Angus Barn Pavilions Wedding
June 30

This morning it felt a bit like fall in the air, a welcome break from the heat. So today is the perfect day to post the wedding of Amy and Shawn! They were married at the gorgeous Angus Barn Pavilions this past October.

Thank you to Heather Swanner Photography for these great images!

Tre Bella did a gorgeous job on the flowers!

It was the most gorgeous fall day!

Amy was a ballroom dancer. She was so elegant, I was jealous with my two left feet! It was some of the best dancing I have ever seen at a wedding. So entertaining!

Congratulations to a fantastic couple!!

xoxo, Erin

Pinehurst Wedding
June 15

Lauren and Bill’s country club wedding in Pinehurst had timeless elegance from the ceremony vows to the bride and groom’s reception departure. Here’s a look into the details of the day with photography courtesy of Rachel of Millie Holloman Photgraphy.

Many couples choose to exchange cards or letters to one another prior to the ceremony. This wedding tradition is a great way for you and your groom to focus on your relationship and love for one another- the whole reason this glamorous event is happening!

One very popular wedding trend we have been seeing is very pale bridesmaids dresses, such as the delicate pink bridesmaids dresses Lauren chose. We love that these dresses have slightly different straps, giving each bridesmaid a custom look.

Maggie’s Farm Florist created the elegant bouquets for this perfectly charming southern wedding day.

The couple chose to surprise their out of town guests with a North Carolina themed gift basket when they arrived. Stuffed with North Carolina favorites like Cheerwine and NC roasted peanuts, this gracious gesture was a perfect thoughtful touch.

Charming and classic, The Pinehurst Village Chapel was the perfect wedding ceremony venue for this couple.

Pomanders, a floral arrangement attached to a loop of ribbon, are an appropriate option for flower girls and junior bridesmaids. Pomanders are both easy to hold and posses an elegant look. These were provided by Maggie’s Farm who created all the florals for Lauren and Bill’s wedding day.

The Country Club of North Carolina reception venue provided an elegant backdrop for an evening of delicious dinner and non-stop dancing.

Raleigh based rental company, CE Rentals, provided the reception venue rentals.
Mason Jars are a popular summertime wedding trend throughout the south. What’s more simply southern than sipping pink lemonade out of a vintage looking mason jar?
