Vivian and Casey’s wedding day at The Morehead Inn was a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple: thoughtful, elegant, and deeply rooted in togetherness. Planned seamlessly by Scout & Grace, their celebration embraced the charm of an intimate gathering while still feeling refined, intentional, and timeless. Nestled in the heart of Charlotte, The Morehead Inn’s historic bed-and-breakfast atmosphere created a setting that felt less like a venue and more like a welcoming home filled with their closest family and friends.
A Thoughtful Start to the Day
The morning began with a calm and joyful energy as Vivian got ready alongside her closest girlfriends. Each wore custom button-up shirts, creating a cohesive and personal touch for getting-ready photos. Vivian’s hair and makeup, beautifully executed by Beauty Asylum, embodied a soft, classic look that perfectly complemented the day’s aesthetic.
Before stepping into her gown, Vivian shared a quiet moment alone in the main living area, taking solo portraits with her dress, an intentional pause that allowed her to soak in the beauty of every detail before the celebration unfolded. Her gown was nothing short of breathtaking, with lace covering every inch from sleeves to train, a structured bodice, and a square neckline that gave the look a timeless, refined feel.
An Intimate Ceremony with Timeless Details
The ceremony took place outdoors in The Morehead Inn’s charming courtyard, surrounded by crisp fall air and glowing sunlight. Live music by Summit Strings carried through the ceremony and cocktail hour, adding an elegant, classic touch that elevated the entire experience.
Following the exchange of vows, guests moved indoors for cocktail hour while the courtyard was thoughtfully transformed for dinner. When they returned, they were welcomed into a candlelit setting adorned with lush floral arrangements by Fairytale Florist. Every design detail, expertly curated by Scout & Grace, worked together to create a warm, romantic atmosphere that felt both elevated and inviting.
A Celebration Centered on Family & Joy
As the evening settled in and temperatures cooled, the celebration only grew warmer. Vivian and Casey began the reception with meaningful dances alongside their mothers, setting a heartfelt tone centered on family and love. Guests then enjoyed dinner prepared by The Morehead Inn’s talented catering team before transitioning indoors for cake cutting on the grand piano, an unforgettable and intimate moment.
The night continued on the dance floor, where Bunn DJ Company kept the energy high and the celebration alive. Laughter, movement, and pure joy filled the space as guests celebrated alongside the newlyweds. To close out the evening, Vivian and Casey were sent off beneath glowing sparklers, running hand in hand into their next chapter together.
