A Glimpse of a February Wedding at Mercury Hall

February is a wonderful time to get married, especially at Mercury Hall. The weather is cool, the foliage turns a deep green, and the night is still long, which means more time to dance! Most of our property is Evergreens so the foilage stays a deep green year round (think Live Oak trees + bamboo mainly). In the late Fall we plant winter rye grass so the lawn is green as well. Dive into these fantastic photos of Kate & CJ captured by the ever wonderful Mint Photography.

Edgy + Chic Wedding at Mercury Hall

Lauren and Stephen's wedding was one for the books. While they embraced some of the more traditional hallmarks of a wedding, they also added in their own glam pop-rock twist. She wore a black denim jacket and sparkly shoes, for goodness sakes. We've said it before but it's always a delight when the personalities of the couple shines through in their details of the day.

Sophisticated and Stylish Wedding at Mercury Hall

Karah + Austin's summer wedding was thoughtfully stylish from start to finish. They had a ceremony arbor donned with florals, lounge areas to die for, and statement greenery that speaks for itself. Not to mention the cute couple they are -- and their little dog, too! While all of these decorative touches aren't necessary, they add to the overall experience for your guests. They don't NEED a cute lounge area to sip their drink at, but they will thank you when their weary-heeled feet get a break. Check out all the beautiful photos below from Luxe Photography:
