Signs of Spring

March 12, 2021 Olivia Norris

It’s been one whole year between our last Open House, and we were ecstatic to open the barn doors to the public once again. We had no idea that just a few weeks after last year’s Open House that COVID-19 would close our venue for months as we battled the virus spreading through our state and nation. Even while wearing our masks, finally having the opportunity to see our clients, vendor friends, and recently engaged couples in person was the best way to celebrate the start of spring wedding season! We couldn’t see their smiles, but you could hear the joy throughout the room as people wedding planned and celebrated!

The day before Open House was spent setting up, staging tables with linens and napkins from CE Rental Raleigh, place settings and glassware from Gigi’s Creations, and topping off each table with gorgeous blooms from KatieDid Florals. We weren’t shy when planning this design with bright spring colors including sky blue, reds, corals and shades of peach. KatieDid Florals’ design on our fireplace was a show stopper behind the large head table – the flowing ombre blooms were the first thing you noticed when walking through the front doors.

While we were setting things up in the Barn, our model was busy being pampered in the Farmhouse by Blushed Beauty and Hair by Markie. Harris was just married in January, and we were dying to see her in her off-the-shoulder lace dress again. Vintage Scoops treated us to ice cream when we were all done with shoot. Their cookie dough ice cream the sweetest way to end a perfect afternoon at Oakland Farm!
