Every so often, a wedding comes along that feels like it stepped right out of a storybook—if that storybook had a Publix cake, table decor made of peaches and oranges, and a dance floor full of people who really committed.

Rachel and Cody’s April wedding at Market Hall in Downtown Raleigh was sweet, stylish, and bursting with personality. From the vibrant floral arrangements to the citrus-studded centerpieces (yes, actual fruit), their big day was a beautiful celebration of love, laughter, and really good frosting.

Love in Bloom: April in Raleigh

Spring in Raleigh is the kind of romantic that writes its own vows—flowers everywhere, that perfect 70-degree breeze, and a sky so blue it looked like it was painted just for them. Market Hall, right in the center of Downtown Raleigh, was the dreamiest venue choice, offering historic charm with modern flair. Exposed brick? Check. Romantic lighting? Check. Space for grandma to show off her line-dancing skills? Absolutely.

The Sweetest Details: Peaches, Oranges & Pure Joy

Rachel and Cody didn’t just plan a wedding—they curated a vibe. Their tablescapes looked like something you’d find in a chic Italian countryside shoot, only better—because they were real, vibrant, and smelled faintly of fresh citrus. The floral arrangements were a soft blend of blush, coral, and peach tones, accented by whole peaches and bright oranges nestled artfully among the blooms.
