Elegant NC Mountain Wedding

Pelumi and Gabriel’s NC Mountain Wedding at Overlook Barn

When Pelumi and Gabriel met at a birthday party of a mutual friend’s mother, they hit it off immediately and began dating after a month. A year later, Gabriel secretly invited their friends to fly to Miami and meet them at a rooftop restaurant for an intimate and surprising proposal to Pelumi.

On Aug. 30, 2019, the bride walked down the aisle and saw all of her friends and family gathered to celebrate.

“I started balling ugly tears and I am not a public crier,” Pelumi says.

Pelumi knew she wanted to get married surrounded by mountain views and found Overlook Barn in Banner Elk to be the perfect fit. “The team at Overlook Barn were fantastic,” Pelumi says.

Personalized Wedding Details at Overlook Barn

The couple’s wedding was small for Nigerian standards, as both the bride and groom spent time growing up in Nigeria. They personalized their celebration in many ways from wooden seating tags and a champagne seating chart, to napkins with their initials and cups with their pictures. They also created their very own wedding hashtag #PGLOVE19.

The wedding theme highlighted lots of greenery with a splash of muted colors through mountain views coupled with white, green, and pink flowers. Fuschia Moss Floral Design captured Pelumi’s vision effortlessly. “The floating centerpiece was important to me and she made it happen,” Pelumi says. The couple also included a champagne wall and elaborate cake display in their wedding.
