Newlyweds Piper and Carl are lost in each other’s eyes as they share in the wedding day bliss.
Piper’s pretty blue wedding shoes really popped underneath her beautiful gown.

We just had to share the couple’s modern invitation style. #lovely
After hunkering down with her Crock-pot and her honey all winter long, Piper wasn’t pleased to go dress hunting in January. Luckily, she found this fabulous Palazzo gown just the same.
Piper’s bridesmaids and close family members work together to help Piper perfect every detail in preparation for her walk down the aisle to meet Carl.
A lovely way to display wedding rings. They look too cute to touch.
The night they met, Piper noticed Carl before he’d even met her because she was instantly distracted by his boyish grin and strikingly good looks.
Piper and Carl earn an A+ in shoe chic.
The couple’s bridal party looks stunning in this slate grey color palette which compliments their style perfectly.
When a friend suggested Piper and Carl have their wedding at The Green Building in Brooklyn, they fell instantly in love with the space. “We immediately knew we had found the right place,” says Piper. “Not just because of their lenient hours but because of the architecture and vibe of the space.”
“I had both of my parents walk me down the aisle,” says Piper. “I’m their only daughter so this was both a first and a last moment for them.”
“As we spent more time together and as we got to know each other well it became clear that being with Carl made everything in my life better.”
The brand new Mr. and Mrs. head back down the aisle, greeting guests, and flashing giant matching smiles.
Long before Piper met Carl she bought a ring with the phrase “Amour, Amour, Amour” engraved all over it. She thought it might bring her luck in love and she was right. She would eventually wear it the night she met Carl.
The lovers can’t resist stealing a kiss between photos.
Piper’s friends mean everything to her and she warned Carl that meeting them would be worse than meeting the family. When she got around to introducing the gang to Carl, they loved him as much as she does.

Then again with the guys!
When Piper met Carl he was a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo and she says there’s “nothing like a Taekwondo butt.”
Piper and Carl’s guests sip wine and dine beneath lovely chandeliers in this breathtaking reception space.
Guests were seated at these lovely green, white, and black reception tables with beautiful florals and fine china. Each table was named after special places/memories the couple shared.
“Our first dance began with 15 seconds of ‘At Last, then we gave the DH a signal to mix it and he switched it up and spun ’it Takes Two’ by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock and we did a choreographed dance to it,” Piper shares.
Piper and Carl happily sway to the music as they steal another moment on the dance floor.
When it comes to cute and unique style, Piper and Carl’s wedding dessert really “takes the cake”.
Piper and Carl cut into their lovely wedding cake. This is what we call less, equals more. Who needs four tiers when your cake toppers are this cute?

Now this is what we call picture perfect black love…aww!
Happy bride Piper helps to get the party started right.
“Our good friend’s Desmond’s toast involved about ten of our friends standing up and reciting the lyrics to ‘Poison’, our favorite love song,” Piper shares, when asked about her favorite wedding memories.
The good vibes are contagious on the dance floor as guests groove to the music and the deejay spins the couple’s favorites.
Piper and Carl really know how to party. The couple hired a hot DJ for the wedding reception and their after party. Guests they couldn’t invite to the wedding came to the after party which ended at 3am.
As a special treat for guests, Piper and Carl hired a Korean Taco truck to pull up at the end of the night and serve their guests yummy late night snacks.
Even the rain outside was no match for Carl and Piper’s happiness on their wedding day.
