Garden party formal ✨ Yesterday at the Westside Inn on Roanoke Island, the whole day felt like one long excuse to keep the party going! Cocktails before and after the ceremony, passed apps, signature drinks, an ice cream cart, late-night snacks, and plenty of time under a clear-top tent celebrating with their people. All of the details were so good! Something was happening at all times and nobody was in a hurry to leave!

We’re incredibly grateful to attract couples who share our taste for celebrations that feel so fun and beautifully designed. Black tie, a steady stream of signature cocktails, impeccably dressed guests in colorful fashion, and a candlelit dinner.

No long list of reception formalities. We went straight to the dance floor where the DJ and live saxophonist took over.

These are the things we love at a wedding ✨

Classic coastal blue and white at the Sanderling Resort 🤍🌊🌾

A timeless celebration with the prettiest details. Jack’s classic tux and cummerbund and Haliee’s princess ball gown with a drop waist with the sweetest detachable puff sleeves was iconic! We love an elevated beach wedding!!

And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any prettier, the sun came out for us one last time at Sanderling’s Great Hall gazebo. Exactly how a coastal wedding day should end. ✨

A beautiful day at The Chesapeake in Carova for Lauren and Ian 🤍

This one had such a classic, New England-inspired feel with gold and silver details, cut crystal, pinstripe napkins, crystal chandeliers and floral meadows on each table.

The bride and maid of honor carried the sweetest petite bouquets, and the whole design felt timeless without being overdone.



They said “I do” in the dunes with the wild horses roaming nearby, followed by classic beach portraits along the shoreline.

Just one of those Outer Banks weddings that felt so perfectly at home in Carova!

Madison and McKenzie created a celebration that made every detail feel so fun! A pastel rainbow of florals, pattern play linens and tabletop rentals, a 360° bar, a yellow cabana-striped lounge, scalloped umbrellas, and one-of-a-kind floral arrangements at every table. A literal dream ☁️

Set beneath a sailcloth tent at The First Colony Inn with a beachfront ceremony, the design spilled effortlessly from the ceremony into cocktail hour and dinner.

And then there were the brides themselves. Two stunning women, each in an incredible dress, carrying the most beautiful bouquets, with impeccable hair and makeup and so much joy between them.

These are the clients we dream about 🤍 The ones who trust the creative process and give us room to make something beautiful. We had the absolute best time leaning into the design of this wedding and photographing all of the little details. An unforgettable Outer Banks celebration. 🤍
