Winter (and fall!) brides take note: when looking for the perfect way to dress your maids (and yourself, of course) for cooler temps, look no further than Kilbi + her attendants’ fur wraps and woolen shawls. I love cool weather weddings and love, love love the splash of chocolate and ivory in an otherwise feminine color palette. Kilbi’s maids wore pewter bubble-hem frocks from the Jim Hjelm collection and the groomsmen stone-colored Calvin Klein suits. Did y’all catch the subtle peacock accents in the couple’s floral arrangements (courtesy of A Beautiful Event) and three-tiered square confection from Crumb de la Crumb? Seems only appropriate that Peacock Invitations designed the couple’s ceremony program! Hugs to Kellie Kano for sharing this stunning North Carolina soiree. Don’t forget to take a peek at her original blog post before you go!
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Blissful, surreal and whimsical.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: The blue Louboutins, the peacock feathers and the fabulous wine glasses we had made from FizzyArt for our wedding party
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: It was really quite simple. I had made appointments at several bridal salons in NC, so my mom and I ventured off to Nitsa’s in Winston-Salem. I tried on eight dresses and bought the second one. Mom and I cancelled all other appointments and went to lunch to celebrate.
Describe your wedding flowers: Our flowers were centered around the peacock feather and included various shades of ivory, champagne, green, blue and brown.
Describe your wedding cake: Our wedding cake was a simple three-tiered white cake with peacock feathers embossed on the cake.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Our first look; we have our fabulous photographer to thank for that! It was truly magical. Seeing each other for the first time, sharing those moments before we took our vows and knowing we were made for each other… it was truly incredible. We also had an audience watching through the windows!
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We went with the standard Presbyterian vows.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? We couldn’t be happier to journey through the rest of our lives together. We are looking forward to sharing love and laughter, having children together and raising our family, and traveling the world. Most of all, we are looking forward to enjoying every day and making memories together as husband and wife.
Thank you for sharing your wedding with us! Congratulations to you both!

Truly an amazing wedding! Every little detail stood out and made it extra special. Absolutely perfect place to get married!!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, these speak volumes. Take a mixture of Kilbi’s oh-so-fabulous shoes, every detail planned to perfection, and the special charm that only comes from a Carolina shoreline, and you end up with what a true southern wedding consists of.
