CONGRATULATIONS TO BRANDON AND TAYLOR ON THEIR WEDDING

MOORESVILLE, NC – May 30, 2012 – Taylor Nicole Earnhardt, daughter of Teresa Earnhardt and 7-time NASCAR Champion Dale Earnhardt was married Saturday evening of the Memorial Day Weekend to Mr. Brandon Samuel Putnam in Mooresville, North Carolina.

The southern elegance inspired wedding was designed with celebrity event planner David Tutera and took place at the Earnhardts’ private estate. The couple exchanged their vows in a romantic outdoor evening ceremony, nestled lakeside with stained glass panels suspended from surrounding trees.

The bride arrived at the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage that was owned by her father. Taylor wore a customized lace wedding gown by Rivini and walked down the aisle to “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. After saying their “I Do’s,” the couple rode to their reception in a vintage 1946 cherry red pickup truck that was also from Dale Earnhardt’s Classic Car Collection.

Taylor and Brandon’s guests were escorted by horse and carriage to the reception space on the estate, where they celebrated under a one of a kind open air pavilion.

Guests were treated to hand-rolled cigars, a fine whiskey tasting bar and a bespoke perfume bar, along with entertainment by country artist Jared Ashley.

The custom pavilion where the reception was held is now being made available to the public for other special events. The unique space has a rustic, southern elegant feel, with antiqued stained glass panels commissioned by local artists, vaulted ceilings, custom woodwork and is filled crystal chandeliers. The newly constructed space opens up to a back terrace overlooking the lake and is the only open air structure of its kind that includes heated flooring, so guests can dance the night away no matter the weather.
