Madison and Andrew’s Vintage-Inspired Wedding at Oxbow Estate in North Carolina
We love this Pastel Dream styled shoot, so we talked to Alicia Dunlap from Twisted Sapphire Photography, and got the following info about it…
Nestled amidst rolling hills and timeless charm, Oxbow Estate played host to a wedding that seemed to step right out of a dream. Madison and Andrew, a young couple with a love for all things vintage and pastel, chose this picturesque location for their special day. Their wedding was a beautiful blend of whimsical details, heartfelt moments, and a nostalgic touch, perfectly reflecting their unique personalities and shared passions.

A Venue Steeped in Beauty
Oxbow Estate, with its lush gardens and historic charm, set the perfect backdrop for Madison and Andrew’s celebration. The estate’s timeless elegance was beautifully complemented by the couple’s pastel color scheme, creating an ambiance that was both romantic and serene. Soft hues of blush, mint, lavender, and powder blue adorned every corner including the floral arrangements.
The Arrival: A Vintage VW Bug
Making a statement entrance, Madison arrived in a vintage VW bug, a nod to the couple’s love for classic cars. The blue vehicle, adorned with pastel flowers, quickly became a focal point for the day’s photography, capturing the essence of the couple’s playful and nostalgic spirit. This charming car also served as a delightful photo prop for guests, adding a touch of whimsy to the celebration.

Personalized Details
Madison and Andrew’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of their wedding. One of the most unique elements was the use of luggage tags as place cards for their guests. Each tag, designed to look like a mini vintage suitcase, was personalized with the guest’s name and table number. This thoughtful touch not only guided guests to their seats but also doubled as a charming keepsake from the day.

Pastel Perfection
The pastel theme was elegantly woven throughout the wedding. The ceremony space was adorned with pastel-colored ribbons and delicate floral arrangements, creating an ethereal atmosphere as the couple exchanged their vows. The reception area continued the theme, with pastel linens, vintage-inspired tableware, and softly glowing lanterns setting the scene for an evening of celebration.
A Celebration to Remember
As the day started to dwindle down at the Oxbow Estate, the festivities continued outside on this beautiful afternoon. Madison & Andrew continue with their celebration with a fun champagne toast to create memories that would last a lifetime.
