Paige and Brett’s Greensboro wedding day was filled with moments of pure magic at Rev Mill Events. The Courtyard was the perfect ceremony choice with summer in full bloom, feeling like it was straight out of a fairy tale. The guests created an atmosphere of sheer excitement as the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows. There was an undeniable love in the air!

From the moment their wedding day began, the bride and groom were surrounded by friends and family who were elated to be part of this beautiful day. You could truly feel the excitement and expectations for the festivities ahead. Paige and her bridesmaids took full advantage of The Suite as they got ready together, sharing laughter, tears and heartfelt moments.

CEREMONY

“Looking out the window at the "first look" with Paige & Brett and then the 2nd "first look" that Paige had with her dad (Ed) and brother (Eddie). It was precious and I'm so very glad that Paige wanted to add Eddie in the mix. After the "first looks", Paige and Brett both seemed so happy and calm.........there was just a feeling that all was well with the world. From the words of the FOB, Paige was so calm it helped me to be calm.” - Mother of the Bride

Have we mentioned how much we love first looks? We absolutely loved that Paige and Brett incorporated this tradition into their wedding day. Those quiet moments during a first look are so sweet before meeting again at the altar. It can help calm nerves and you may choose to exchange vows intimately before the ceremony as a special memory between just the two of you.

As the Groom and groomsmen took their place in The Courtyard, the Bride and her bridesmaids began their walk down the courtyard stone walkway. The sun sparkled upon the newlyweds as they said “I do”.

COCKTAIL HOUR

As guests flowed from The Courtyard into The Colonnade, they were greeted with a delightful cocktail hour in our lower level. As guests mixed and mingled, they enjoyed delicious appetizers including Mushroom Caps, Beef Bruschetta and Southwestern Potato Skins and sipped on the signature drink, a Moscow Mule. The air was filled with the gentle hum of laughter and clinking of glasses as guests savored every moment.

“Paige let me know what she did not want in a wedding venue (barns, ugly ballroom carpet, country club types....) and then gave me several places to preview before she and Brett could get to Greensboro. She also liked the "Industrial look". I set up the meeting with Ben and then brought 2 very dear friends to the meeting. It was the very 1st venue we visited and all 3 of us immediately knew that it was Paige!” - Mother of the Bride

The Reception

The Colonnade came to life as guests ascended into the upper venue space that was perfectly prepared with elegant table designs for the reception. As the evening progressed from toasts to dinner, guests enjoyed heart warming speeches and toasts on love before enjoying a delicious meal prepared by our in house catering including Beef Tenderloin Medallions, Blackened Tilapia Filets, Wild Mushroom Risotto and Roasted Veggies.

Kathryn & Clint’s wedding day at Revolution Mill Events was the perfect day for friends and family to share and celebrate the beginning of their next chapter in their love story. Incorporating a cohesive design with little hints of their personalities sprinkled throughout, they created the perfect June wedding day in Greensboro, North Carolina

“Our wedding day was beautiful! It was a perfect, sunny day filled with family, friends, and laughter. We had so much fun getting to spend time with all of our favorite people in one place. From getting ready together in the morning, to dancing the night away, it was so heartwarming to see everyone from both sides of the family come together. The venue was stunning and all of the vendors were spot on. We couldn't have asked for a better day!” - BRIDE

---

The thoughtfulness behind every aspect of their wedding shone through from the touches of the textures to the loving acknowledgments to family traditions placed throughout the day. The design elements were light, welcoming and allowed guests to experience more of the couple's personalities and story throughout the day.

“The most unique part of our wedding was our cookie table filled with homemade treats! My family is originally from Pennsylvania and it is a tradition to have a cookie table at weddings for guests to bring homemade cookies to contribute. It is so popular that there are actually Italian Wedding Cookies specifically for this occasion! My mom, grandmothers, and aunts all contributed to the wedding cookie table. We had table top labels that showed a picture of me and the family member that made the cookies on display for our guests as they grazed. We had doggy bags for people to take some cookies with them as their wedding favor and needless to say, it was a huge hit!” - BRIDE

---

The Jordan’s took DIY by storm when planning their wedding day. Kathryn fell in love with the floral design of her wedding dress and decided to incorporate it into other aspects of their wedding design. Their custom signage, invitations and stationery was all cohesively planned and designed with the dress in mind!

 “The biggest piece of advice we would give couples planning their wedding is: don't be afraid to stray from tradition or what's trending to make the day your own. This day is to celebrate YOU, so do what you feel is right. We are so happy that we put our own personal spin on things from the timeline, to layouts, and key parts of the day that we wanted to make sure happened.” - BRIDE

---

The Ceremony

The Courtyard was prepped perfectly for the event down to every last special detail. On this beautiful June day, the North Carolina sun lit the courtyard and created the ideal conditions for their outdoor ceremony. Their floral arrangements were unique and gorgeously placed for framing the couple as they said their “I do’s”. As everyone entered the space, guests' excitement filled the air with expectation of the event to come. Their color palette was absolutely stunning against The Courtyard’s greenery and historic brick background.

“It was very important to us to have some outdoor space because we were having a spring wedding and wanted our guests to be able to enjoy the weather. Once we toured the venue, we fell in love. We loved that the event space was completely private, something other venues we toured were lacking, and that there were so many options. We had multiple options for how to use the indoor and outdoor spaces which is something we were really looking for because we wanted to make the wedding personal. There were even multiple options for the rehearsal dinner spaces! We were able to confidently make decisions based on what we felt was best because we were able to weigh our options on how to best use the space.” - BRIDE

The Reception

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers in The Courtyard, the couples favorite space at Rev Mill Events, before moving into The Colonnade for the Reception. The decor choices were beautifully intertwined with the colors and theme of the wedding design. The floral arrangements continued to catch your eye as they were elegantly placed on each table. The Reception was full of love, celebration, and admiration from family and friends gathered to celebrate the newlyweds!

If anything went wrong, we were not aware of it, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day!”

Florals: Something Borrowed Blooms - “provided the stunning wedding florals! This company allows you to rent silk florals for weddings (and other events) and I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of their flowers. As a type A bride, I didn't like the unknown of what my flowers would look like the day of, so I opted for a more predictable, affordable, and sustainable option. These silk flowers were gorgeous, photographed beautifully and gave the exact look I was going for. Something Borrowed Blooms thought of everything so that you don't have to and their customer service is amazing!”

Videographer: Honeydew Films - “captured stunning video footage for us! We were able to get a highlight film, plus edited clips of special moments throughout the day such as the first dances, speeches, and the full ceremony.

Last month we had the joy of hosting a boho themed Greensboro wedding styled shoot. The boho style began trending in the early 2000s, with influences from the 60s and 70s, and we don’t see this trend going anywhere!

What is a boho wedding?

Bohemian weddings are all about channeling effortless, elegant style. The elegance of this gown—paired with a soft, loose updo and a delicate flower crown—evokes a free-spirited nature.

Once all of the amazing vendors got together and the vision really started taking place, we were here for it! We think it turned out gorgeous and unique!! Our clients really love the fact that our space works so well for multiple styles/themes and is a perfect backdrop for any wedding decor your heart desires.

Thank you to all of the lovely vendors for putting this together:

Venue: Rev Mill Events
Models: Kaitlyn + Ryan, Sydney
Photographers: Traci Whitworth + Nichola Rae
Florals: Everything Pretty Collective
Bridal Gown: Penny and Lou Gowns

We have all experienced the effects of COVID-19 this year in different ways. There is no doubt that the impact on engaged couples has been significant! We, here at Revolution Mill Events, have been on the roller coaster alongside our clients as many of them made the tough decision to postpone their wedding to 2021.

This year has certainly kept us on our toes — we've learned a lot! We've been working hard to understand the evolving state and local orders and what it means for Greensboro, NC weddings. We continue to update our event procedures to create a safer environment for our clients, guests and employees.

As we look with optimism towards 2021, we are excited to work with all our couples who postponed as well as those who initially planned their date for 2021! While it's hard to prepare for the unknown, we know there are a few things you can do to help your wedding vision come to life. Please consider the below steps to put into action for planning your 2021 wedding during COVID.

TAKE ACTION

Is it us, or does it seem like getting things complete on the to-do list is a little harder than it used to be? We're hearing from our couples that with everything going on they haven't felt much like planning. We encourage you to take action! Ruth Soukup says, "Action is the antidote to fear. Taking focused action is the only way to get where you want to go!" Start with getting a to-do list prioritized and tackle the most critical tasks one step at a time. With each task checked off your to-do list, you’ll feel better that you’re getting things done. Don’t forget to enlist the help of your fiance, family and wedding party to prevent overwhelm.

FINISH BOOKING YOUR VENDORS

Due to so many postponed weddings plus all the couples already planning for 2021, vendors are now being booked up quicker than ever. We recommend reaching out to desired vendors to check their availability as soon as possible. We're happy to provide our couples with recommendations of high-quality local vendors.

We have always recommended hiring a wedding planner/coordinator as one of the most valuable investments you can make in your big day. Since COVID, we have seen this role become more vital than ever as a resource to listen to your concerns, manage changes, understand restrictions, communicate with vendors, review contracts and create contingency plans.

CREATE A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE WITH SPECIAL DETAILS

Think about ways to create a meaningful experience on your wedding day - these are the moments you and your guests will remember. We have experienced some wonderful moments amidst some smaller, more intimate weddings this year! One that stands out is an intimate wedding in our courtyard with close family members who then gathered around our fountain to watch the newlywed's sweet first dance.

The special details you assemble are what tells your unique love story! Gorgeous florals, specialty rentals, custom menus, accent lighting, and personalized favors create the ambiance for a memorable event.

NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR WEDDING AT THE COLONNADE

Plan to meet with us approximately 3 months out from your wedding date to start the planning process. Together, we’ll take into account the latest safety recommendations to design your custom layout, menu and service plans. There are so many ways to get creative with food and beverage service! COVID has pushed us to provide more creative ways to serve you and your guests. We have had an opportunity to provide more plated meals, attended buffets/stations, individually plated appetizers, and attended beverage stations this year. We can't wait to help you create the elements of your special day!

When Photographer Jaclyn Auletta and Meagan of Pearl & Ivy Events proposed an intimate wedding styled shoot, we were excited to collaborate! We had been in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown and were just starting to slowly re-open the venue for tours. A styled shoot, featuring the new trend of intimate weddings, was just the bright spot we needed to re-connect with other vendors and be reminded of what we love most about our stunning event space!

Meagan created an inspiration board as a starting point to share with the vendors. After some downtime, everyone was ready to jump in and use their creativity for the shoot! The couple featured could not have been more perfect! Welcome to Nelie & Matt, who… did we mention also have their own YouTube channel?! How fun is that?

Thank you to the wonderful participating vendors:

When asking our wedding couples what their top three wedding priorities are, food and drink is almost always near the top of the list. The reception fare is often what guests remember most about the wedding – whether it was tasty, plentiful, served at the right temperature and at the right time. Catering typically accounts for the largest portion of most couples' budgets, so it only makes sense they want to serve something that shines!

Together with Pepper Moon Catering, we’re ready to take on the challenge to impress your guests. Pepper Moon Catering has been offering premier, full service catering for all occasions in Greensboro, NC for over 20 years. They have been providing exclusive catering and management for Revolution Mill Events since 2015.

When planning your reception, you’ll get to work closely with Jaime, our Venue & Catering Manager. She draws upon over 15 years of event experience and has a keen eye for detail, love of logistics and providing personalized customer service. You will enjoy the seamless wedding planning experience that Revolution Mill Events provides!

While a dinner buffet continues to be a popular selection, read on for some fun food trends to consider incorporating into your wedding day. Whether you’re planning to have a casual gathering, fancy affair, or something in-between, don’t be afraid to mix things up with the latest trends, as long as the elements stay true to you ~ the happy couple. We love getting to know you, finding out your favorite foods, and working with you to create a custom menu that is charming, memorable, and deliciously satisfying!

Welcome Your Guests with a Cocktail

What better way to say, “Welcome! It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy your evening!” than to offer a drink as your guests walk in? We are obsessed with this idea recently used by one of our couples at their reception. Guests were wowed with this beautiful (and functional!) welcome display. We worked with the couple to create a signature blueberry, lavender pink lemonade, which was uniquely displayed with their escort cards. This display also makes a stunning champagne wall.

Late Night Snacks

Grilled Cheese at a wedding? Yes! We love putting a playful twist on southern comfort foods. Imagine ending a night of tearing up the dance floor with a gourmet grilled cheese made with blue cheese and bacon or goat cheese and peppadew peppers. Other ideas to satisfy your guest’s late night munchies: a soft pretzel bar, freshly popped popcorn, mac & cheese bites or burger sliders.

Interactive Food Stations

Provide a memorable opportunity for your guests to interact with their food by building their own plate or watching a Pepper Moon chef create their personal dish.

Hors d’oeuvres are spread out into multiple stations which is ideal for reducing lines and offering variety. Your guests will remember the fun interactive displays (think Mashed Potato Bar, Polenta Bar, Taco Station) and chefs preparing their dishes (think Jar-B-Q, Fired Ahi Tuna, Gyros, Fajitas with fresh Guacamole, Jap Che)!

Interactive food stations allow your guests to customize their meal to fit their preferences, which will have your guests raving about the food at your wedding.

Cocktail Hour Hors D'oeuvres

Cocktail hour is the perfect time to let your personality shine through the food!

Passed hors d'oeuvres — This is an elegant way to provide bite sized hors d'oeuvres to your guests during cocktail hour. Servers will tray pass the goodies as your guests mix and mingle throughout the space. Pepper Moon Catering offers many options including the popular Pumpkin Curry Empanada, Sundried Tomato Biscuits with housemade Pimento Cheese, Caprese Skewers, Marinara Meatball in a Spaghetti Nest and Bacon wrapped Sweet Potato.

Displayed hors d'oeuvres — Wow your guests with displays of mouth watering hors d'oeuvres such as Imported and Domestic Cheeses, a trio of Dips, Fresh Fruit with brandied custard dipping sauce or Grilled Vegetables with sundried tomato vinaigrette. Combine several items for a plentiful grazing table!

Formal Plated Meals

We’re seeing a return to the traditional plated dinner service. This is a great option if you are going for a more formal and elegant guest experience. Typically guests are seated at an assigned table and the meal is served directly to the table by the wait staff. It is often a three course meal that includes a salad, entree, and dessert.

Everyone at the table will get their food at the same time; and you can spread out toasts and/or incorporate dances during the courses to keep your guests engaged while they enjoy their dinner.

Include a Local Favorite

We are lucky to have some amazing food businesses central to North Carolina like Krispy Kreme, Mt Olive Pickles, Cheerwine, Texas Pete, Snyder’s-Lance and Dewey’s Bakery. Try adding a bit of of flair to your day and include something local in your wedding menu. We could incorporate Krispy Kreme donuts as a late night snack or offering them as favors to your guests! We also have a fun Krispy Kreme slider bar where guests can choose their toppings for a decadent dessert.

Every year, we begin to see new trends emerge as couples look for fresh and innovative touches to make their wedding day unique. Over the past few years, some of the biggest trends we’ve noticed are geometric shapes, personalized food selections, and rustic tablescapes. 

As we move into 2019, we’re looking forward to seeing how brides reinterpret trends to fit their tastes and styles. Here’s the top 10 trends we already see emerging in the Triad: 

Brunch Weddings

A brunch wedding can offer a fresh and fun feeling, without compromising sophistication. In addition to potential cost savings, a brunch wedding offers additional flexibility for the rest of your wedding day, not to mention a lot of fun food options. Think about it -- after having an early ceremony and brunch, you and your guests will still have hours to party and celebrate! 

Greenery

From centerpieces to bouquets, we’ve seen a huge increase in brides who utilize succulents, vines, ferns, and ivy. We’re also starting to see more greenery used as a backdrop for a couple’s vows – think lush arches and walls of foliage.

NON traditional desserts

While many newlyweds still want to cut the cake, more couples are opting for alternatives to the large, traditional wedding cake. Macaroons, donuts, pies, brownie bars and cupcakes are popular options – and they all have the added bonus that they are easy to serve. Smaller desserts also allow for more flavor options, ensuring every guest will find a sweet treat they enjoy. 

Jewel Tones

Rich, moody jewel tones are back in a big way this year and not just for fall weddings. After a few years of muted and pale colors reigning, rich dark jewel tones are taking hold as 2019’s preferred palette. 

Velvet

We’ve been seeing this trend every where we turn – from velvet t-shirts and dresses to throw pillows. Now the trend is hitting the wedding scene, with couples opting for velvet table cloths and décor accents. Velvet’s rich texture is perfect for fall and winter wedding décor. 

Lavender 

We’ve seen a lot of blush over the past two years, but as 2019 approaches, we’re beginning to see a move toward dusty lavenders and purples. These muted shades of purple are versatile and can work well for any season. 

Minimalist wedding dresses 

The Meghan Markle dress trend will continue to inspire looks in 2019, with brides opting for understated frocks with clean lines. 

Neon Signs

You’ve probably started seeing the neon signs popping up on Instagram and Pinterest – they often have cute sayings in a cursive font – well, now these chic signs are working their way into the wedding scene. They’re the perfect accent for behind the head table at the reception or for a photobooth backdrop!

Venues with heritage 

Out with the barn weddings and in with the reclaimed mills and industrial spaces. In 2019, we’re expecting to see a continued increase in couples who are opting for the unique look of a reclaimed venue. Mills and industrial spaces offer the same great textures of wood and metal you would get in a barn, but with a more modern feel. You can probably guess why this is easily our favorite trend of 2019! 

Food stations

More creative dining options have been on the rise lately, and we anticipate the trend to continue into 2019. Many couples are moving away from seated dinners in favor of action or food stations. A few of Pepper Moon Catering’s most popular food stations are the mashed potato martini bar, shrimp and grits station, and carving stations. 

Leave us a comment and tell us what your favorite trends of 2018 were! What are you looking forward to seeing more of in 2019? 

Whether you’re a vendor, newly married, or in the early stages of planning your wedding, we’d love to hear what you think!
