At Overlook Barn, we sincerely believe that weddings can be beautiful, rain or shine. Karen and Allison’s special day served as a testament to this belief, as they embraced the rainy weather and radiated joy throughout their celebration. Thistle & Twig Floral Design’s stunning orange and white blooms, citrus trees, and fresh greenery transported guests to the warm Tuscan countryside. Enhanced by the barn’s enchanting string lights, Cynthia Viola Photography skillfully captured the love and ambiance of the occasion. Join us as we delve into the delightful details of this remarkable wedding!
Karen and Allison infused their wedding day with personal touches that made it truly extraordinary. Among these was a heartfelt blessing stone ceremony, where family and friends shared handwritten notes, blessing their union. These messages, along with rose quartz stones symbolizing love and support, were carefully placed in a bag, signifying the beginning of their journey together.
The couple’s engagement in the picturesque mountains of North Carolina and their cherished memories of Beech Mountain made Overlook Barn the ideal venue for their nuptials. Serendipitously discovered during a weekend trip, it captured their hearts as the perfect place to say “I do.” To honor their connection to the High Country, Karen and Allison enlisted the services of local vendors. Blue Deer Cookies delighted guests with delectable treats, while Happy Trailers provided local craft brews that added to the festivities.
A remarkable aspect of this wedding was the intentional inclusion of LGBTQ-celebratory vendors. The lead singers of the wedding band, Courtney Lynn and Quinn, are happily married themselves. Moreover, Karen and Allison’s chosen officiant, along with her wife, played a significant role in the ceremony and celebration, amplifying the sense of unity and love.
Weather notwithstanding, these radiant brides exuded love and happiness. Surrounded by the warmth of their loved ones, the vibrant orange and cream floral arrangements, and the rustic elegance of the barn, their day was unforgettable. It was a true honor for us to host this exquisite celebration and bear witness to the profound love that Karen and Allison share.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Karen, Allison, and their families for choosing Overlook Barn as the backdrop for their magical day. It was an honor to share in their joy and celebrate their love.
