Though I certainly consider Charleston my home now, many may not know that I am a born and bred Tar Heel, raised my whole life in the lovely North Carolina!

With my entire family (when I say “entire family” I mean my parents, brothers, sister, and sisters-in-law!) all UNC-Chapel Hill alums, it has only made sense that I seek out weddings in the Chapel Hill-Raleigh-Durham area. WED loves to head up to NC for weddings and events!

This wedding in particular was a fun one for me to plan… it was my baby brother’s wedding, after all!

David and Christine met and fell in love at UNC and so it was fitting to host friends and family to come back to their alma mater for their weekend celebration. The rehearsal dinner was held in the gorgeous Morehead Planetariumon UNC’s campus, and the ceremony on Saturday evening at Chapel Hill Bible Church:

The reception venue- The Angus Barn Pavilion-  was absolutely stunning and was fabulously accommodating to us in every way… and the views of the lake were stunning!

We used an enormously talented photographer from the Raleigh area- Bill Broere. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and, as you can see, was able to capture stunning photos throughout the evening. **NOTE- he travels to shoot weddings!!

Being that we were in a barn, we kept the decor rustic but clean… white blooms in tin containers and candlelight everywhere!

We incorporated blue lighting on the uncovered patio… we needed at least a little Carolina blue in the mix!

And inside, we lit the barn in amber tones to offer warmth and soft ambiance…

The fire pit was a huge hit, even on the August night! S’mores supplies were brought out when the sun went down and everyone gathered around for a DIY dessert…

 I can’t believe my little brother is married… David and Christine, I love you both and it was such an honor to plan your wedding!
