Wedding Planning: Hayfield at Murchison Farms:: October 2025

Schyler and Seth chose Hayfield at Murchison Farms for its quiet beauty and wide-open ease, just outside Burlington, North Carolina, where they both call home. Their ceremony took place on the lawn beneath a sweeping oak tree, with October showing up in its best form, clear skies, crisp air, and that golden light that makes everything feel a little more cinematic. It was an effortlessly stunning backdrop, equal parts refined and relaxed.

Preparations

First Looks & A Private Moment

From the start, the day carried a strong sense of intention. Seth escorted his grandmother down the aisle, a moment that set the tone before the ceremony even began. Both mothers stepped forward as ring bearers, presenting the rings in a way that felt deeply personal and quietly powerful. Faith was woven throughout, most notably as Schyler and Seth built a small cross together during their unity ceremony. And earlier, beneath that same oak tree, their first look struck a balance of calm and emotion, a pause before everything unfolded

The Ceremony

Visually, this wedding delivered. The palette leaned rich and saturated, burgundy, rose, plum, deep pinks, navy, layered with confidence. Schyler knew exactly what she wanted, especially when it came to linens and rentals, and that fun showed up in every detail. 

The Details & Reception

The flow of the evening kept that momentum going. Guests gathered around an expansive charcuterie display instead of passed bites, creating a natural, social start to the night. Later, the dessert table pulled its own weight, donuts from NC Jelly Donuts alongside Nothing Bundt Cakes, both disappearing quickly. And then, the pivot: Schyler surprised Seth and their guests with a performance from Yosef of Appalachian State, a nod to Seth’s college days that instantly shifted the room. From there, the dance floor stayed full, no lulls, no slow fade, just a genuinely great crowd that came ready to celebrate.

They closed the night with a sparkler exit, bright, fast, and full of movement, the perfect finish to a day that never lost its pace. Every piece of it felt considered but never overworked, a wedding that held meaning, style, and a whole lot of life all at once
