FEATURED: Style Me Pretty: When the Rain Stops Just in Time and You Get the Ceremony of Your Dreams


RAIN OR SHINE: THEY HAD A PLAN B


Rain-Proofing the Wedding


They say rain on your wedding day brings good luck - of course in the moment it may not feel that way but don’t fret, We at The Merrimon-Wynne House have you covered (literally!).


From the carriage house to tenting the lawn, your rain back up plan can look just as beautiful your plan A!


Showers then Shine


Becky & Nick’s day started off with a few showers but ended with sunshine! With the day calling for a chance of rain, they had a plan in place that looked beautiful and allowed for their outdoor ceremony to still happen!

 For their ceremony, Rebecca Rose Events designed a beautiful tent on the lawn which had a garden style feel.


The Aisle


Their aisle was marked by stunning organic floral arrangements with natural wood chairs for their guests to sit comfortably as they tie the knot!


The Ceremony


Their ceremony arbor was surrounded by white wooden boxes filled with more florals, which was a stunning touch!


Following their ceremony, their nearest & dearest enjoyed Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in the main house and moved into the carriage house for dinner and dancing! It was a beautiful celebration to be a part of!

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!
