If you dream of a charming soiree in France, but you’re stateside, this bit of beauty is for you friend. It’s got all of the old-world charm you need but just so happens to be set at North Carolina’s Graylyn Estate. Yes, believe it! And you can thank Emily Claire Events for dreaming it all up. From the oh-me-oh-my florals by Philosophy Flowers to the ribbon-adorned cake by Sugar Euphoria, Jake and Heather captured it all—more lives in THE VAULT.
From Emily Claire Events…The Loire Valley is full of castles, mist, and a magical feeling. That feeling led to the idea of designing a French inspired editorial back home in the states.
After a trip through France, Emily wanted her brides to be able to experience their dream European wedding without having to travel half way across the world. She knew the Graylyn Estate in North Carolina would be the perfect venue! It has an old world charm that is rare in this part of the country.
The Graylyn Estate features beautiful stonework reminiscent of the Medieval French castles. The warm tones of the stone play perfectly with the grays and blues of the hand-dyed silk ribbon and linens. The foraged florals add an organic quality, while the lace in the brides vintage style gown brings just the right amount of refinement.
Emily loved the contrast of using organic and vintage details against the elegant Estate backdrop. She hoped it would exude the French style she was so inspired by.
