Nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hotel Domestique provided the perfect canvas for a styled wedding photo shoot that seamlessly blended old-world European charm with a breath of fresh, modern energy. The Tuscan-inspired architecture, rustic stonework, and sun-dappled courtyards transported guests to the European countryside without ever leaving South Carolina.

Charlotte-based styling studio Honey and Thyme brought the vision to life, curating a dreamy tableau that echoed the timeless elegance of Provence while nodding to current wedding trends. A ceremony altar was softly framed with draped ivory linens, artfully knotted and gathered, creating a romantic focal point that fluttered gently in the mountain breeze.

The couple’s attire adds to the elevated charm, the bridal muse wore a modern, thin strapped ceremony gown by Moriah Hughes Couture, her look accented by a wild, hand-tied bouquet of dried and fresh florals echoing the table arrangements. The groom’s tailored tux from Mens Wearhouse in a warm neutral tone brought a relaxed sophistication that felt perfectly in tune with the surroundings.

The tablescape was a masterclass in texture and tone: dried floral arrangements adding depth and an organic, timeworn beauty - the look is ethereal yet grounded. Every detail—from the textures to the thoughtful colour palette—felt like a love letter to European romance, made modern through intentional styling, natural elements, and an air of quiet luxury captured to perfection by G&M Visions Photography.
