Megan said it best- “Overlook Barn doesn’t need a lot to make it feel warm and homey.” Add in some natural greenery and boho-chic vibes and a ton of family and friends ready to dance their butts off, and you got yourself a warm and homey situation! I love that these two wanted to combine their backgrounds (she from Pennsylvania, he from Georgia) and bring their loved ones together in a place as beautiful as the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Talk about a gorgeous middle ground! They had some southern influences like biscuits, pimento cheese, and a mashed potato bar, and some super delicious whoopie pies brought from Lancaster, PA to represent her northern roots. While it threatened rain all day, it held off so we could thoroughly enjoy those blue mountain views. Megan is a fellow Mountaineer (go App!) and she and Hunter would go hiking and camping together, so what better place to host a wedding than a place you love so much?

A Summer wedding in an industrial warehouse space, a gorgeous BHLDN gown, a flower crown that is to die for, and PIZZA FOR DINNER?? Hell yes please and thank you. Rain and Tracy met through mutual friends, and embodied a lot of their local Durham connections for their wedding- Raina is the product facilitator at Union Hair Studio (and look at her hair, holy cow right?) and Tracy is part owner of Hutchins Garage- a stylish new bar and pizza joint that you should go eat at right now before finishing this blog post. Seriously, go. I’ll wait.
So of course we all got to eat delicious pizza, and enjoy the Rice Krispies Treat cake (also featuring fruity pebbles and cocoa krispies) from The Cupcake Shoppe in Raleigh. Raina even grew some of the plants and greenery used in the ceremony and reception space- I’m still jealous of that green thumb. You can find this wedding featured in the September 2018 issue of Durham Magazine.
