Wedding Ceremony on the Lawn at The Umstead Hotel and Spa
For those couples who are dreaming of a nature filled wedding ceremony for their special day, The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Raleigh, NC is the perfect outdoorsy venue location. Their wedding lawn offers a backdrop of natural elegancy with beautiful lush trees and a shimmering three-acre lake directly adjacent to their spacious ceremony lawn. With all the lustrous greenery that surrounds the property, couples and their guests will feel as though they are at a nature retreat. This lends itself perfectly to an upscale boho wedding affair!
Amanda, the bride, wanted their wedding day to be filled with gorgeous burgundy florals throughout the ceremony and reception site. The outdoorsy bohemian vibe of the luxurious blooms and greenery that were put together for the occasion perfectly accented the gorgeous outdoor areas at The Umstead Hotel and Spa. The couple enlisted the help of Raleigh wedding planning and design team, A Southern Soiree, who built on the natural elements of the venue, mixing its plentiful greenery and with the burgundy accents of the florals.
A custom floral and tree arbor looked stunning on the ceremony site on lawn at The Umstead Hotel and Spa. The tree bark, floral and greenery leaves of the arbor seamlessly blended with the tree backdrop for the outdoor wedding ceremony. The arbor framed the gorgeous water fountain centered in the sparkling lake that serves as a wedding backdrop. The wooded area and lake perfectly encapsulates the spirit of nature and creates an stunning outdoorsy chic wedding location for a boho bride, like Amanda.
