Perry and Ryan’s August 2025 wedding at The Bradford in North Carolina was a beautiful expression of modern Southern luxury—elegant, intentional, and layered with bespoke details that elevated every moment of the day. Thoughtfully planned and designed by Sage with the Gathering Co, the celebration felt seamless, refined, and deeply personal from start to finish.
It remains one of our favorite weddings from last year and a true reflection of what’s possible when intentional design meets an exceptional venue.
The Bradford: A Luxury Wedding Venue in North Carolina
Set in North Carolina, The Bradford offers timeless architecture, manicured grounds, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow—making it an ideal backdrop for elevated weddings. Each space transitioned naturally from ceremony to reception, creating a cohesive and welcoming guest experience.
A Sage Green & White Wedding Design
The couple’s sage green and white palette felt fresh, timeless, and perfectly suited for a late-summer celebration. Soft green hues paired with crisp whites created a serene, elevated atmosphere throughout the day.
Lush florals by Brushed By Bec were artfully integrated to enhance the venue’s natural beauty. At the ceremony, floral pedestals at the altar added height and structure, beautifully framing Perry and Ryan as they exchanged vows.
Thoughtful Wedding Details with Intention
Every design element was created to feel layered, tactile, and refined—enhancing the overall experience while remaining timeless. Some of our favorite custom pieces included:
- A layered seating chart displayed on the patio
- Custom place cards and marble table numbers
- A tailored linen bar sign
- A refined welcome sign
- Statement floral pedestals at the altar
Each detail worked together to create a cohesive and memorable design story.
