Historic Walnut Hill Bridal Open House — Timeless Love Weddings

Last weekend we had the honor of planning, coordinating and designing the Beautiful Historic Walnut Hill‘s first ever bridal open house.

To be honest, I was a bit nervous taking on such a project. The reality was, this is a new venue in Raleigh and though some brides had seen the property in the early stages, it was the first time prospective couples and local vendors could see the ultimate beauty Walnut Hill has to offer.

The Grand opening of Walnut Hill couldn’t be any ole open house. It had to be an experience as the guests walked the beautiful grounds of Walnut Hill they could imagine their Wedding day and all that could be had.  So we collaborated with some of Raleigh’s Top vendors to help create such an experience. I couldn’t help but share some of the amazing photos taken by Fabiana Skubic Photography and VMA Studios and of course having Sarah and Brandon films capturing all the fun.

The day started off with a bridal portrait session with three gorgeous brides. VMA Studios and Fabiana Skubic had them all over the picturesque venue. Aaron (VMA Studio’s) and Fabiana (Fabiana Skubic Photography) truly capture the magnificent property and the gorgeousness of Oak City Bridal gowns. Here’s a sneak peek.

I can only speculate based on this photo and by the number of couples and family members that stuck around for hours that they had a great time.

We loved meeting so many couples last week. Building a relationship with our couples is so important and we hope those came out had the time of their lives. To all the amazing vendors, I really can’t thank you enough for showcasing your talents and making Walnut Hill‘s first bridal open house a success. God surely blessed us with the best Spring weather a girl could ask for. Now to start the planning for FALL.

Be on the lookout for when we announce the date sometime in the Summer. 

Thank you Fabiana Skubic Photography (the ones without watermarks) and VMA Studios (watermarked) for capturing all the fun.
