As the holidays draw near, we’ve been thinking a lot about the beauty of gatherings, community, and weddings - the laughter, the warmth, and the joy of being surrounded by your favorite people. Moments like this - Deegan and Ben soaking in their first dinner together as husband and wife, surrounded by everyone who means the world to them - are what make a wedding day so incredible.

Let’s make sure every single moment of your day feels just as special as this one. ❤️

Happy anniversary, R + A! 🍾

Emma + Thomas | part one | 10.12.2024

Life throws curveballs but love finds a way, and E + T’s wedding 8 weeks ago was a testament to that. 🤎

After Hurricane Helene made their original Weaverville celebration impossible, the three of us along with their family and friends (and the incredible ) rallied to create something equally magical in just two weeks. in Atlanta, where the two live, became their new venue, and its picturesque back gate framed their vows beautifully. 🍂

Emma and Thomas poured their hearts into every detail, making the celebration so uniquely theirs. Emma baked Italian wedding cookies for guests to enjoy before and after the ceremony, there were temporary tattoos featuring their dog and the outline of the WNC mountains, and dinner at one of the couple’s favorite places, , was served family-style with course after course of delicious Spanish bites.

What made the day even more special was knowing this was just part one of the celebrations. Next year, we’ll gather at their original venue for the big celebration that we’ve dreamt up together. 🌄 But this day? It was perfect in its own way—full of intention, laughter, and love.

Meg + Justin | 9.20.2024

Some weddings just stay with you, and Meg and Justin’s day was one of those for me. 🤎 Their wedding felt like stepping into a beautiful late summer dream, with earthy, natural vibes that matched Meg’s love for all things grounded and organic. The wooded ceremony was pure magic, and the florals in shades of purple, mauve, orange, and yellow captured the essence of late summer in the most stunning way.

Meg poured so much thought and love into every detail. Her bridal party wore mismatched attire in tones she handpicked to match their personalities - a perfect reflection of how much she loves and knows her people. Her gorgeous custom Juliet-style veil by complemented her clean, modern dress and the combo felt straight out of a magazine. At the seating chart, guests swapped their es**rt cards for Polaroid photos of themselves, turning it into a living gallery by the end of the night. Add in the taco truck from for late night bites, and it was the kind of celebration that’s impossible to forget. ✨

Getting to know Meg throughout the planning process was such a gift. By the end, I wasn’t just her planner - I gained a very dear friend, and seeing her and Justin tie the knot in such a meaningful way was beyond special. Love you two and cheersing you always! 🥂

Raleigh Weddings is TWO 🍾

What started as a little dream for me has turned into something I’m so proud of and so grateful for. We’ve had the honor of planning and executing 75+ incredible wedding celebrations, have met so many wonderful industry friends who feel like family, and welcomed our first amazing full-time team member to Raleigh Weddings. Seeing this dream grow has been more fulfilling than I ever could’ve imagined. 🤍

To every couple who has trusted us, every vendor who has partnered with us, and every friend who has cheered us on - we love you, and we thank you. From the bottom of my heart, you’ve helped make these first two years unforgettable, and I couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to more love stories, more magical moments, and so much happiness ahead 🥂

Stepping into feels like a complete dream - this shoot was designed to bring all of the stunning natural elements of the venue together with a touch of fine art, and it delivered 👏🏻

With a floral-adorned fabric canvas as the ceremony focal point, a thoughtfully curated tablescape, and the amazing capturing it with her oil paints, the space became a seamless blend between art and nature. Details like the wrought iron doors, fountain, and the textured chargers brought the old-world European charm to life, while the lush florals and vegetation (give us more beets on tables ASAP) pulled in an organic and earthy warmth. 🎨🍂

What an unforgettable beginning for this incredible venue - we are so grateful to have been a part of it! Thank you to the incredible team of vendors for capturing and executing this dream and design:

The BEST day ever for Izzie and Cesar 🤍

Last month, these two special people said their vows at , and we feel so lucky to have been there to soak it all in with them. After 14 months of planning together, seeing their dream vision come to life and their joy as they were celebrated was everything we could have asked for. 🥹

Of course, can’t forget all of the special details: Cesar’s INSANE floral lapel done by the incredible , Izzie’s earrings, made from a pair of her great grandfather’s cufflinks, and the sweetest cake topper we’ve ever seen (the groom even requested their little beaks be touching… I mean come on 🥲)! Our favorite detail throughout the evening was the nod to their appreciation of literature - each dinner table was “numbered” with a book, and the guests found their personalized bookmarks to find their way to their seat 📖

Reliving this day over forever and ever, and always wishing these two joy and happiness.
