If you're dreaming of a relaxed, intimate wedding filled with personality and charm, Gracie and Sam's celebration at The Historic Dallas Jail might be all the inspiration you need. Traveling from Lexington, NC, this creative and easygoing couple brought their unique vision to life in the most beautiful way.
An Intimate Wedding with Vintage Vibes
Gracie, a bride with a love for exposed brick, crumbling plaster, and all things vintage, instantly fell in love with our historic venue. With its aged charm and character, The Historic Dallas Jail was the perfect backdrop for the warm, romantic atmosphere she envisioned.
And she didn’t stop there—Gracie hand-thrifted and created all of the floral arrangements herself. From the ceremony to the reception tables, every bloom and stem was curated with love. The result? A timeless, garden-inspired look that was 100% her style.
A Relaxed Wedding Day Timeline
Gracie and Sam might just be the most laid-back couple we've ever hosted. On the morning of their wedding, they arrived together around noon, shared a casual lunch, and took the day one sweet moment at a time. Gracie got ready with her siblings while Sam hung out upstairs, waiting for their first look across the street at the gazebo.
Their private moment before the ceremony was full of joy and quiet excitement—a perfect start to the celebration.
A Small Wedding Full of Heart
With just 30 of their closest family and friends, Gracie and Sam said "I do" in an intimate ceremony before enjoying a delicious BBQ dinner together. The evening was heartfelt and simple, exactly what they wanted. They ended the night with a romantic flower petal toss exit and drove off into the night in Sam’s car.
