Rachel and Brian had a beautiful vision for their May wedding at the O.Henry Hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina. Silver, ivory, and touches of soft pink flowers made this Pavilion and Cloister Garden outdoor wedding a truly elegant and romantic setting to celebrate with close family and friends. With just 25 guests in attendance, Rachel and Brian filled the Cloister Garden with heartfelt hand-written vows that left not one dry eye in the crowd. While hanging votive candles twinkled in the trees, the guests transitioned into cocktail hour, followed by an intimate dinner in the Pavilion that was designed with silver linens, silver chairs, pink peonies, and loads of candle light. With great conversation and signature cocktails flowing, the night was truly a celebration of the love that Rachel and Brian share.

The bride and groom took advantage of the comfortable sofas in the grand Social Lobby for a photo op after the wedding ceremony in the adjacent Cloister Garden.
The Green Valley Grill and hotel entrance also make for a great photo backdrop with the distinctive brick and O.Henry logo.
Silver Chairs and Silver linen make for a crisp, elegant tablescape.
