When plan “B” becomes plan “AHHHHHHmazing”. Get your tissues y’all!! My very own little brother’s wedding at The Pavilion at Carriage Farm is on the blog and we are a big puddle of tears over here, reliving their magical weekend at this local Raleigh wedding venue.
With Hurricane Florence making her own party plans and causing chaos at every turn, these two reminded us that your wedding is soooooo much more than a Pinterest board.
We started the celebration for this sweet couple well before planning their wedding at this local Raleigh wedding venue, The Pavilion at Carriage Farm.
The couple got engaged in one our favorite cities… Boone! First Bryan popped the question in front of a beautiful mountain backdrop. Then, we celebrated with 50 of their closest friends and started planning the details of their day immediately. It wasn’t long until they had selected most of their wedding day details and things were falling into place beautifully.
Brittany picked out gorgeous shades of blush, champagne, burgundy and cinnamon to complement the warm rustic nature of their Raleigh wedding venue.
The couple knew they wanted to get married on a farm, with a beautiful barn as a backdrop. With this in mind, we knew The Pavilion at Carriage Farm was the perfect wedding venue for them! Dressed in a stunning lace Leanne Marshall gown and adorned with flowers in her hair, Brittany was a vision. She selected individual bridesmaids dresses for each of her girls, mixing shades of blush as well as burgundy with a dash of sparkle. This wedding day was a bit different from others. As sister of the groom, I had the pleasure of not only playing wedding planner but also standing alongside this amazing lady as she officially became a Maass!! I couldn’t be more proud to stand beside her on this special day… welcome to the family sister!
The couple said their vows to the sound of the rain on the barn roof, surrounded by some of their closest loved ones. We knew the weather would force our ceremony inside well in advance. With this in mind, we leaned into mother nature and worked with our friends at Belvedere Floral to create one of the most dreamy backdrops we have ever seen. Guest tables were topped with lush greenery and wild dahlias were placed alongside flickering candlelight.
The natural wood cabin feel of this local Raleigh wedding venue, The Pavilion at Carriage Farm, played the perfect tribute to the couples love, found in the North Carolina Mountains.
Our sweet planner Janel took over the details of the day as lead coordinator. She made sure everything went off beautifully without a hitch…even in a literal hurricane. This lady is a rockstar!!
We also want to send a virtual hug to all the incredible vendors who showed up and went over and above on this crazy weekend. From our friends who run the delivery trucks, to our incredible caterers at Unforgettable Food Affairs who don’t let anything stop them, to the on site venue team at The Pavilion at Carriage Farm who rocked it out on wedding day, and everyone in between, you guys are a fundamental part of making days like this a beautiful success. WE LOVE YOU.
The team at the Pavilion at Carriage Farm were the kindest hosts we could have asked for and welcomed us for the weekend with open arms.
This venue will always be one of our favorites for their professionalism and attention to making your day perfect, no matter what. Bryan + Brittany, the beauty of your day is only a small reflection of the love you share with one another. Congratulations on a truly amazing wedding weekend at The Pavilion at Carriage Farm!
