Carolina Grove Wedding – Grace & Will

FILED UNDER

Grace & Will wanted an elevated wedding day affair but wanted to make sure that it felt fun and authentic. Carolina Grove is a stunning wedding venue in Hillsborough, North Carolina just 30 minutes away from the main Raleigh area and is a beautiful natural location that feels secluded from city life. It’s surrounded by magical forestry (especially in the fall), and the florals from Chris at Heritage Florals brought the design of the day to the next level.

Grace’s first look with her dad and her bridesmaids was such a sweet highlight from the getting ready portion of the day. The wedding party wore all black, with stunning gowns from both Grace and Will’s mothers. Carolina Grove does cocktail hour so well, with options for outside as well as inside so you can enjoy the weather or stay warm by the bar.

The band, East Coast Entertainment really made the reception a party, with classic songs that kept the crowd going all night long. Check out the highlights below from Grace & Will’s wedding day at Carolina Grove in NC.
