A Love Story in Bloom | A Wedding at Splendor Valley Events

I had the pleasure of capturing Kiley and Jacob’s Blue Ridge Mountain wedding. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Kiley and Jacob’s wedding at Splendor Valley Events was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by lush greenery and the love of family and friends, their special day was filled with heartfelt moments, stunning details, and unforgettable memories. Their wedding showcased timeless elegance and personal touches that made it uniquely theirs.

The Love Story

Kiley and Jacob’s journey began in high school when they first exchanged greetings in class back in 2020. A year later, Jacob reached out, and their first dinner date at Chick-fil-A felt like they had known each other forever. After talking for hours that night, they both knew they had something special. Their love story officially began on May 13, 2021, all because of a simple selfie, and two years later, on May 6, 2023, Jacob got down on one knee and proposed during a private photoshoot arranged for their anniversary.

The Wedding Details

From the moment guests arrived at Splendor Valley Events, they were greeted with breathtaking mountain views and romantic décor. The couple’s vision came to life with the help of their talented wedding planner, Lisa West, who ensured every detail was perfect.

The Bridal Party & Attire

Kiley looked absolutely radiant in a stunning gown from Meadowbrook Bridal, complemented by flawless hair and makeup by Brandi Smith, Laura Honeycutt, and Flawless. Her bridesmaids, dressed in elegant BirdyGrey gowns, stood by her side in soft, dreamy hues. Jacob and his groomsmen looked dashing in their classic suits from Best Bride, adding a sophisticated touch to the celebration.

Floral Elegance

The Never Ending Flower Farm brought the couple’s floral vision to life with lush, romantic arrangements. Their bouquets and centerpieces featured an exquisite blend of seasonal blooms, perfectly complementing the venue’s natural beauty.

Unforgettable Moments

As the sun began to set, guests enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Bryce Conrad, followed by an indulgent dessert table featuring Nothing Bundt Cakes and Krispy Kreme treats. The couple’s DIY invitations added a personal touch to their wedding, while thoughtful favors from Etsy—lottery tickets for guests—added a fun surprise element.

Dancing the Night Away

DJ Kevin Sargent kept the dance floor alive, playing a mix of classic hits and the couple’s favorite tunes. The night was filled with laughter, love, and celebration as Kiley and Jacob danced under the stars, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Six and Twenty Films captured every heartfelt moment, ensuring that the magic of their wedding day could be cherished forever.

Beyond the beautiful details, what truly made Kiley and Jacob’s wedding unforgettable was the deep love they share. Whether hiking with their dogs, traveling to concerts, or enjoying quiet nights at home, their bond is built on making meaningful memories together. As they embark on this new journey as husband and wife, there’s no doubt their love story will continue to grow in the most beautiful ways.
