Olivia wore a stunning high-neck, jacquard gown that suited the day flawlessly. With florals surrounding them the entire day inside and outside, it only seemed right that they should adorn Olivia’s gown as well. It was complimented by her Loeffler Randall bow heels & purse.
The groom’s black tuxedo and Brackish bowtie seamlessly melded with the vibrant spring greenery and the estate’s rich emerald hues, creating a perfect blend of sophistication and refinement. In a serene corner of the property, Olivia and Eric shared a heartfelt first look, their tender exchange framed by the spring foliage and the quiet anticipation of their afternoon ceremony.
As the day unfolded with increasing excitement, there were joyful waves, enthusiastic reactions, and plenty of laughter. Below, Olivia’s father saw her for the first time, and her matron of honor shared a video she had captured of their first look.
Guests arrived in Downtown Charlotte for an early afternoon ceremony at St. Peter Catholic Church.
As the guests arrived for the evening reception, the soft, glowy sunlight cast an inviting glow over the venue, enhancing the ambiance. The space was further illuminated by flickering candles and complemented by signature cocktails, adding a touch of personalization and elegance to the celebration. Guests took advantage of photo opportunities with the lush floral landscape and engaged in lively conversations both indoors and outdoors, enjoying the gorgeous spring evening.
As Olivia and Eric performed their first dance on the checkered floor, their smiling parents looked on with pride. Stellar toasts were given by the matron of honor and best man, followed by the cutting of their cake.
As dusk fell, the dance party took on an air of elegance with soft lights illuminating the venue and a talented saxophone player setting an upbeat tune. Guests glided across the dance floor and the enchanting combination of twilight and live music created a truly memorable atmosphere for this wedding at VanLandingham estate, making the night feel both intimate and extraordinary.
