We lived out our dream of planning and designing a European-inspired wedding for the happiest couple (I mean seriously, you can’t help but smile when you’re around them!).

They came to us with a classic, minimal, and romantic wedding vision with a touch of Euro flair. The Bradford right outside of Raleigh, North Carolina encompassed all of our inspirations and helped bring this European countryside wedding to life.

We enjoyed every moment of this day that we wanted to share some of our favorite highlights with you!

Details

It’s all in the details! We kept it classy by incorporating earthy neutrals into the floral arrangements, and tapping into the tablescape with a chic and semi-modern twist alongside the room’s white backdrop. This made for a simple and elegant ambiance that transformed the evening.

Ceremony

The ceremony was held in an open courtyard, surrounded by lush natural greenery. The couple exchanged their vows in front of the venue’s brand new brick hearth!

Couple Portraits

The Bradford is home to many hidden spots scattered throughout the property to capture those picture perfect moments. The architecture provided the European inspiration, while The Bradford’s twelve acres of greenery created that countryside aesthetic.

Reception

The reception was filled with plenty of dancing, laughter and love! It was impossible not to feel the energy. We hold onto these moments extra tight knowing so many beautiful memories were created this day.
