The stars may have aligned when Sarah and Colin met at a popcorn stand in a Charlotte, North Carolina, bar. But it was actually the sun, moon, and earth aligning that saw them to the next step....
North Carolina residents Caleb Smith and Courtney Sweetser pulled in nearly 10,000 votes to win a magical $50,000 winter wedding at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens this year. We loved partnering on the giveaway and invite you to this peek of their stunning day. Cindy Zingerella of Engaging Events crafted an open-air celebration that married rustic and elegant elements together in seamless fashion for the outdoor-loving duo. Our favorite touch? She tucked turkey feathers (from one of their hunting escapades) into bouquets and boutonnieres. The Smiths found out about the contest via our cover; think you might be the next lucky winner?
