The Story Behind Charlotte’s Wed

Welcome to Charlotte’s Wed! My name is Kristina Duemmler. I am 21 years old and am an English major at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I got married this past summer to my best friend and life partner, Lukas. He is sporty, quirky and everything I love about this life.

Here is a snapshot from our engagement photos! (Stay tuned for a post about engagement photo dos and don’ts)

My wedding day was a blast, and planning my wedding was even more fun! Often times I find that most brides get overwhelmed or stressed out while planning their wedding. I was the opposite. My afternoon planning sessions were my favorite part of the day. I would look forward to the hours hunched over a computer screen trying to find the best venue. I loved listening to different DJs trying to pick the one that matched my style the best. The moments where I got to dream and plan my wedding were the moments that I felt most creative and intune with my own personality.

Once my wedding day finally arrived and passed, I found myself still scanning through bridal magazines. I still follow all of my favorite wedding bloggers (Something Perfect and Love and Lavender are my inspiration). And I still, to this day, look at flowers and imagine how I would arrange them into a bouquet. While I was so so so happy to finally be married, I missed the planning. That is why I started this blog.

I realized that there were brides out there that were feeling crushed by the pressure of planning a wedding. At the same time, I realized that I still had so much energy and passion for wedding planning. I began to dream of a way to help engaged women, to turn their ideas into a wedding that would reflect who they truly are. And that is what I plan to do.

At Charlotte’s Wed, I plan to help any Charlotte woman who is planning their wedding. I want to give you advice, steer you towards some of my favorite venders and give you tips and tricks to make your wedding day the best it can be. I also want to hear from you. If you have questions, or concerns, please comment. The only way I can truly help you, is if I know what you need help with. I want you to enjoy the planning process just as much as you will enjoy your wedding day. I hope you can use this blog to make planning fun!

Just for fun, here are some of my wedding day highlights! (Look out for a post all about my perfect wedding day!)
