Fifty seriously never looked so good 😍
Two years in the making for Reisa’s 50th birthday celebration at . We needed it to be magical, as this AMAZING woman deserves no less. Chic and extravagant, with entertainment and surprises at every turn. And man was it ever!
Thank you to the birthday girl for trusting us to take your vision and run with it. You are an absolute dream to work with!
And thank you to the most amazing vendor team for patiently putting up with me 😂, and for flawlessly making our vision come to life. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you!

We were beyond thrilled to be a part of planning + designing the unveiling of Queensbridge Collection earlier this week. We have been so excited about this project, and the STUNNING 3-tower development will be absolutely transformative for South End - and Charlotte in general.
The unveiling not only revealed the name and renderings of the development, but also their fabulous branding. From the embroidered pillows to the bar decals, we made sure to incorporate pops of their branding at every turn!
Inspired by the gorgeous sunset hues of the Charlotte skyline, our color palette consisted of soft grays and shades of blue - with pops of marigold yellow and mango orange. For a sophisticated and modern vibe, we incorporated this energetic and vibrant feel into every element in the space.
We are so proud of where Charlotte is, and where we’re headed! Thank you to CBRE and Riverside for giving us creative freedom, and for trusting us to take on this project. And special thanks to our amazing industry partners who helped us pull this together in such a short time frame.
We are so excited for the future of our city!

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!!! I am so ready for sunshine ☀️, longer days, warmer evenings, chirping birds, refreshing cocktails 🍹, baseball and fresh, colorful flowers.
⠀
Enter Catherine & Kenan's wedding last Spring, where their only requests were that it be:
⠀
1. Modern yet romantic
2. Fun & bright - they were not afraid of color!
3. And that it incorporate their monogram, designed by the groom
⠀
And they trusted us to take it from there. Their design incorporated a bold and colorful palette of "all shades of berry", grounded by neutral soft greys and shades of white. We even selected the color of their bridesmaids' dresses without the bride even seeing the color swatch, which was a first for us and a tad scary (not gonna lie). But it all came together so beautifully and it only took us almost a year to share a few of their design highlights. Enjoy!

Last summer, we were honored to design & plan this amazing company's team outing. That morning we had to make the call to implement our backup rain plan for dinner. It was supposed to take place underneath the Wisteria Pergola, but we'd say that our Plan B wasn't too shabby!

Thank you to for trusting us implicitly to plan this destination event for you. We hope you come visit again soon!

I normally don't make New Year's resolutions but this year, I resolved to share more of our events on social media. Clearly I already failed 🙈. But with our first wedding of the year coming up next weekend, I am DETERMINED to share some of our 2019 events before we hit the ground running in 2020!
Kicking it off with this 20's-themed wedding reception/costume party, where we transformed our lovely couple's basement into a dim & masculine speakeasy and then surprised their guests with a more glam, Gatsby-inspired feel in their backyard. SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Here are some photos showcasing how in character everyone was. Tap the photo for our entire dream team who helped bring this 20's vision to life!

The bride and I are both from MD. Both our men are named Brad. And we both went to Hawaii on our honeymoons. We were clearly destined to work together!
We can't wait to show you more from Hillary & Brad's gorgeous 9.28.19 wedding. For now, here is a sneak peek from the couple who does not like to get their picture taken 😅

We have designed & planned many events for these repeat clients and their families over the years. Their trust in us is truly invaluable. Check out our stories for some snippets of this recent bridal shower we designed in their gorgeous backyard in just three weeks. We were thrilled with how it all came together!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here 🖐. We have been busier than ever and are finally taking the time to start sharing what we have been up to lately, starting with this recent event we designed at . Photo by .
And coming up in Fall 2019, we can't wait to share the results of the 6 beautiful weddings we have been so busy planning + designing, plus one stunning, tented bridal shower. And Halloween weekend, be sure to check out our stories to see the day unfold as we transform a private residence into a 20's-themed Speakeasy. And oh so much more in 2020. Stay tuned!
I know it has been radio silent for us on social media lately but it is because we have been super busy planning & designing lots of beautiful events for 2019 and now into Spring and even Fall of 2020! It was time to expand our team and we are so excited to finally introduce you to our newest lead planner, Baye!!!!
Hey everyone! My name is Baye and I am from the island of Key Largo in the beautiful Florida Keys. After high school, I attended Louisiana State University (Geaux Tigers) where I was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and received a Bachelor’s degree in English Culture and Rhetoric. During my time at school, I took every opportunity I could to travel to different countries. I love trying new things and stepping outside of my comfort zone, which is what brought me to Charlotte! I have been in the Event Planning industry for the past 2 years and still love it as much as I did on day one. I can’t wait to start my next adventure in Charlotte and am so excited to be working with such a wonderful company and team at Kelly and Co. Events!
We love that our clients give us such creative freedom when designing their space. More often than not, we move away from tradition and design the guest seating by mixing different table sizes and shapes. And sometimes even different tables all together. As long as we maintain a functional & cohesive design, we found that a good mix adds so much more dimension, texture and visual interest!

Technically it's still Fall, right? We just couldn't transition into Winter without sharing some images of our recent Fall-inspired rehearsal dinner/welcome party.

With the recent blast of cold weather and the holidays rapidly approaching, we are reminded how much we love Winter weddings! And we particularly loved designing Margey & Ivan's intimate, vintage-glam wedding at . Winter is not officially here, but we are more than ready for it, and so excited to see what the New Year brings for . Speaking of which, an exciting new announcement will be coming soon...

Studio 54 - the glam and exclusive 70's nightclub that was so over-the-top that it came to symbolize an entire era. What I wouldn't have given to have been a fly on the wall there, at least for one night! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when 2 of our favorite clients, best friends, Christy & Laurie, asked us to plan + design Christy's 40th, we were beyond excited. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We incorporated lots of crystals and mirrored decor but grounded them with luxurious velvet fabrics for texture and contrast. A glam lounge area, foil hologram invitations, pulsing 70's music, over the top lighting, 70's theme food and a lavish, 4-tier cake, illuminated with black lights (so cool), were some other fun design elements. Oh, and 2 amazing shadow box disco dancers who later joined and danced with the guests. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are just a few teasers for now. Tap the photos for our amazing team of vendors and check our stories for more pictures, especially of the cake, which I couldn't even fit into this frame. Enjoy!

🎶'Tis the season...for out-of-state couples 👰🤵.
Wow! We have 4 new couples residing in San Francisco, Indianapolis, Washington DC and deep in the mountains of Colorado. We are beyond excited to help them plan + design their weddings. Let the venue search begin!
Mary Poppins Returns is coming to theaters this December! I just ❤ that movie so a while back when we were asked to plan a baby shower for a nanny who loves Disney movies, the theme was a no brainer!
And so excited to be working with many of these same amazing vendors this weekend. Follow along this Friday as we share stories on our Studio 54-themed 40th birthday party and a beautiful rehearsal dinner and after party. We can't wait!!!

It is slowly beginning to feel like Fall 🍁 - at least in the mornings anyway! We had so much fun planning + designing this surprise party last Fall. Outdoor events under clear top tents around this time of year are always a favorite for us!

How beautiful is this image of one of our couples, and John Thomas? While on vacation, they had their engagement pictures taken high above the Atlantic Ocean on these sea cliffs along the coast of Ireland. So stunning 😍. We are so excited for their Winter wedding this year at !

We just ❤ tent weddings. For this gorgeous lakefront wedding, we had not one, but two two separate tents. One for the ceremony (which we flipped and used for the dancing portion later in the night) and one for dinner. It came together so beautifully but how could it not with a backdrop like this?

A plain, concrete wall never looked so good 😍. We just loved working with this real-life couple on our styled shoot at .

First looks are not just for the bride and groom! Love this image of the first look between our bride and her maids. Such a special moment ❤

More and more of our couples are choosing to have a sweetheart table, where they can sit back, take in the view of their loved ones and if they're lucky, maybe even steal a few private moments together. Photographers will surely capture these intimate moments so we love to make sure their tables accentuate the overall style and feel of the wedding.
We were so happy with how Erica & Chris's sweetheart table came together to beautifully reflect their modern, desert garden theme. And it didn't hurt that the backdrop was a trio of gorgeous cakes, featuring their watercolor and dusty blue + gold color palette!

Let’s Party!!! 🎉 Regardless of the occasion, Kelly & Co. will help make it a memorable one! Take this one for example. This cake was created for a surprise birthday party we planned. That’s right... a three tiered, blush pink cake, dripping with pearls and jeweled broaches - all edible, of course! Whether it’s a small event or a large one, we work with some of the best vendors to execute every detail.

On a personal note, scrolling back to see what photos we haven’t shared with you yet, we realized at this event that we started the hashtag and WOW, how far we have come! From birthdays to baby showers to corporate parties and more, Kelly & Co. Events has really evolved into the brand it is today. Definitely .

Today, we dive even deeper with an interview of our owner on the amazing transformation we went through!
Check out our latest blog post for all the juicy details! (Link in bio)
Did you happen to catch our story yesterday? If you didn’t, we will fill you in. One of our couple’s, Erica & Chris, has been featured in for their modern desert garden-themed wedding!
This wedding was such a pleasure to plan because...
1. The bride knew exactly what she wanted and all we needed to do is make sure it was a cohesive design, the vendors were amazing, and that the day went according to plan.
2. Erica and Chris had a unique taste in decor and music which we LOVED!
And 3. Because the couple, their friends and family were so sweet and loving- the entire day was filled with warmth and support!
We wanted to post this picture to give you a tiny taste of what this garden style wedding had to offer, but make sure you stay tuned to our blog post next week covering the entire wedding and all it’s gorgeous details!
