In August, Riley and Bailey tied the knot at the beautiful White Crow in Banner Elk, NC. Their story began with a shared love for clogging, and many of their family members and friends shared this passion, making for a lively and unforgettable dance floor.

I had the pleasure of designing their wedding, transforming Riley’s vision into a stunning reality. We opted for a modern aesthetic, featuring lots of black, white, and touches of greenery that truly captured their style.

Dessert was a blend of tradition and fun. They had a classic wedding cake, and Riley couldn't resist smashing some in Bailey’s face during the cake-cutting ceremony! Additionally, guests enjoyed local cookies from Appalachia Cookie Company, which they could savor at the wedding or take home as a late-night treat.

Throughout the evening, guests had a blast playing cornhole outside, sitting by the fire pit, taking in the breathtaking mountain views, and, of course, dancing the night away.

A touching tribute was made to Riley’s grandfather, who had passed away during the wedding planning process. To honor his memory, the couple made their grand exit in his car, taking a moment for a special photoshoot before heading off into the night.

We capped off the celebration with a private last dance between the couple and a magical sparkler exit, creating a perfect ending to a perfect day.
