Featured: Southern Weddings - Lauren + Jeremiah's May Wedding

We loved seeing Lauren and Jeremiah’s wedding featured on Southern Weddings last month so much that we had to share it again! A special thank you to Perry Vail for capturing and sharing these images with us (and for the feature itself!).


Lauren has such a kind heart and effortless beauty about her that makes it easy to see why Jeremiah is so in love with his bride! It was important to both of them that their marriage remain the center focus of their celebration and not be overshadowed by the glitz and grandeur that sometimes can take center stage on a wedding day. They intentionally chose a few simple, beautiful details that were meaningful to them and reflected their personal style. One of our favorite details was the lily of the valley bouquet Jeremiah sent to Lauren’s bridal suite! It was her favorite childhood flower and seamlessly matched their color scheme of greens and white. 


Throughout the day, the weather was sunny and breezy and shaping up to be a perfect summer day for a wedding on the lawn. But as it sometimes goes with a North Carolina summer day, the weather changed in an instant and just as Lauren walked down the aisle it began to pour. The wedding party and guests dashed inside and the couple completed their ceremony in front of our favorite blue doors! 

Thank you to an excellent team of vendors who assisted in creating the perfect wedding day for Lauren + Jeremiah!

WHAT. A. NIGHT! In partnership with Band Together and La Fête Planning & Design our annual fundraising event, An Evening to Ignite, was a night to remember! Hundreds of individuals came together in support of our 2024 charity partner, Neighbor To Neighbor , a local non-profit dedicated to reversing the debilitating effects poverty has on the most vulnerable families in Raleigh. They believe in providing long-term, one-on-one mentoring relationships for teens resulting in positive generational leaps in education, employment and personal development. What started as an idea and a dream in 2017 to bring together community members and events industry vendors to make a large-scale impact for one local, grassroots nonprofit has become a reality and grown into an annual event that raises over $150,000 each year! With the amazing support of our sponsors, vendors and local community, we are so proud to announce that we raised $201,933.32 for Neighbor To Neighbor ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring to life Neighbor to Neighbor’s dream of a state-of-the-art teen tech center that will create more training pathways, mentorships, and employment opportunities for youth in our community. We cannot wait to see this space realized! The success of this event is due in large part to the generosity of our vendor community and their contributions of time, effort, staffing, materials, inventory, and talents. Over 40 local event industry vendors came together to donate over $250,000+ of goods and services to ensure 100% of the proceeds raised during the event went directly to Neighbor to Neighbor. Year after year, our vendor friends continuously raise the bar by outdoing themselves and helping make Evening to Ignite bigger and better than the year before. We are eternally grateful to be in such a collaborative and talented industry!
