Grace & Javier crafted the perfect day at the beautiful, historic Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh, NC. They struck the perfect balance between intimate, elegant, fun, and definitely kept the main thing…the main thing.

The couple opted out of the traditional wedding party and opted for a single best man and maid of honor. However, the couple still had all their best friends hang with them throughout the morning while getting ready. You could say, they had their cake and ate it too. They didn’t want the stress of a large wedding party (hair/makeup/logistics), but they still wanted to hang with all their besties. Bam! Problem solved!

They also decided to be literally surrounded by their friends and family during the ceremony with 180 degree, circular style ceremony seating. It was MAGICAL. Because of the setup and the smaller guest list, there were literally no bad seats in the lawn with family and honored attendants having special, reserved seating.

Grace & Javier’s day was truly the prime example of doing it well, while also doing it their way.
