Sarah and Bruce’s Romantic Green and Blush Donovan Manor Wedding

Sarah and Bruce’s Donovan Manor Wedding led to the kind of celebration that glowed with their personality. Candlelight, joy, and energy filled the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We’re wedding planners based in Raleigh and we always love doing something close to home! We feel privileged to help couples design a day that reflects who they truly are. Their celebration perfectly balanced their romance and sense of humor.

Elegant Green, Blush, and Champagne Design

The design focused on shades of olive and sage green, accented by soft touches of blush and champagne. Together, these colors created an atmosphere that felt both formal and inviting. To enhance the ambiance, we incorporated dozens of candles throughout the space. As a result, the twinkling glow made the room feel as joyful as the couple themselves.

Playful Personal Touches for a Donovan Manor Wedding

In addition to the elegant design, Sarah and Bruce wanted to showcase their personalities in fun ways. For example, an LED sign with their last name lit up the dance floor. Meanwhile, custom fat heads of their pets added plenty of laughs. To keep the energy high, a photo booth with props and a bubble gun on the dance floor delighted guests of all ages.

Overall, this wedding beautifully combined a formal event while maintaining the couple’s playful side. The day felt both romantic and full of joy, leaving an impression that left guests saying “This was a perfect reflection of Sarah and Bruce.” As a North Carolina wedding planner, helping couples design celebrations that reflect their personalities is always the most rewarding part of the work, and this wedding was proof of that.
