Wedding planner Evelyn wanted to include as many local wedding professionals in this Uptown Charlotte wedding styled shoot as possible. 

“As planner and designer, the effort and talent every vendor added to this shoot was phenomenal and more importantly the styled shoot portrays the beauty of Charlotte and what we all call our home,” Evelyn says. 

A Skyline Fit For a Queen 

With incredible views of Uptown Charlotte from the rooftop, it’s easy to see why the Queen City is a dream to get married in! The sky-high rooftop of Springhill Suites is where this styled shoot took place. The rooftop location offers a spectacular view of the surrounding buildings, including The Spectrum Center and First Ward Park. The Hornets’ Nest Ballroom and Rooftop Patio are perfect event spaces for your Uptown Charlotte wedding reception. 

Spring-Inspired Wedding Color Palette

Bright spring-inspired colors were used in this styled wedding shoot. Multi-colored flowers, candles, drinking glasses and chairs brought in touches of bright colors that were accented with touches of silver and gold to complete the look of the shoot. Orange and light pink colors were used throughout the entire design to show future brides that embracing bold color schemes is 100% doable. Cohesive colors created a special ambiance of fun times and happiness.

The Wedding Dress

The beaded lace wedding dress selected for this shoot was from Charlotte Fabulous Frocks. The gown added texture to the styled shoot and was paired with a delicate, simple veil. The bride’s gold headpiece helped tie in the greenery around her bouquet of flowers. She also wore a pair of blue suede heels that matched the fabric tied around the bouquet of flowers.

Wedding Planning – Down to the Details

Themes of spring, clean and fun were used to complete the wedding cake design for the big day! Icing flowers, a pearled icing technique layer and classic smooth pink and gold layers brought the whole cake look perfectly together. Flowers and matching candles surrounded the table while a beautiful cityscape sparkled in the backdrop.

The table settings also highlighted the bright playful colors of Evelyn’s styled shoot. Orange napkins and pink glasses brought the spring theme to life! White and pink linens were laid upon the tables and accents of silver and gold glasses and tea light candles were placed around the flower centerpieces.
