10.26.24 - Erika & Nick - Antrim 1844 Wedding

Erika and Nick’s beautiful fall wedding took place on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday in late October of last year at the charming Antrim 1844 Hotel!

The venue was full of history and grandeur, adorned by a lush and colorful garden landscape.

As Erika and her girls got ready in a nearby suite, Nick and his groomsmen began their preparations in the red brick mansion house on the estate.

The stunning bride was helped into her lace, tulle-layered Essence of Australia gown by her wonderful mom, and her groom suited up in a sleek tuxedo from The Black Tux.

The couple’s wedding party, although larger, was full of the most amazing people, all there to support and celebrate the pair’s union as husband and wife!

The guys and gals all went outside to take some fun pre-ceremony photos once everyone was dressed and ready to go, with the lovely Tales & Trees Photography :)

With a bow-lined aisle and pink and purple florals by the talented Twisted Vine Floral Design sprinkled throughout, Erika and Nick’s ceremony began around four thirty in the venue’s rose garden.

Not only was Nick beaming with pride and joy as he watched his beautiful bride make her grand entrance, but his dad filled the role as the couple’s officiant, making it that much more special :)

Following their ceremony, the couple snuck away to snap some glowy golden hour portraits while their guests enjoyed cocktail hour.

Before the reception began, the Fancy Fox Events team made finishing touches to the space, incorporating various hues of purples, pinks, and greens in the decor throughout to tie everything together!

After a fun entrance with their wedding party, Erika and Nick went straight into their first dance, dancing to ‘Lover’ by Taylor Swift. This wasn’t the ~only~ special dance of the evening, however.

Following a few speeches, Erika shared dances with her father, mother, and stepfather, and Nick shared a dance with his mom :) .

Erika’s dances with her mom and stepfather were a complete surprise! Neither of them knew it would be happening and it was so heartwarming to see their reactions!

After cutting their incredible vintage-inspired cake by Bing’s Bakery, they tore it up on the dance floor with their guests before concluding the night with a private dance to ‘Remember This’ by the Jonas Brothers.
