Holly and Dan's wedding took place at the picturesque Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club on Valentine's Day - a perfect occasion to celebrate love and the union of two people and two families. The couple combined classic and elegant details with a traditional Jewish ceremony and a color scheme inspired by the groom's college, UNC.
The bride and groom snuck away to have an intimate moment alone at sunset.
The bride's stunning Kleinfeld's gown featured a lace illusion neckline with an abstract pattern of beaded embroidery.

Every detail exuded elegance and sophistication, from the stunning Kleinfeld's gown to the custom ivory Crane stationary with navy script.
The bride's gown stood out against the bridesmaids strapless navy lace gowns, all accented with bouquets of ivory roses and pops of soft blue hydrangea.
Their navy and white color palette included pops of Carolina blue, in honor of the groom's alma matar.
Traditional and elegant details were made even more stunning by the love emanating from the couple.
Before the ceremony, closest friends and family gathered for the signing of the ketubah, and the intimate exchange of promises brought tears to the bride's eyes.
As the sun began to set over the pristine golf course, the pair were wed in a traditional Jewish ceremony under a romantic floral-clad chuppah.
Custom Crane ceremony programs, with the same beautiful navy script as the invitations, were provided to guests during the ceremony.
A harpist played as everyone walked down the aisle, adding a sophisticated and romantic touch to the already beautiful outdoor ceremony.
Tradition and elegance were combined during the ceremony, with a ketubah displayed for all to admire under the chuppah adorned with roses and hydrangea.

Guests socialized on the outdoor veranda during the cocktail hour, and the bride and groom snuck away for a few moments alone.
