Charis + Kyle | Real Photo SD

Another gorgeous November day at our Castle busy prepping for Kyle and Charis’ dream DYI wedding!

Kyle got ready with his groomsmen in our Groom’s Room and looked like he fell out of a GQ magazine.

So sharp in that classic dark gray suit!

His Groomsmen all wore crisp black tuxes with bowties to maintain that classic polished look.

As a gift to his Groomsmen, Kyle worked with a shop on Etsy to create custom Baseball Bat Mugs!

Just down the hall in the Bridal Suite, Charis’ barely contained excitement was an infectious delight that carried throughout the Castle!

We live for the little details on wedding gowns, and the iridescent foliage embroidery on Charis’ train is exquisite.

This Bride Tribe went with a soft gray to keep with the classic motif, but changing the styles to fit each person best is a great way to spice it up!

The First Look!

Real Photo SD did such an incredible job capturing every second of this must-have moment.

The happy couple met beneath the shade of our Great Oaks to share their vows and become Husband and Wife.

The Big Kiss!

The “I Do” Glow!

It’s hard not to smile along with such an excited set of newlyweds!

Our Lower Lawn Reception Area was ready for the festivities to begin!

We love how it looks when all three tiers full of tables for the ultimate “royal treatment” of the Bride and Groom.

 Personal Touch Dining helped us set each table to perfection.

The beautiful centerpieces, including the lanterns and floral arrangements, were all made by the family!

After cocktail hour and private sunset pictures, the lovebirds made their Grand Entrance back to the party and had their First Dance as Husband and Wife.

A hearty dinner followed by an extensive donut selection, by Personal Touch Dining, was all fresh and made on-site.

The custom-built donut display was made by the family as well, showing an endless amount of DIY talent!

Donuts are a perfect dessert option for weddings!

They’re great for on-the-go when your favorite song comes on, and a crowd-pleaser no matter the age.

Even with heat lamps, complimentary blankets from the lovebirds are thoughtful favors for those chilly November nights.

Congrats to these newlyweds!

Their excitement and joy spread to every part of our Castle, and we’re so honored to have been part of their special day!

Thanks to all the fabulous vendors who helped us make this day so special!

Extra thanks to Personal Touch Dining for all their hard work on our special events Catering, Event Coordinating, and Venue Managing!
