Megan and Samuel’s wedding day was a vibrant celebration overflowing with color, emotion, and joy. From bold floral statements to meaningful, personal moments shared just between the two of them, every detail reflected their energy and love story. Set against the charm of downtown Raleigh, their day felt lively and heartfelt.

A Morning Moment to Remember

Before the celebration began, Megan and Samuel carved out time together, a run together through downtown.

When asked about her favorite memory, Megan shared:

“We did a run around downtown together the morning of! It was awesome to have some time together doing something we love before all the festivities started.”

In the midst of a day filled with anticipation, this quiet, playful tradition grounded them. It was intentional, authentic, and a beautiful reminder that their wedding wasn’t just about the event, it was about the life they already love sharing.

Florals That Made a Statement

The design vision truly came to life through the incredible work of Dazel Florals. Rich reds, warm oranges, and crisp whites created a bold and joyful palette that instantly energized the space. Each arrangement felt thoughtfully curated, lush, dynamic, and full of movement. Dazel Florals crafted an atmosphere that felt celebratory and alive, perfectly mirroring Megan and Samuel’s personalities.

Capturing Every Emotion

Arika Jordan Photography documented the day with a beautiful balance of light, artistry, and authenticity. Every frame was filled with genuine emotion, the anticipation, the laughter, the quiet glances, and the uninhibited joy. Arika captured the story as it naturally unfolded. The result is a gallery that feels timeless yet full of life, preserving not just how the day looked, but how it felt.

Elevated Details & Seamless Design

Bringing the design together were the thoughtfully selected rentals from Curated Events Raleigh. Their pieces provided the perfect foundation for the bold floral palette to shine. The rentals added texture and a pop of fun, grounding the vibrant color story with timeless structure.

A Celebration as Bold as Their Love

With vibrant florals, joyful energy, and a team of talented vendors bringing every detail together, Megan and Samuel’s wedding was a true reflection of their personalities. The day felt lively, heartfelt, and effortlessly cohesive from start to finish.

Surrounded by color, emotion, and the people who mean the most to them, they began this next chapter in a way that felt completely their own.
