Emilie and Stefan’s June wedding was enchanting, joyous, and truly romantic! If you ever wondered why June weddings are special, here’s one ancient explanation. June is named for Juno, who was the Roman goddess of marriage. Some believed that if you were married during this month, you will be forever happy.
“Oh, they say when you marry in June, you’re a bride all your life, and the bridegroom who marries in June gets a sweet-heart for a wife.” – Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
A beautifully restored chapel, All Saints Chapel in Raleigh, was the venue these two chose for their ceremony and reception. Since they wanted both to be in the main chapel area, a “flip” was made between the two. Below you’ll see the dreamy photos by Anna Fletcher Photography of the ceremony design which was expertly “flipped” to the reception.
Our vintage floral dinner plates and clear goblets donned the reception tables. To complete the tablescape, clear glass candleholders were tucked in among the gorgeous florals created by Folie a Deux.
When we met Emilie and Stefan, it was apparent that they were destined to be together. Regardless of what month or day they were married, they radiate a lasting love for one another! Best wishes, you two!
Are you planning your wedding and want to host a celebration that creates a story of you two and shows off your personal style? Perhaps you want your wedding day to be as unique as you are and give your guests an unforgettable experience. If so, consider a themed wedding!
Whether it’s as simple as using a specific color scheme or as elaborate as a Bridgerton-ese Tea Party, themed weddings provide a backdrop for unique decor, befitting styles of dress, games, and even food choices. Ian and Cathy chose their theme based on their favorite holiday, Halloween! What a bold choice, and by the looks of these photos, guests and the couple had a terrific time!
Ian and Cathy provided most of the decor but they needed just a few things to round out this spectacularly spooky evening. We were so pleased to have vintage red and purple goblets, brass candelabras, and gold flatware to add the finishing touches to this hauntingly, happy wedding day!
What else do you do at a halloween wedding party? Of course, solve a murder mystery! Looking at the expressions of the guests, you can tell this was a huge hit! Here’s what Cathy shared with us.
“We were playing a murder mystery game & our character names were “Finn Burgundy” & “Omar Black”… our guests had an absolute blast, which is what we were really after – we wanted our guests to have a different & fun experience & they sure did �� The mystery party was hosted by the Murder Mystery Production Co. & they were wonderful.” Cathy
