Heather & Caleb Make a Bright Choice

August 18, 2020 by cs_admin Leave a Comment

When Heather and Caleb toured Chatham Station in mid-spring of 2019, their plan was to get married in June of 2020. We all agreed it would be a beautiful occasion for Cary native Heather and her groom-to-be Caleb, who serves in the military.

The Couple

The couple soon after found out that Caleb would be deployed and in a bold move, decided to move their wedding date up to August of 2019. Considering the state of affairs in June of 2020, they are probably feeling pretty smart right about now. Of course, with the help of favorite local vendors Heather chose, like Brides and Bouquets and the venerable Once in a Blue Moon bakery, we were all able to make it happen.

Pre-Ceremony

Both Heather and Caleb dressed at Chatham in our dressing suites, with the mothers helping out with details and special moments. The bride had a first look with her father and bridesmaids before being escorted down the aisle. Everyone was beaming on what turned out to be a gorgeous late summer day in Cary.

The Ceremony

Guests walked up the patio and entered through one of our large bay doors to access the ceremony site. The vows were spoken in front of a white arbor that complemented the natural tones of the space and embellished with asymmetrical floral sprays in gentle hues. The bride chose striking flowers, such as anemones, hydrangeas, and various types of roses that were both traditional and understated.

Next to the bridesmaids gowns in a deep blue, everything looked elegant and was well-planned and the prevailing mood of the room was soft and ethereal.

After the I Dos, as guests mingled before the reception, the newlyweds sneaked off for photos at the nearby Page-Walker Hotel and a local fountain that was lit in a beautiful shade of purple.

The Reception & Details

The details of the reception were as thoughtful, elegant and clever as the couple. Each guest table featured a special photograph of the couple and all were adorned with a mixture of white lanterns, floral arrangements, gold accents and blue napkins that matched the wedding party’s attire. Other glassware and fabrics were in subdued tones of blue, lavender and cream.

The cake was a traditional tiered affair with buttercream frosting and after the couple was introduced and toasted, they danced in the idyllic summer evening light.

They couple moved out west to prepare for Caleb’s deployment and, we are happy to share, are expecting their first child. Congratulations and cheers to Heather and Caleb.

Chatham Station and the newlyweds are happy to share their vendor list with you.

Ashley & Zack’s Elegant & Modern Wedding

January 22, 2020 by cs_admin Leave a Comment

What An Entrance!

The Couple

If the image above tells you anything, it’s that this couple is not afraid to live big. They entered their reception with a fabulous dance number that impressed and delighted their guests. Transfer that energy to every detail of their day and you have Ashley and Zack!

These two live in dynamic Chicago, but their ties to Cary, NC brought them back for their October wedding last year. They brought elegance, vibrance and fun with them and were extremely hands-on and intentional with their day and all of the details that made it special.

The Ceremony

Couples with a vision create amazing wedding day memories and these two are not only deeply in love, but it was evident that those in attendance were extremely important to them too.

After Zack walked to the front of the aisle, he took time to greet their large wedding party who were filing in and made everyone feel warmly welcomed. When the sheer curtains were drawn to reveal Ashley, however, he and others were clearly moved. In that moment, this fun-loving couple was ready to say their vows with solemnity and grace.

From behind the veil …

Ashley was graceful in a sleek, modern, sleeveless form-fitting white gown that included a dramatic veil and train. She carried an all white bouquet, featuring primarily roses and anemones.

The Reception

As previously mentioned, Ashley and Zack made a grand entrance from the patio into the reception space and danced before their 170 guests. Their nearest and dearest loved it and clearly they had fun too!

After dances with their parents, the couple sat at a beautifully decorated exposed wood head table and listened to several emotional toasts from loved ones. The sense of togetherness and inclusion was infused throughout the evening.

The Details

Ashley and Zack were bold in their decor choices. From the tables adorned with two dimensional gold floral chargers, to the navy and gold accents in napkins and acrylic signs placed throughout the space, the couple branded their wedding with loads of personal flair.

Ashley and Zack selected elements that would enhance their guests’ experiences, even crafting some of the wedding day accessories themselves. The wooden arbor that the couple stood before to say their vows was lit and decorated with flowers, but the piece itself was hand-made by Zack’s father from locally sourced railroad ties just for the occasion. He also created the wooden mug board that greeted guests.

The reception spilled out onto the patio, where guests partied under the autumn stars, courtesy of a lovely clear tent lit from within. And finally, the couple was sent off with sparklers and cheers. It was an amazing night and we were so happy to be a part of it.

The Newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendors with you!
