Featured: Style Me Pretty - See Why We Always Fall in Love With Southern Weddings

Bride and Groom Portrait at The Merrimon-Wynne House

With the holidays right around the corner, we love the idea of reminiscing on spring time love stories to make sure everyone is ready for another amazing wedding season in 2018 - What better way to do that than with a beautiful wedding that included dinner al fresco?!?! Plus it is North Carolina after all, who knows, it could feel like spring in January!


Blair and Danny exchanged vows at Market Hall then guests were invited to celebrate their love here at The Merrimon-Wynne House. 


Blair and Danny's wedding vision came to life with blooms cascading down the stairwell, on the homes original mantels and beautifully dangling from the beams of the Carriage House. Even the market lights were wrapped with greenery - the lawn was sparkling all night long! Adding beauty and intimacy to their reception space were sensational furniture pieces and warm linens that matched their palette perfectly. A feature we loved ever so much was their bar. One of our favorite details was the hanging lanterns around the Carriage House bar that continued their modern, luxurious vibe. 

The details were thought out and executed flawlessly and we would like to thank the amazing team of vendors who made that happen.

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 2025 charity partner, Ripe For Revival , a local non-profit dedicated to combat food insecurity by providing accessible, nutritious food using Mobile Markets. They believe in building communities by utilizing large buses and trailers that are transformed into a pay-what-you-can system to provide access to fresh and local foods to areas that are considered "food deserts." 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 $258,610.02 was raised for Ripe For Revival ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring fresh and affordable food to the Triangle!
