Wedding Winter

3, 2, 1...Happy Newlywed Year! Catherine & Nathaniel's NYE Wedding, Charlotte

12-22-17

The countdown to your wedding as exciting as it gets—unless your wedding date happens to fall on New Year’s Eve, like Charlotte couple Catherine and Nathaniel. In that case, multiply that feeling by a million and one.

Embracing the wintry beauty of their surroundings at the Cabarrus Country Club, Catherine and Nathaniel went classic with a touch of luxe. A rich color palette of burgundy, black and gold set the tone with a gilded touch at every turn—perfect for a holiday wedding!

Catherine’s outdoor bridal portraits are stunning. Her bridal style? Winter princess. We love the romance of her dress, fitted with a delicate lace bodice that billows to a fairytale-full skirt. Her fingertip veil with scalloped, lace edging completed her look. While the men looked dashing in all black, the ladies stood out in graphic, statement-making bridesmaid dresses of flowing black chiffon layered over a gleaming gold bodice.

Catherine and Nathaniel’s wedding photographer captured the sweet emotion of their first look. Afterward, they were whisked away to capture the magic of golden hour. Following a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. James the Greater Catholic Church, it was off to Cabarrus Country Club for a magical reception.

The flowers were a good mix of fresh and festive. Of-the-moment succulents and greenery balanced the warmth and drama. The wintry floral theme continued at their reception, accented with rustic touches, like cuts of timber and pinecones that contrasted gleaming gold candle votives. Golden succulents even cascaded down their otherwise simple five-tier cake.

The twinkle of holiday lights added another golden touch—a key benefit of having a holiday wedding. They light up your photos with magic that’s built right into your venue. And how perfect were their favors? Golden noisemakers poised to trumpet at the strike of midnight!

And just like that, the calendar turned over into a newlywed year.
