuse pretty into many a wedding. But today? We get to relish in the beauty of her very own Big Day. And boy are those details lovely—but she sure does steal the show. Don’t miss her story below and when you’re done, head to The Vault for the full gallery by Anna Paschal!

From the Bride, Leigh Pearce Events… After tossing around some ideas about destination weddings, my high school sweetheart, Bryan, and I decided on a local wedding with a small guest list of only 65 of our closest family and friends. We chose the Weir-Jordan House in downtown Greensboro for our venue and set the date for October 22, two days after our 14 year dating anniversary. We loved everything about the Weir-Jordan from it’s Southern antebellum feel to it’s rich history (it is one of the oldest houses in Greensboro). It checked every box for us — an outdoor ceremony space, a spot for a tent, and an amazing in-house caterer.

Next step – select our bridal party! We ultimately decided not to have a large party — all of my girlfriends are married with children or pregnant so I wanted to make the day as relaxed and enjoyable for them as possible. We all got ready together and it was SO much fun. Surprisingly, my best friend from high school went into labor in the middle of the night before the wedding and obviously had to miss the wedding. I took my wedding dress and crashed her newborn session a few weeks later so we could have pictures together! My sister was my maid of honor and looked beautiful in her Jenny Yoo gown .. the fabric and layers of her dress tied in with mine perfectly. Bryan’s best man, in true Southern fashion, was his father. They looked so dapper in their black tuxedos! Some of my other favorite fashionable details were my pearl necklace and my shoes. My two favorite movies are Steel Magnolias and Father of the Bride. My mom, sister, sister-in-law, and best friend hosted a Steel Magnolias themed bridal shower for me, complete with red velvet armadillo cupcakes! As an homage to Father of the Bride, I was on a mission to find some cool sneakers and fell in love with these lace high tops from Anthropologie.

Funny enough, Bryan is the one that brought up the idea of a first look! I am wedding planner so in all my sharing about work, he must have picked up a thing or two. Their is an upstairs, private, Charleston-esque porch at our venue that was an ideal location for a first look. Although we decided not to give each other wedding gifts, I surprised Bryan during our first look with my dad’s gold cuff links. He passed away a few years ago and I thought it would be the perfect way to have him there in spirit. After our first look, we hopped in the car for photos at a favorite local spot, The Proximity Hotel. We really enjoyed having some alone time together before the craziness set it. We highly recommend it!

For our design, we kept everything elegant, timeless, and classic. Our florist, the Farmer’s Wife, has always been our family florist so it was a no brainer to work with Stacy on our wedding. She is truly like family and created floral magic for us! Maxie B’s made my wedding cake dreams come true with our stunning cake (and Bryan’s dream come true with a layer of Devil’s food cake!). One of my only major must haves was a clear top tent with big chandeliers and a black and white dance floor that I could twirl on. Mission accomplished!!

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect and by far, my favorite part of the day. I loved our music selections: an instrumental version of Rivers and Roads by The Head and The Heart for our parents and wedding party and an instrumental version of Amarillo by Morning by George Strait, my dad’s favorite song. We had two special readings. A scripture reading by one of our very best friends as well as poem read by Bryan’s sister. We walked back down the aisle to a mash up of Ants Marching and Ode to Joy.

After the ceremony, we sent our guests inside to warm up and for cocktail hour and dinner. Stacy with Savory Street Catering created an amazing custom menu for us! Some of the highlights were pulled pork and collard egg rolls with mango chutney, crab hush puppies with Cajun aioli, butternut squash ravioli, beef tenderloin with white cheddar grit cakes, and mini tomato pies.

After dinner, we danced the night away! Our first dance was “You & Me” by Dave Matthews Band. We have been to countless DMB concerts so it was only fitting that we danced to Dave. The chorus is also perfect for a few twirls! Later in the evening while cake was served, we offered a few more desserts. Bryan has a serious sweet tooth and is, hands down, the biggest Pepsi addict you will ever meet. We offered ice cream float shooters along with cake.. three kinds: Pepsi, Sundrop, and Cheerwine. So good!!

We ended the night with a glowing sparkler exit and hopped in a London taxi cab headed for O. Henry Hotel. It was the perfect day and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience!

Classic Weddings

From the beautiful Bride… Once we got engaged, Andrew (my now husband!) and I discovered that we had two very different visions of how we wanted our wedding to look. Andrew wanted formal and traditional and I wanted informal and unique. However, we both agreed on how we wanted our wedding to feel: fun, joyful, and celebratory. We wanted our guests to experience our joy and love. We wanted them to feel comfortable enough to let loose, dance and enjoy each moment of the ceremony and reception.

With the help of our wedding planner Leigh Pearce, we found a beautiful middle ground in the design of our wedding. Everything came together in a way that represented both of our personalities. For the ceremony we were able to combine the traditional feel of Phillips Chapel with the lively colors in the flowers and bridesmaids dresses. The reception was held at Revolution Mills, an old renovated cotton mill. This location gave the reception the unique touch that I was looking for with the industrial elements of the building while still providing Andrew with the classic look of the rich dark wood and exposed brick that ran throughout the venue.

Of course, it was the décor that truly melded our styles together. Soft whites, pinks and mints were punctuated with golden yellows, bold pinks, and sumptuous teals. Milk glass and gold vases, soft patterned linens, and candlelight made the tables feel luxurious, timeless, and airy. Prior to the wedding everyone warned me to enjoy my food tasting because that would be the last time I’d get to taste my wedding food. WRONG. I was actually able to sit down at my wedding and eat our delicious dinner of elevated southern comfort food!

Then came the dancing! One of the many reasons that I chose Revolution Mills was for the dance floor. Many previous brides who had enjoyed their receptions at this venue opted for a dance floor upstairs with the dining area. However, there was a beautiful downstairs area that was framed in by the large double staircases. I loved the idea of having something different than any other wedding I had ever been to. We decided to make that downstairs area our dance floor and string Edison bulbs across the banisters making a canopy over us as we danced the night away. It was a brilliant idea! I loved being able to see our guests surrounding us as they stood on the bannisters to watch our first dance.

I’m sure that I’m forgetting a million important details as I’m describing one of the most beautiful days of my life. However, what really stands out to me when I think of my wedding is how the day felt. I remember taking a moment to pause during dinner to look around the room. All I saw were smiling, laughing faces. The room felt relaxed and full of joy! I was sitting next to my amazing husband and surrounded by people who loved us very much. While the entire event seems like somewhat of a blur, I will always remember that feeling. That feeling of being unbelievably blessed, loved, and grateful for it all.

Traditional North Carolina Wedding at Proximity Hotel

I always look at the Groom. At the moment when the entire guest list turns to focus on the Bride as she walks down the aisle, I turn my head in the opposite direction to look at her soon-to-be husband. And it never fails to make me shed a tear or two. But I do believe Julie Livingston captured one of my favorite reactions to date of this Groom’s first look at his Bride. It’s a look of overwhelming emotion, and that carries out through every picture perfect moment planned by Leigh Pearce Weddings in this gallery.

From Leigh Pearce Weddings…Natosha and Justin’s Proximity Hotel wedding in Greensboro was one of my all time favorites. It was an absolutely perfect day without a single hiccup or cloud in the sky. Natosha and Justin’s love for one another is palpable and my staff and I were simply honored to witness their day. And don’t even get me started on their design. I was completely head over heels for every last detail from the custom menu cards we created to the gorgeous textured bouquets to Natosha’s “blue suede shoes” to the herb and boxwood aisle marker wreaths that smelled amazing. My favorite detail was our gold feather ceiling installation. It was absolutely stunning and caught the light in the most beautiful way. Julie Livingston captured every fabulous detail and soul touching moment.

Graylyn Estate Wedding from Nancy Ray Photography + Erin McLean Events

When I heard that the groom leaned over to Nancy Ray Photography in between shots to ask “What are the chances we get this featured on Style Me Pretty?” I died. First of all, the fact that his bride loved us THAT much made us all blush. And second, how sweet is the groom for knowing exactly what will make his bride happy? I can’t even get to how amazing the wedding was, planned perfectly by Erin McLean Events, because I just love this couple SO much so you’re just going to have to click here for the gallery!

From the groom… From the moment Katie began planning the wedding her goal was to make the event personal and charming; to stay away from the systematic and ordinary.… and she did an incredible job. The wedding was large, but had an intimate personal feeling. Katie worked and researched tirelessly to find the vendors and touches that would ensure our day was perfect. There were many times that I would get a quick e-mail at work with nothing but a Style Me Pretty link. The wedding was a perfect portrait of us… From the his and hers food (Sushi Chef et all) to the 12 piece band; the night was a celebration to the life we are looking forward to and the friends and family who helped us get there. Katie is and will continue to be my life’s greatest accomplishment… and the wedding was the perfect acknowledgement of that.

From the bride… Christian and I got engaged in Paris on July 27. It was truly one of the happiest days of my life and the excitement of planning instantly began. Secretly, I had already planned out our wedding using the SMP boards. I found out that my groom had been promoted and that we would be moving to Texas six months before our North Carolina wedding… NOT IDEAL. With the help of my sweet mother, dear friends, and Erin, we were able to plan most of the wedding before I moved. I found Erin using the Style Me Pretty Vendor List and she was an instant help in transforming our ideas into a reality.

My idea was to make the wedding personal by doing a “His and Hers” theme and exhibiting all of our favorites. For the cocktail hour, we served tomato soup and grilled cheese (my favorite) and sushi rolls (Christian’s favorite) among other things. The Graylyn staff was amazing and courteous. They made sure that all of our guests were well fed and comfortable. As the guests were transitioned to the tent on the front lawn, Christian and I got to share a quiet moment, sampling all of favorite foods that would be served for dinner.

The twelve-piece band, led by Andrew Thielen, was the perfect fit for our large crowd. They kept everyone dancing and even played some Disney songs for the little ones. The food was by far the most thought out part of our night. We served an array of our favorite dishes, from chicken pie (Her’s) to fish and chips (His). After dinner, we served the most delicious cake from Maxie B’s (Her’s) and a variety of milkshakes (His). Our photographers, Will and Nancy Ray, and videographers, Heart Stone Films, were able to capture every moment. They were such a joy to work with. Our wedding was a wonderful time of celebration and it was exactly what Christian and I had hoped it would be.

From Scott Piner Photographer…A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of travelling to Summerfield, NC for Sara & Corey’s wedding. I have been in and around Greensboro quite a bit but never to Summerfield. My goodness, I love that place with it’s rolling hills, lakes, and horse estates. I also have to say that Sara and Corey are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. I mean….genuinely kind people with fun friends and family. And, yes, I did tear up when Sara’s brother brought down a bouquet during the ceremony in memory of their mother. This is the kind of day I could shoot over and over again.

Eco-Chic Southern Wedding by Abigail Seymour Photography

Just glancing at this first wedding had me instantly smitten. Abigail Seymour’s images reside in a happy spot where casual elegance and a dash of southern charm co-mingle in such a beautiful way. And as if that weren’t enough for a major wedding crush, this little soiree also happens to be fabulously eco-friendly. Gorgeous and Green? Yep, the swoon factor just went through the roof. See every last pretty detail designed and styled by Leigh Pearce Weddings in the little ol’ gallery.

see all the pretty details in the gallery!

You could say that this wedding owes its Southern charm to an anonymous little kid selling lemonade on her front lawn — one day last year Jennifer and Craig (neither of whom are born and bred Southerners) were walking in their Greensboro, North Carolina, neighborhood and came across a little girl calling out in a thick drawl, “Lemo-nayyyyde, come getcha some lemo-nayde!” Something about that moment cemented for both of them that they wanted to settle in the South for good — and, of course, host their upcoming wedding there.

Jen and Craig’s starting vision for their wedding style came from their recently purchased 1930s bungalow — it represents their shared love and appreciation for family, history, and is itself a perfect balance of new and old. Their home is a very eclectic mix of vintage family treasures and modern design, so they worked closely with a planner to bring these ideas to the wedding day. Every detail of their day was every bit as stylish, thoughtful and eco-friendly as the couple themselves.

Some of the Green Details…

* The whole event was hosted at The Proximity Hotel, the nation’s most cutting-edge LEED-certified “green” hotel.

* Their invitations were tree-free, and they used chalkboards instead of escort cards to conserve resources.

* The table cards (each with a different favorite Southern-ism) were made with recycled paper, and the locally-grown flowers were displayed on the tables in a mix of apothecary bottles and glassware rented from the florist.

* The keys that were hand-tied each key with raffia onto dried lavender for the aisle flowers were rented from a local antiques store, as was the antique birdcage on the gift table.

North Carolina Destination Wedding by Kellie Kano

We are beyond giddy for this pretty, pretty North Carolina destination wedding. It is residing in a happy place where traditional elegance and timeless beauty go hand in hand. Not to mention the fact that the bride planned everything from across the Atlantic; no easy feat as most of us can attest to. Photographed by the lovely Kellie Kano, this is a lesson in romance, glamour and complete city chic and we are enamored with the result. You can find even more from this delightful day in the gallery.

From Kellie Kano:

This couple planned their destination wedding from Jersey Island, off the coast of France. The Bride, Beatriz wanted to find a venue that reflected their Uptown NYC style with clean lines and lots of soft, romantic details. Since she and Dwayne lived in NY prior to their move to the Channel Islands, they wanted something with a NY feel and instantly fell in love with the Proximity Hotel’s light-filled rooms and chic design. With only 80 guests in attendance, their wedding was very intimate and over half of their guests flew in from overseas. I adored the light, airy feel of the centerpieces and how the lace linens played off the lace bodice of Bea’s Christos gown. Everything about this wedding was classic, timeless and romantic.
