[Originally at An Umstead Wedding for Cecile and Eddie by Randy Bennet]
Cecile and Eddie chose Cary’s Umstead Hotelto welcome their 50 guests from all over the world on August 25th.
The ceremony was held on the back lawn overlooking the pond and officiated by their friend from South Africa, Pastor William. After the ceremony, the guests made their way to the back patio for mocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres. The Umstead covered the music.
After pics were taken by Rob and Amy Allen Photography, the doors to the small ballroom opened and guests found their seats with help from planner Elizabeth from A Southern Soiree. The room looked beautiful with my uplights and floral arrangements by Preston Flowers Cary. I left music playing and went to line the wedding party up for introductions. I introduce the Groomsmen to “Ice Ice Baby” and Bridesmaids to “Man, I Feel Like A Woman”. The Ladies were having a blast dancing to it, so I let it roll for a minute or so. They took their seats and I introduced Cecile and Eddie to “Marry You” by Bruno Mars. They welcomed everyone and Pastor William blessed the 3-course meal. The soup, salads and entrees came out and I played a mix of country & 80’s soft rock during dinner.

Sounds like this couple truly had a night that reflected how much hard work they put into planning it. Planning can be stressful at times but it always pays off once the wedding kicks off.
