Classic Carolina Inn Wedding – Historic Chapel Hill Wedding Venue on UNC Campus

Christina and David’s Carolina Inn wedding day was elegant and filled to the brim with crisp white decor. The couple had fallen in love with the quaint design and Southern hospitality of the beloved Chapel Hill wedding venue and used its natural beauty to complete their wedding design. With tasteful white flowers by Tre Bella Flowers amid the elegant Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, this wedding was classic perfection. The elegant affair was captured by the impeccable Bronwyn Duffield Photography -a Chapel Hill photographer with a fine art style.

White Peony Bridal Bouquet by Durham Wedding Florist, Tre Bella Flowers

Tre Bella Flowers is a Durham wedding florist that expertly serves the Triangle area’s brides and grooms. Christina had the most elegant white bridal bouquet of peonies that paired with the white decor of the day. It perfectly complemented her strapless sweetheart neckline bridal gown that was sure to take her groom’s breath away! This classic Southern style fits in perfectly with this Carolina Inn wedding.

We are always thrilled when here at SB&G get to see the work of Bronwyn Duffield Photography. Our love for her runs deep, as seen by our stunning fashion editorial photographed by her for the 2018 Southern Bride & Groom Magazine – also set at The Carolina Inn.

Bronwyn’s photography style is a fine art feel with an airy touch to it. She captures each moment of your engagement and wedding with real life passion displayed in each photo.

White and Gold Elegant Carolina Inn Wedding Reception in the Old Well Room

It’s not only the outside of The Carolina Inn that makes a perfect scene for a wedding. Among numerous little nooks in the venue, the Old Well Room is one of the most gorgeous and elegant ballroom you’ll ever see. With classic black and white flooring, black and gold columns and hanging chandeliers, this ballroom is a favorite for a Carolina Inn wedding reception.

Christine and David completed the room with Tre Bella’s creations of white hydrangea flower arrangements that sat on the reception tables that gave the room even more class. The tables were finished with understated floating candles and all white tablescapes.
