A Classic Wedding at The Ruth in Charlotte | Shannon & Andrew
Shannon and Andrew celebrated their November wedding at The Ruth in Charlotte with a day that felt polished, personal and full of personality. Soft blue accents, white florals, warm wood tones and candlelight created an inviting setting, while the people surrounding the couple brought the celebration to life.
Planned by The White Rose Co., the day balanced thoughtful design with plenty of room for laughter, connection and a very lively dance floor.
A Classic Bridal Look
Shannon chose a clean, structured gown with a full skirt and sculpted neckline. The simplicity of the silhouette made a statement against the warm architectural details inside The Ruth.
Her bouquet continued the soft palette with white roses, delicate white blooms, eucalyptus and touches of blue. A personalized bridal hanger finished with a white bow was one of the smaller details captured before the celebration began.
Soft Blue Details at The Ruth
Inside The Ruth, Shannon and Andrew embraced a palette of white, dusty blue, greenery and natural wood. Blue patterned napkins and glassware brought color to the reception tables, while white floral arrangements and candlelight kept the overall design light and refined.
Curated Events Charlotte helped complete the reception setting with decor and rentals that complemented the character of the venue. One of the standout spaces was the couple’s sweetheart table, framed by The Ruth’s dramatic greenery wall and grounded with abundant white and blue florals.
A Celebration Centered on Their People
While the design created a beautiful setting, The White Rose Co shared that the people were what made the wedding especially memorable.
The planner recalled an atmosphere filled with “laughter, happy tears” and genuine connection throughout the day. Personal touches reflected Shannon and Andrew’s playful side too, including their “beer bros” making their way down the aisle and the youngest member of the wedding party taking his role as ring security very seriously.
Those moments gave the celebration a personality entirely its own.
From First Dance to Full Dance Floor
As the reception began, Shannon and Andrew shared a first dance surrounded by friends and family before the energy quickly picked up.
According to The White Rose Co., the evening eventually turned into a glow stick filled party that took over the DJ booth, with guests singing and dancing together late into the celebration.
It was a fitting ending to a wedding that paired beautiful details with the kind of energy that can only come from having all of your favorite people in one room.
