It’s Thursday! You know what that means! That’s right! We are so excited to share with you, Shea and Jeff’s AMAZING wedding day!! You may remember this sporty and adventurous couple from their gorgeous engagement session at the Historic Oak View Park last fall! Well, they made it official last weekend with an intimate ceremony at St. Mary’s School Chapel and a beautiful reception at The Oaks at Salem in Apex, NC. Their wedding was the quintessential Southern wedding that we live for! Carolina blue bridesmaid dresses with matching bow ties for the groom and his men gave this wedding lots of sweet southern charm! As you can see from the pictures, this couple was made for each other!! We had an incredible day with them!

We asked Shea and Jeff to tell us a little about their wedding, and this is what they told us!

“We will be having a lot of greenery at our wedding. I would say rustic, but not too rustic at all. We really wanted a simple way to admire the outdoors since we love being outside so much. The flowers will all be blues and whites. The bridesmaids will be wearing the color ‘Carolina blue’ and the groomsmen will be wearing Navy suits. The bow ties of the groomsmen match closely to the bridesmaid’s dresses.”

Tell us about your dress. Did you get it from a bridal boutique? Who designed it?

Shea said she found her dress in Vows Bridal Outlet in Watertown, MA! It is a Badgley Mischka Blake.

Tell us about the Groom’s outfit. Is there anything unique about his attire?

Jeff is wearing an airborne bow tie to reference his time in the military and as a paratrooper. He is also wearing socks that have parachutes on them. The bow tie and socks are from Grant & Patton.

We know you are super excited about getting married! What other special moments are you looking forward to?

Shea told us, “Seeing each other for the first time in the church. The special moments of getting ready with our parents and having our first dances with them. Our first dance together being able to really cherish the moment as husband and wife. To start this next chapter together with all of our family and friends there to support us and celebrate with us. The first time we met we danced under a white tent so we are excited to do so again as our first dance.” Such amazing moments!

Will you be going on a honeymoon?

She told us, “We will be going to Greece for our honeymoon! We will be heading to Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Tinos for 2 weeks in June!” Take us with you! lol
