Spring Serenity: A North Carolina Wedding Awash in Earth Tones and Elegance

Lucy and Shawn wanted a wedding that highlighted the natural beauty of Spring in North Carolina. Earth tones and thoughtful details were layered to create a romantic and soft atmosphere. The design was intended to feature simple and elegant details that were layered to create an impactful impression.

In May 2023, Shawn proposed against the breathtaking backdrop of Wild Goose Island at sunset in Glacier National Park. The stunning scenery provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable engagement.

Rocky Top Catering created an artisanal menu celebrating the spring season. Cocktail hour offered guests Mediterranean tuna crudo, pork and bacon meatballs, and roasted tomato bruschetta. The plated dinner service offered a beet salad to start, a choice of grilled flat iron, seared scallops, or a cumin seared sweet potato. Guests were treated to Creme Brulee ice cream from Andia’s Ice Cream for dessert.

The floral inspiration was a garden and gathered feel featuring seasonal blooms and greenery. The guest tables were adorned with ivory taper candles and ikebana bowls creating a playful feel. The signage incorporated blue from the floral palette and included a welcome sign, and custom escort display inspired by the couple’s love of sweets. The florals, decor, and signage were created with simplistic elegance in mind and designed to compliment the venue’s architecture and the serine landscape.

The “Jamocha me Crazy” wedding cake featured a textured icing design and florals. The bride and groom’s mothers were served individual cakes to honor them on Mother’s Day.

The couple enjoyed a traditional chinese tea ceremony with their family in the bridal suite.
