Timeline & Key Moments of This Merrimon-Wynne House Wedding

Festivities began with bridal preparations, where matching robes set a cozy tone. Shortly after, the groom and his party arrived to get ready. We started photography coverage focusing on both venue details and personal touches. Guests gathered inside the Carriage House for the ceremony because of the weather! It was amazingly beautiful! While the carriage house was flipped for the reception, guests went to cocktail hour in the main house. Everyone moved to the carriage house for introductions, dinner, and toasts. A lively reception carried on until the sparkler exit!

A Refined Aesthetic & Decor

Dusty rose, gold, and lush greenery framed every space with romantic flair. English Garden used soft blooms and delicate foliage to enhance the venue’s timeless features. Subtle candlelight and simple place settings complemented the historic interior. Even brief rain showers seemed to highlight the warm glow inside.

Many guests remarked on the grand porch, which provided a dry space for mingling and photos. The ceremony included heartfelt vows, while the cocktail hour showcased custom signature drinks—a blackberry vodka lemonade for her and a margarita for him. Each detail reflected the couple’s style, yet the Merrimon-Wynne House Wedding itself remained the focal point. The bride’s robe, made from her mother’s wedding dress, stood out as a sentimental highlight.
