🏰 Rainee Kite & Ro Romero
11/14/2019 🏰

Rainee and Ro decided on a wedding theme inspired by their venue—the intimate Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, North Carolina. The couple thought modern touches would detract from what they loved about the castle, so they decided to have a medieval big day, from the decor to the entertainment to the food selections. The colors for the day were burgundy and gold. The florals had a fresh, field-picked look with lots of greenery and berries with miniature roses and small amounts of baby’s breath. There “princesses,” the couple’s daughters, were called forth for a unity candle lighting ceremony, a special moment that blended the families as one. Photo by Brooke Christl Photography.
