Charlotte, you definitely live up to your name. The Queen City is regal, elegant and just plain beautiful…and the 1st Charlotte NotWedding was right in line with those adjectives. These gorgeous images from the Levine Museum of the New South last month are too good. It is with great excitement that we share the event highlight from this inaugural North Carolina event.

Inspiration

Despite the warm temperatures in the Queen City in August, our Charlotte vendors were able to work from this inspiration board to create a sense of being suspended somewhere between winter and spring…a sort of goddess in the garden feel. They were challenged to use as many natural, imperfect elements as possible and incorporated rough-hewn, organic accents in their design. The result was quite incredible – don’t you agree?
