An Edinburgh West wedding in Greenville, South Carolina like Paige and Nick’s is the kind that feels inevitable in the best way. This was not a whirlwind romance or a fast-moving engagement. This was a relationship built slowly, intentionally, and over more than a decade, finally landing exactly where it was always headed.
A Love Story That Started Early
Paige and Nick met in grade school. They rode the same bus, lived close enough to wait at the same stop, and spent middle school mornings throwing gumball tree seeds at each other while waiting to be picked up. By high school, they were close friends. Paige admits she was openly flirting. Nick admits he missed every hint.
Eventually, a movie date happened. They saw The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and talked through most of it. A few weeks later, on July 24, 2012, Nick officially asked Paige to be his girlfriend. From that point on, they were rarely apart.
They dated through high school, attended colleges about two hours apart, and balanced demanding athletic schedules while still finding time to see each other. Summers were spent traveling and visiting national parks before life sped up again. After graduation, Paige began working as a nurse while Nick took a job that required moving to a new state every six months. Two years of long distance followed, and they stayed steady through it all. Nick finally proposed in Hawaii after nearly nine years together!
Why They Chose Edinburgh West
Paige and Nick chose Edinburgh West for one main reason: the glass conservatory. The fully enclosed space is surrounded by greenery and filled with natural light from every direction. It offered exactly what they wanted without needing additional rooms or transitions. Because they loved it so much, they hosted both their ceremony and reception in the conservatory.
This Edinburgh West wedding in Greenville, SC carried extra meaning. Hurricane Helene had just passed through, and for a short time, they were unsure if the wedding would happen at all. The venue was fortunate to experience minimal damage, and they were able to move forward as planned, something many couples that weekend could not. That reality shaped the tone of the day in a quiet but powerful way.

Black Tie, Kept Simple
The dress code was black tie and intentionally uncomplicated. Black dresses for the wedding party, a classic tux for Nick, and a strict black and white palette throughout. The goal was not to follow trends, but to create something clean and lasting. Black works. Everyone looks sharp in it, and it allowed the focus to stay on the people, not the styling.
Paige’s dress stood out because of how well it supported the day. It flowed easily, allowed her to move comfortably, and never felt restrictive. She could walk quickly, hug freely, and stay present without adjusting or worrying about it. The dress complemented her instead of competing with her.
The Pace of the Day
October delivered clear skies and steady sunlight. The temperature was comfortable, and the energy stayed relaxed from start to finish. Paige’s mom played a central role throughout planning and on the wedding day itself. Her support meant so much that Paige dedicated her bouquet to her, a moment that felt personal rather than performative.
Their first kiss after the ceremony carried weight simply because of how long it had taken to arrive. The first dance was practiced and intentional. They put in the work ahead of time, and it showed!
This Edinburgh West wedding in Greenville felt steady and unhurried. Nothing needed to be forced.
My Role in Their Wedding Day
Paige and Nick met me at a bridal show, and we connected immediately. They were drawn to my editorial approach and the way I structure wedding days. I always arrive early. That extra time matters. It creates space so couples are not constantly being pulled away. It allows moments to unfold naturally rather than being rushed through a schedule.
If you’re planning your own wedding, this approach is something I talk about more in detail on my website you can check out! Send me a inquiry to set up a time to chat!
