I’m such a Southern girl at heart, so I love seeing beautiful weddings from the south, with classic Southern brides! Lauren and Jon’s chic wedding at Cary’s Umstead Hotel & Spa is definitely a favorite. Each detail is sophisticated and stylish, from her Vera Wang gown with pearl earrings and brooch to the beautiful four-tier white cake! As always, Hilton Pittman captured absolutely beautiful images to tell the story of the day.


The bridesmaids are perfectly outfitted in J Crew dresses and flats. Their multicolored bouquets add a beautiful spark of color.









The ceremony took place on the lakeside lawn under the garden terrace at the Umstead.



A beautiful reception followed in the Umstead’s Grand Ballroom, to the tunes of The Swingin’ Medallions.

Beautiful. Love those bridesmaid bouquets against those JCrew gowns.
This wedding is stunning! I love every detail. Very nice post~
Really excellent wedding from start to finish, planning and photography. You captured every important aspect of the wedding with design and made sure you had a photographer there that could capture the entire event in an excellent light. Superb work.
