A wedding in the city

The one thing I love about Charlotte is the magic you feel when you're uptown in the city. There are people walking into restaurants, bars, museums, and sometimes just enjoying a stroll. The best thing about the city is that it's alive and it's beautiful. I had my first indoor wedding this past Saturday at Foundation for the Carolinas, which is an art gallery that has a spectacular 4th floor open window room with a balcony that was perfect for having a wedding. It was modern yet elegant and the view was truly to die for. I have to say this is now one of my favorite venues. The food featured was catered by Queen City Catering and it was delicious. The cake was 4 layers of chocolate cake with a butter cream coating and hints of cream cheese between the layers. Everything about the wedding including the food was charming and classic, but still modern and chic. I have to say I'm enjoying my internship..maybe a little too much!

Grandfather Vineyards in Boone, NC

From the moment I arrived at Grandfather Vineyards, I fell in love. It was absolutely beautiful, a perfect spot for an outdoor wedding. I went with Beautiful Day Weddings (my current wedding coordinating internship) to help assist in coordinating Chris and Amissa's wedding. We visited on Friday for the rehearsal and when we were done, the groom bought us a bottle of wine to enjoy outside on the patio. On the following day was their wedding, which turned out beautiful and was catered by Gadabouts. Gadabouts brought prime rib, sweet potato biscuits with ham and apple butter, cheese stuffed mushrooms, and spinach artichoke dip. It was A-mazing! I literally did not want to leave and I hope I will get to visit again soon! Best venue ever!

First wedding of the year!

I attended my first wedding of the year last night for my cousin and her new husband. I just had to take a picture of the awesome wedding cake! I'm so excited to begin my internship with a wedding coordinator this summer, and attend many more weddings! Cheers!
