A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Summer & Matt’s Carnival Flair Fun
Turquoise and Cherry Red is a color combo that makes me weak in the knees! Add a vintage, carnival flair and I’m hooked! And the kissing booth?! Oh man, now you’re REALLY talking! Summer and Matt’s wedding was a day full of fun, dancing, and of course – love! I’m so excited they wanted to share it with Hi-Fi because (of course) there’s a great mix that kept toes tappin’ on the dance floor.

Pretty Place! I love it up there. Such a beautiful place for weddings. What is the super cool reception venue? I love the moonpies and RC — I put moonpies in our hotel bags and we had Cheerwine at the reception! Can’t go wrong. Looks like it must have been an excellent dance party too from your playlist! Congrats!

This blog is genius. Weddings + Music = Blog Heaven. 🙂 Thanks for featuring our fun day Ashley! Kathleen-the reception venue is the Wyche Pavilion at Larkins on the River in Downtown Greenville. Once I saw it, I stopped looking. It was built in 1906 as a carriage factory and is part of the Reedy River Industrial Historical District.
