Welcomes new clients Kimberly Arena & Charles Hill

CWD welcomes new clients

Kimberly Arena & Charles Hill

This groom had the perfect plan in place to propose during a trip to Italy.  Kim had no idea... good job Charles!!

We've been working really hard to set up the perfect team of vendors for this October wedding. Kim wants a traditional wedding and Charles wants modern so we've got the perfect plan in combining both requests.

Who are some of the incredible vendors lined up thus far?  Here are a few... St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Mint Museum Uptown, Critsey Rowe Photography, Cinematrimony, Jeff Brown via East Coast Entertainment (cocktail hour) & Split Second Sound.

With Stephanie living in Houston, TX and Bill in Oregon having a planner here to handle their August 2011 wedding details was a must!

Jaya and Derek | Wedding Photos

Here are a few shots from Jaya and Derek's wedding we did back in August.  It's crazy to think about how hot it was on this day as we are all freezing today!  Woke up and to 17 degree temps = nonsense!

Thanks to MP Photography for sending us these images!

CWD welcomes new clients

NAZ KHANDWALA AND VINH NGUYEN

Modern.  Sophisticated.  Multi-cultural.  Amazing.

The contract ink is barely dry and we're already diving in to the planning and design process with Naz and Vinh for their September wedding.  

They came to us wanting a wedding with the adjectives above, and that is what they're gonna get.  They did their homework & knew exactly what they wanted in their planner/designer - we're happy they chose us!

The customized budget is complete and we're beginning to tour venues this evening.  This couple has many things high on their priority list...unique food, photography, atmosphere, decor, entertainment.  We're so eager to introduce them to some of our phenomenal vendors.

Stay tuned for more details and updates!  Naz, I'll be seeing you in just a bit! =)

Food and Entertainment.  We know just what to do!

Megan and Mark we're so excited to get started!

We are truly thankful for all of our clients, past and present, as well as our fantastic vendors that bring our visions to life each and every wedding.

Over the Holiday we hope you enjoy every moment, eat way too much, take plenty of naps and remember all that you're thankful for.

We'll be back in the office on Monday!

Engagement Session | Kellyn and Bennett

This was a first for us, incorporating a huge horse into a photo session, but we knew we HAD to do it! Why? Because our bride Kellyn is quite the equestrian. This barn is very special & located on their estate in Waxhaw. They board their horses here and her mom cares for many of the horses daily. This is her award winning boy, Cody.

Sometimes living in Charlotte you forget how vast, beautiful and quiet the country is.....it was stunning.

After a little fashion/hair/makeup with The Look, we began our shoot with our friend and photog, Tara Mauldin.

Everything was working for us. The sun, the energy, the love, the beauty - EVERYTHING!

Enjoy!

Forest Hill Church will be the setting for the 'I Dos' and the Ballantyne Hotel will be the canvas for the reception.

Her mom wants a fabulous, stress free wedding for her daughter, decked-out in decor and impressive entertainment....and that's exactly what they are going to get!

Stay tuned for more details!

Gospel Choir sings at Wedding Reception

Everyone has been begging us to post this video.

We had a surprise 35 person live choir sing at one of our October weddings, as the bridal party and new bride and groom entered the reception. It was amazing - so POWERFUL!

Voices of Eden is their name and they are the BEST to work with...we'll definitely be using them again.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all of our blog family!

We hope you have fabulous plans that let you explore your inner creativity in dressing up in something fun this weekend! Stay safe and eat PLENTY of candy and chocolate =)
