A Wedding at The Peninsula Club, Cornelius, NC. Let Nature be your Decor.

Image
There is something so romantic about a waterfront wedding ceremony. The beauty of a serene and peaceful lake is special and memorable. When planning your decor, use the scenery and the natural landscape to your decorating advantage. Take the less-is-more approach.  Let nature be your decor.  This elegant and sophisticated wedding took place at The Peninsula Club in Cornelius, just north of Charlotte, NC. The outdoor ceremony overlooked the golf course greens and water feature. After Christine and Brian exchanged vows, they took their first photos as a married couple. The lush grounds and picturesque shores of Lake Norman was the perfect backdrop. The reception was held in the Lakeside Room with panoramic views of the lake. It was an intimate celebration with family and close friends.
