While we are based in Raleigh, we enjoy traveling across the Southeast for celebrations and fun designs! Kayla and Malik’s Graylyn Estate wedding design was a fun one because we got inspiration from British Royals. Their outdoor ceremony blended royal inspiration with a modern twist. Graylyn Estate looks like a European castle, surrounded by gardens that feel straight out of the English countryside. In fact, we drew inspiration from Princess Diana’s iconic wedding style and the British royal family’s gardens.

A Modern Royal Color Palette

To modernize this traditional royal aesthetic, we introduced chartreuse accents into a palette of soft neutrals and ivory. As a result, this color choice brought modern energy to the design. You can see it reflected in the amaranthus, other greenery accents, and even the fun napkins! It also photographed beautifully against the estate’s stone architecture.

Tablescape Details Fit for Royalty

Pintuck linens added dimension to the table settings. Then, travertine textures were layered on top to provide a vintage feel that brought warmth to the tablescape. For a personal touch, we also gave guests laser-cut acrylic place cards.

The Graylyn Estate Wedding Ceremony Space

The ceremony space was one of our favorite details to create. Soft draping framed the gazebo in the white garden, which instantly set a regal tone. Surrounded by blooming gardens and the grandeur of Graylyn’s stone walls, it truly felt like an outdoor chapel fit for royalty.

A Royal Nod in the Cake

Even the cake carried a nod to the British royal family. Remember Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s deconstructed wedding cake?

Why We Loved This Graylyn Estate Wedding Design

Overall, designing this editorial Graylyn Estate wedding for Kayla and Malik was such a joy. It let us showcase our love for thoughtful design by combining textures, color, and architecture into something elevated and unique. Ultimately, every detail came together to tell a story within one of North Carolina’s most breathtaking venues.
