Kate + Michael | Magnolia Wedding Magic | The Carolina Inn

If there ever was a classically stunning bride, it was Kate. Every choice she made for her wedding added to the elegance of the day. Guests must have known they were in for a treat when they opened their envelopes to find a lovely magnolia inspired envelope holding their invitation. She and Michael didn't disappoint. Kate donned a beautiful lace gown that fit her just perfectly -- paired with a glittering pair of Jimmy Choos, every girl's wedding day dream. Gifted with a beautiful day full of summer sun, the couple said I do in Chapel of the Cross, a gorgeous church in the heart of Chapel Hill. As they made their exit from the chapel, the afternoon light was just perfect for what turned out to be jaw-dropping portraits captured by Nancy Ray Photography. Kate's wedding day inspiration came from her Alma Mater, Wake Forest, where the campus is dotted with magnificent magnolia trees at every turn.

How amazing is the sunshine in this photo - Kate was married with her best friends by her side in floor length navy gowns. We loved the one-shoulder detail!
