A Glamorous, Vintage Wedding at the Umstead Hotel in Cary, North Carolina

Camille Gipson (35 and a communications manager) and Bryan Bagwell (31 and a college athletics coach) gleaned wedding inspiration from the aesthetics of classic movies, which they both love. That sense of Old Hollywood glamour informed the day's decor, especially the pair's reception, which took place at the Umstead Hotel. The couple decided on the indoor-outdoor hotel venue to make traveling easy on guests, many of whom were coming from out of town. “We didn’t want them to have to travel to join the celebration,” Camille says. Camille’s favorite color, a rich, plum purple, added a glamorous flair to the bridesmaid dresses, the sequined linens and the sparkly details on the invitation suite. For Camille and Bryan, the most important part of the day was taking communion together for the first time, so the couple honored the special moment with a white communion bench on their altar.
