Christina Mathews – Owner | Consultant

Thank you for stopping by. I am the petite (big) heart and soul behind A Beautiful Day by Christina. Although born in New England, I have a Southern Soul and have joyfully made NC my home for the past ten years. I have been so incredibly blessed to have worked with some of the sweetest people – my couples. I am so honored to have been entrusted with managing and coordinating the most important day of a couple’s lives. To me, it’s much more than planning a great party. Our job entails many roles. We act as your event manager, designer, coordinator and creative director. In addition, we are your sounding board throughout your entire event planning journey. I want to get to know my clients on a personal level and am honored to have been a part of so many amazing weddings.

In my free time I love spending time with my husband, Stephen. He is my best friend and constant source of encouragement. I truly could not be in this business without his love and support. We love to browse antique and consignments shoppes, go wine tasting and taking trips to the mountains. I also love to cross stitch.

My favorite part of the wedding day is definitely that moment right before the couple walks down the aisle when their eyes meet, and you feel the surge of emotion and excitement with them. I still cry during the first dances, and I hope I never stop feeling that emotion.

“It’s amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and you cannot remember how you ever lived without them.”

My love for planning weddings began with planning my own wedding with the love of my life, Devin, in 2014. Planning my own wedding was so much fun but being my own planner had its down sides as I was also the one doing final walkthroughs of the reception area and tucking things away 15 minutes before the ceremony. That is part of what inspired me to continue to work in wedding planning. Sorting out the details and infusing them with special touches so that you can relax and enjoy your special day brings me so much joy. I’ve seen personally how having a wedding planner changes the entire feel of the day. Over the years my involvement with weddings has grown to include not only planning but also floral design. I love partnering with couples to personalize their wedding day to make it their own unique celebration.

A little about me, Devin and I met as seniors in college and married a year after graduating. Our adventures have brought us to Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland but we’ve been calling North Carolina home for the last 6 years. My background is in clinical social work. I made the transition out of the field when we welcomed our third little one into our family. I now homeschool our kids and run a small-scale flower farm in Clemmons.

My favorite part of a wedding is when the new couple shares a private moment after the ceremony before the reception starts to take in the day. To soak in not only all the planning, they put into the day finally coming to life but also the love they share that has started them on an incredible new adventure together.

For as long as I can recall from my earliest childhood days, I have been entranced and captivated by weddings and the love they represent. I have an extensive experience with decorating, designing, planning, coordinating and have been a DJ and Master of Ceremonies. I have worked in nearly every facet of weddings from beginning to end. To say weddings are “my thing” would be an understatement. I’ve always loved being a part of making someone’s special day the best it can possibly be.

On a personal note, I’m originally from Wisconsin but moved to NC in 2022 when I married my husband and best friend of five years, Alex. I love the adventures we share together with our little Jack Russell/Italian Greyhound mix puppy, Bosco. I love the mountains here, watching The Office with my husband and solving puzzles and the NY Times Crossword.

My favorite part of the wedding is undoubtedly seeing all the little details come together, that may seem random to anyone else but are very specific and important to each couple. Things that make you think “That’s so them!” I’ve always felt privileged to be a witness to this.

I have loved wedding celebrations since I was young. I still remember the excitement and joy I felt being the flower girl in my older cousin’s wedding when I was barely five years old. The atmosphere of love and celebration is a feeling you won’t find anywhere else! Back then, I didn’t realize how much planning and attention to detail, is required to execute the perfect day. Through planning my own wedding and being involved in friends’ weddings as an adult, working with Anna of at A Beautiful Day by Christina, I’ve come to realize how much truly goes into it. I have grown a love and passion for helping brides relax and enjoy their special day, from the moment they arrive until they drive away with their new spouse!

A Little About Me – I grew up in a small town called Waxhaw, then moved to Winston Salem for college. It was there that I met my husband, Chris, of almost ten years! We have three beautiful kids and two dogs. We attend Grace Bible Church, where my husband is the director of counseling.

My favorite part of the wedding day is standing with the bride as she waits to walk down the aisle. The nervousness, excitement, happiness, and anticipation all mixed together is such a unique feeling. I love talking with the bride and helping to ease her nerves as she enters one of the most important moments of her life.

I am so excited to work with you, and to help make your wedding day the best day ever!”

I love to help create events of any kind, but I must say, weddings are my favorite. Events I have coordinated/planned include baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, gender reveal parties, weddings and many church events over the past ten years. When my eldest daughter married, I got the most enjoyment out of helping her create the wedding of her dreams. Her wedding inspired me to move forward with a dream of my own – helping other couples make the vision of their perfect day a reality. Each wedding is different and unique. I will work with couples on every detail so that it reflects the day they have envisioned. I am very passionate about planning, organizing, and achieving truly beautiful day.

On a personal note, I have been married to my husband, Greg for 25 years and have two beautiful daughters, two sons-in-law, and a granddaughter. We attend Cleveland First Baptist in Cleveland, NC where I am the music leader/coordinator, lead a young adult’s group and serve on various committees.

My favorite part of the wedding is watching the newly married bride and groom walking back up the aisle, with bright smiles on their faces.

I look forward to working with you to make your day – truly a Beautiful Day!
