On the coldest day in January, the best of Raleigh, NC wedding market gathered together to create absolute magic in the only way we know how – perfectly. There was snow on the ground, our noses were red, our hands freezing, but our smiles were wide and our hearts full as we opened the doors to Durham’s premier venue, Carolina Grove.

Nicola & Tyler came to Sweet Oak Events in June of 2021 with big wedding dreams and a prime October wedding date.

Insert – Fall Transition. This style embodies everything that we love about Fall including warm wooden barns, dried florals, cozy velvets and fallen leaves while still holding onto the Summer goodness we aren’t ready to part with just yet. You know, the cool pastels, party ponies and clean lines.

I can’t even put into words how beautiful and sentimental this wedding was and how grateful I am for Molly and Damian for trusting me to bring their dreams to reality.

A fresh take on timeless, our Pink Lemonade editorial was a dream of blissful hues and citrus details.
