Modern Wedding Ideas for a Super Chic Affair
BRIDES
“Enhance the food and beverage experience by channeling the excitement of a pop-up dinner for a modern, discerning foodie crowd,” says Chelsey Jean Morrison, owner and principal designer/planner at Gather Together Events. “Plan for perfectly paired passed bites and sips at cocktail hour, curated wine pairings, or seasonal/locally sourced foods." Enhance the look of your presentation by creating a fuss-free tray organized by quality treats and hors d'oeuvres.”
Caroline & Jared
Southern Bride & Groom
“Home is where the heart is. For Caroline and Jared, the Hines Family Farm in Selma NC is where their love story has unfolded. And how could you blame them, when it is such a serene and lovely setting? Jared even proposed to Caroline during an evening walk the property. So when they began planning their wedding, the natural choice for a setting easily turned out to be at home. With the help of wedding planner Chelsey Morrison of Gather Together, they planned a very personal outdoor fall wedding followed by a joyful tented reception. This NC farm wedding was Southern-rustic with added glam.”
Fall-Inspired Wedding Ideas the Pros Swear By

“Just as fall leaves, pine cones, and branches layer the forest floor, layer your tablescape with coordinating points of interest from the place setting to the centerpieces for a beautiful overall table design. Remember your centerpieces, runners, china, flatware, and glassware. Here, we chose a natural greenery runner with wood pillar candle holders, colored glassware, dark rattan chargers, and the most welcoming apple to bring together the entire look.” – Chelsey Morrison, Owner, Gather Together

Breathtaking Tents for Your Outdoor Wedding
BRIDES
“Chelsey Morrison, owner of Gather Together Events, favors clear top tents to tie in elements of the outdoors. “When you have a beautiful setting, there is no better way to feel connected to the landscape while still protecting your guests from the elements,” she says. One of her most favored benefits of translucent structures? The silhouettes created from surrounding trees and landscapes that can be seen at dusk.”

“Choose a ceremony site with intention. The front porch or tree grove where the two of you first held hands, shared a kiss, or said ‘I love you’ can become the most meaningful location for your ceremony.”
