WEDDING PLANNING : Merrimon Wynne House : April 2023
Spring Wedding at Merrimon Wynne
Nestled in the heart of Raleigh, the Merrimon Wynne House is known for its historic charm and sweeping Southern elegance—and it was the perfect backdrop for Kate and Michael’s spring wedding. On a beautiful April afternoon, the couple exchanged vows in a classic outdoor ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The house’s white façade and lush green grounds set the stage for a celebration that felt both timeless and deeply personal, creating a picture-perfect start to their marriage.
The Couple
Kate and Michael’s story began long before their wedding day—they’re high school sweethearts whose love grew from teenage friendship into lifelong commitment. Michael even shared during his vows a sweet (and funny) memory from those early days: he once reached out to Kate on social media under the guise of asking for math help, even though he didn’t actually need it. The kicker? All the answers Kate gave him were wrong! That playful moment highlighted the humor and connection that has carried them through the years and made their wedding day all the more special.

The Ceremony
The Glorious Wedding Details
From the moment Kate stepped out in her wedding dress, guests were in awe. Inspired by Hailey Bieber’s iconic gown, her look was the centerpiece around which the entire design of the day was built. The florals echoed her effortless style—soft creams, whites, and delicate pastels that felt romantic and understated, complementing both the venue and Kate’s stunning dress. When it came to dinner, the couple stayed true to their values as passionate vegans, offering a menu curated by Snap Pea Catering. The all-vegan spread was nothing short of extraordinary, with guests raving about how delicious and creative each dish was.
The Merrimon Wynne Reception
As the evening unfolded, guests were treated to heartfelt toasts, laughter, and a joyful celebration under the warm glow of the Merrimon Wynne House. One of the most touching gestures came in the form of handwritten thank-you cards—each guest received a personal note from Kate and Michael, a meaningful reminder of how much their loved ones mean to them. It was a detail that spoke volumes about the couple’s thoughtfulness and gratitude, and it left everyone feeling deeply appreciated.
From the romantic setting to the playful storytelling, from the stunning design to the thoughtful guest touches, Kate and Michael’s wedding was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple. Their celebration at the Merrimon Wynne House wasn’t just about two people saying “I do”—it was about honoring a love story that began years ago and sharing it in the most heartfelt, joyful way with the people who matter most.
