Vivian & Matt

A tropical romance redesigned

When Vivian and Matt’s original plan for a Caribbean rainforest wedding was canceled due to COVID-19, they decided to bring the tropics home to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The result was a celebration that blended vibrant, destination-inspired design with the natural beauty of the mountains.

To capture the essence of their Caribbean vision, we curated a bold, tropical theme for both florals and décor. Lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and poolside details infused the celebration with the refreshing spirit of the Caribbean Sea. Even in the heart of the mountains, guests felt transported to a colorful and joyful paradise.

The estate venue provided the perfect backdrop — offering both elegance and versatility. By layering tropical textures and playful details against the serene mountain setting, the wedding struck the right balance between sophisticated and celebratory. Every element reflected Vivian and Matt’s story: a love resilient enough to overcome challenges, and creative enough to find beauty no matter the destination.

This wedding highlights how North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains can become the setting for more than rustic or traditional celebrations. With thoughtful planning, couples can infuse any destination-inspired aesthetic — tropical, coastal, European — into their design, without ever leaving home.
