True love means total trust in one another, right? Well, what better way to show that faith than taking your future hubby’s word that your wedding venue is wonderful, not stepping on site until the week of. That’s what this Bride right here did, and any worries she may have had quickly dissipated, because this Blue Ridge beauty is perfection. Perry Vaile captured the romance – and this stunner of a dress – and we’re all the happier for it. See it all work out, oh so well, in our Vault this way!
From Perry Vaile… A fog-laden chilly morning welcomed these two Miami natives to North Carolina for their January wedding day. The bride had never even seen her venue before she arrived the week of the wedding, trusting in her husband-to-be’s affirmation that it was something special. Jess and Ben faced the frigid temps and 100% rain forecast with a mindset that it’d work out regardless, and they weren’t disappointed. The rain held off, Jess’s choice of a vibrant aubergine palette paired beautifully with the natural tones of the scenery and they were able to host an unforgettable, eclectic mountain affair deep in the Blue Ridge mountains for 50 of their closest family and friends.
Jess wore flats by Manolo Blahnik, and a breathtaking gown by Hayley Paige through moss-covered stones and leaf-filled paths throughout her wedding day. The couple celebrated their marriage by enjoying a steaming wine before portraits and spent a few quiet moments together atop the mountain before heading into the reception.
