Bridal Guide

High school sweethearts Cassie and Zane Frye kept a personal approach to their wedding — every decision reflected the couple’s friends, families, and their own personalities. Cassie’s dad made their wedding cake that had layers of funfetti — a cake flavor Cassie and Zane made for every birthday during college. The floral arrangements were done by Cassie’s mom, and Cassie’s honorary bridesmaid MC’d the wedding reception. The couple made playlists in advance of music they definitely knew they wanted to dance to, serving as their own personal DJ for the night. Almost every detail of the wedding was hand-done by the couple or their friends, truly allowing them to call their wedding day their own day.

After moving to North Carolina from Virginia for her fiancé, local business owner Katie Gaudreault wanted to keep the details of their wedding personal to the couple. Katie’s ring was designed by her husband, and the bride opted to wear her favorite cowboy boots to their Pinehurst Fair Barn nuptials instead of high heels. Keeping with the personal touch, wedding guests were given jars filled with Katie’s homemade recipes, courtesy of the bride’s company, the Goodie Jar, as wedding favors.

For two people who met while attending their master’s program at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, it was only natural that Sydney and Byron Bryan drew inspiration for their wedding from their alma mater, hosting a classic and romantic wedding with UNC details throughout. These details perfectly went along with the wedding’s theme — “Tarheel Bred, Pinehurst Wed.” For their exit, the couple walked out to friends and family holding Carolina blue and white pom poms rather than sparklers. The wedding band played the UNC fight song as a surprise to the groom and guests as the couple exited the wedding. The wedding was the perfect combination of playing tribute to Sydney’s hometown and the place where the couple fell in love.
