A little taste of European vibes in North Carolina, Slate and Cypress is a gorgeous venue tucked away an hour outside of Wilmington. I love a venue where you can stay in the same location from morning mimosas to the sparkler exit at the end of the night, and Slate and Cypress has just that. Their outdoor area is stunning for your ceremony and cocktail hour, and a nice, open, well-lit interior for the reception. Madison and Griffin planned the most gorgeous wedding day in mid-October, with the PERFECT weather, and some of my favorite colors this year! They were SO much fun to work with, their huge smiles never faltered all day, and I can’t even begin to describe the dance party. There was crowd surfing, there was plenty of falling over from dancing too hard, there was so much laughter. I loved this crew. Okay enough of my rambling – check out the highlights from Madison and Griffin’s wedding day!
