More Details: Our wedding was absolutely perfect. After our engagement, I spent many days looking on Pinterest and fell in love with the concept of black and white stripes. It’s so classy. Along with our black and white theme, I decided to incorporate blush and gold as accent colors, which made everything even more vintage and romantic. It was absolutely amazing how our wedding planner and design coordinator Dana, from C&D Events, was able to turn my Pinterest vision into a reality with her team. My favorite part of the wedding was getting to marry my best friend and dancing the night away with around 200 family members and friends.

I loved my wedding dress. Before visiting New York Bride & Groom, I had already narrowed down my wishlist to wedding dresses with beautiful trains and full skirts — drama! When I saw my dress on the hanger, I was mesmerized by the beautiful laser-cut lace and full dramatic skirt. I tried on many other dresses during my visit, but still came back to this one. When I put it on a second time I started crying and just knew it was the one I wanted. Our bridesmaid dresses and tuxedos also came from NYB&G of Raleigh. The bridesmaid dresses were very different due to their striped pattern, but the silhouette was perfect and the pattern was ideal for our theme.
