Love knows no bounds, and amidst the charming streets of Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, a beautiful love story unfolded—Kourtney and Kyle's spring wedding. Their special day was a perfect blend of elegance, eco-consciousness, and heartfelt moments that left a lasting impression on all who attended.

An Idyllic Beginning: The First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte

The ceremony took place at The First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, a historic venue that set the stage for a beautiful union. The moments leading up to the wedding ceremony are often filled with excitement and anticipation, but nothing compares to the raw emotion of a "first look" between the couple. In this intimate exchange, they have a moment of private connection, knowing that they are about to embark on a new chapter together. And to make this experience even more heartfelt, Kourtney and Kyle choose to read love notes to each other. With trembling hands and teary eyes, they shared their deepest feelings, expressing the love and promises that will soon be sealed at the altar. It's a tender experience that sets the tone for the day, reminding them why they chose to walk this journey of love hand in hand.

The Grand Bohemian Hotel: A Reception to Remember

Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests made their way to The Grand Bohemian Hotel for a reception fit for royalty. The hotel's opulent setting, adorned with white and blue florals from Sweet T Flowers, perfectly complemented the elegant theme chosen by the couple.

Kourtney and Kyle's wedding was a great example of how elegance and eco-consciousness can harmoniously coexist. From the decor to the dining, every detail was thoughtfully curated to minimize the environmental impact while maintaining an upscale experience.

Upscale and Eco-Friendly: A Perfect Balance

Kourtney and Kyle’s wedding proved that sustainable choices can still create a luxurious atmosphere. By renting all of their decor, the couple minimized unnecessary waste, and opting for plated meals rather than buffet-style dining further reduced their ecological footprint.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the couple's eco-friendly approach was their decision to donate the floral arrangements to a nursing home after the wedding. The florals from Sweet T Flowers brought joy to the residents, spreading the love from their special day to those in need.

Last year, I had the pleasure of working with a lovely bride named Vania, who entrusted me with her dream wedding. You can read about her day here! As fate would have it, Vania happened to be one of Kourtney's close friends and bridesmaids. It was an honor to be a part of Vania's special day and ensuring that the wedding was a seamless and unforgettable experience. Little did I know that my dedication would leave a lasting impression on Kourtney. When it was Kourtney's turn to tie the knot, she remembered Vania's wedding and how smoothly everything went. Kourtney decided that she, too, wanted to work with the same planner! The feeling of knowing that my passion and commitment had left such a positive impact on one bride and led to another bride choosing me to be a part of her journey filled my heart with immense gratitude! Love truly has a beautiful way of connecting us all, and I couldn't have been be more thrilled to be a part of Kourtney's love story!
