Set beneath the century oaks of a historic Raleigh estate, Merrimon Wynne House came alive for a spring showcase built on soft botanicals, jewel-toned velvet, and an eye for unscripted elegance.

The ceremony unfolded beneath a floral-laden arch dressed in ivory blooms and trailing greenery, with guests settled into cane folding chairs and gold-accented benches arranged beneath the property's signature tree canopy.

Cocktail hour spilled onto the lawn, where scalloped rattan tables and a striped market umbrella anchored a relaxed gathering spot, framed by string lights and the historic home's wraparound porch.

Inside the Carriage House, a curved sweetheart banquette wrapped in chocolate satin and mushroom linen set the tone for an evening centered on candlelight, immersive floral runners in blush and burgundy, and a head table elevated with hand-thrown ceramics and hand-poured amber glassware.
