A sneak peak at our Figure 8 Island wedding...

This past weekend Samantha, Katherine and I had the pleasure of working on a wedding at Figure 8 Island in Wilmington, North Carolina that I had been planning for about 8 months or so.  The couple was absolutely adorable and so in love and everything about the day from the weather to the decor, food, music and guests, was absolutely picture perfect.

Here are a few photos for a sneak peak and what the day was like.  The black and white shot was taken by Katherine on her phone, and I think it's absolutely beautiful.  The others were taken by my phone and aren't great, but they give you a sense for the style and colors and let you see the gorgeous bride!!

Andi and Mike Tie The Knot

On Saturday, we had the great opportunity of helping coordinate the wedding "day of" for Andi Kravitz and Mike Weiss.  The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Marriott North Hills in Raleigh, where they do a spectacular job!  Thanks to Ann and Christy and all of the hard working people in the catering department there.

Shane Snider took amazing photos, as always, as you can see in the slide show below.  Blair from Reel Life Productions shot video, while the fabulous band 10 Spot got people to dance the night away.  Cupcakes from The Cupcake Shoppe in Raleigh were a huge hit, and Andi's Vera Wang gown from Alexia's Bridal in Cary was absolutely stunning.  Thank you to all of those who were involved and helped to make Andi and Mike's Big Day such a smooth and fun celebration!

Simply Eyelet

I have a beautiful bride friend who is getting married on a prairie next summer and is looking for

a simple, lovely, eyelet wedding gown.  I did some research and found this gown, among others,

but am wondering if any of you have any ideas for my friend of gown designers who've recently made an eyelet gown?  If so, please post your ideas!

XOXO
