Top 3 tips for future brides:

The Best Thing about the day:
I loved incorporating our culture and tradition with special touches here and there. br>
What went wrong?
Trying to follow tradition exactly how our grandparents would have wanted us to. We did not have the knowledge or experience and had to take things as they came.
The Location:
The Levine Museum of the New South. We wanted something new and different. We fell in love with the open space and décor. It was in uptown Charlotte and that allowed us to be part of the town we grew up in.
The Planning:
I did most of the planning on my own. I love to plan events so this allowed me to do that. I enjoyed very minute of it. I had about a year to plan and asked input here and there especially from my parents guiding me with the ways of tradition.
