Merrimon Wynne Weddings | Taryn & MG

Sometimes a wedding is truly a delight for the senses…a work of art created by the bride, the groom and their vendors, and offered up for the enjoyment of the guests. I believe that attention to detail is what elevates a wedding to this level. Designer Charles Eames once said “The details are not the details. They make the design.” This statement seems particularly true as I think back on Taryn and MG’s beautiful wedding at the Merrimon Wynne House, perfectly coordinated by A Southern Soiree.
Taryn and MG met at a party in 2011, through mutual friends. A couple of months later, they knew they’d found something very special! Simply being together means the world to these two, it doesn’t matter what they’re doing! Just so long as they have their sweet Labrador Retriever Molly by their side. When MG proposed, the couple decided to tie the knot where their relationship started (in Raleigh) surrounded by their nearest and dearest. And that’s exactly what they did last November!
Every detail of the day held meaning for these two. Taryn wore an Enzoani gown with a cathedral-length veil and hair clips that her sister wore on her own wedding day. These hair clips will become keepsakes, passed down through the generations. One of the most unique details was the bespoke crest created for the occasion by Simply Jessica Marie. The crest incorporates images that hold deep meaning for Taryn and MG, and they used it as a motif on napkins, pillowcases, programs and cups. The guest book bore an original watercolor by artist BECCA – a beautiful picture of the Merrimon Wynne House that Taryn and MG will display in their home. Such sweet and artistic ways to express their love story! As for the wedding photos, there was a very special moment for me centered around the portraits. I mentioned to Taryn and MG that I loved how this part of the day felt so unhurried. Most guys (my husband included!) aren’t too fond of standing for portraits. But MG replied that Taryn had put so much thought into the wedding, and that she would value the photos so much, so standing patiently for portraits was the least he could do. So sweet!
I hope you enjoy these photos of Taryn and MG’s special day. And if you’re interested in learning more about the unique details of their wedding, they were featured on Style Me Pretty!
