The vision behind Elizabeth’s wedding design was playful elegance – bringing a modern twist to an elevated garden party. We took the classic blue and green palette to the next level with a pop of fresh teal, and married several underlying motifs: scallops, stripes, florals, and dots. Every element blended so harmoniously for an indescribably perfect wedding day for Elizabeth and Chase.

Locals to Charlotte, NC, Chase invited Elizabeth to dinner and a walk through a park in uptown. Chase proposed in front of a beautiful fountain with a hidden photographer capturing the precious moments. He then surprised Elizabeth with an engagement party filled with all their closest friends and family after.

Elizabeth’s gown from Angolique bridal perfectly complemented her petite figure and showcased her elegant taste. When she put on her gown as the fourth dress in the line-up, she says she “just knew” and didn’t want to try on anything else.

The light blue bridesmaids’ dresses from Bella Bridesmaids were the perfect shade of blue to complement the wedding color palette. Elizabeth also selected bridesmaids’ PJs to get ready in that perfectly matched the design of her wedding shoes with a bold green lattice design.

Groomsmen wore slate blue suits and light blue ties to complement the wedding design and the bridesmaids’ dresses.

From the passed espresso martinis to the custom scallop serving trays, there was never a dull moment in the food and beverage category of this event. We brought the subtle motif of Elizabeth’s save the date pattern through to the base of the serving platters and on the backs of the bar shelving in the stunning central bar of the sailcloth tent. Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails in carefully curated glassware to match the aesthetic of the event.

The most important element of the stunning sailcloth tent design was the tree installations on each sailcloth tent pole. These trees, expertly fabricated by Becca Zorn Design, brought the event ambience to the next level. BBJ La Tavola’s stunning Josephine Sage linen was the foundation of the wedding design. This linen included every single color in Elizabeth’s palette, and inspired the muted teal ecustom-painted central bar and fun pops of light chartreuse in the napkins and stationery.

Elizabeth and Chase chose to skip the traditional wedding cake and opted for delicious local ice cream from Clare’s Creamery. And the cohesive light chartreuse ice cream truck was to die for!

One of our favorite aspects of Elizabeth’s wedding was her curated stationery. Her custom scallop menu cards with watercolor-scripted names at the top were one of a kind. And her umbrella Lake Day invitation, combined with vibrant invitation suite elements, set the tone for the whole weekend.

Elizabeth’s head table napkin was a custom creation by the planning team combining two light chartreuse napkins, twisting them, and creating a bubble braid effect to give the appearance of scalloped edges.

By far my favorite element of the wedding ceremony was the alternating color of Curated Events chairs in each column. This created the perfect extension of the stripe motif with an aerial view.
