It’s hard to beat a Southern celebration in itself but with a property this beautiful, this one takes the cake. Add in this menu that makes me melt and I’m downright envious of this wedding planned by Events By La Fete. The Bride’s smile radiates in every pic by Amanda and Brent Holloman of Millie Holloman Photography and there’s plenty more where that came from in our Vault – right this way!
From the Bride… The crystal coast is an incredibly meaningful place to us. Four years ago we met there, two and half years ago we were engaged there and on October 11, 2014, a stunningly beautiful day, we were married there in Beaufort, NC. Our wedding took place on a private, family owned property on the intracoastal waterway. We both have a deep love for the outdoors so having an outdoor wedding was important to us from the start. Two beautiful white tents, natural wood tables, white linen furniture, chandeliers and flowers galore, helped us create an elegant, yet laid back, feel for our friends and family to celebrate. An old boating warehouse on the property where we draped the old walls and entry ways with soft flowing white fabric provided a whimsical and sophisticated space for long wood tables decorated with simple centerpieces of greenery and dimly lit candles to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Our band, Black and Blue experience was exactly what we had hoped for, fun, fun, fun! Not a dull moment or an empty dance floor. To top it off our food was out of this world. Our mutual love for food is something that we have had in common from day one. We had station after station of our most favorites! Cocktail hour began with a boat full (literally an old boat) of the best oysters on the half shell, passed hors d’oeuvres of ahi tuna tacos, smoked pork tenderloin bites with sweet potato butter and onion jam and beef carpaccio and arugula roll ups with minted mustard – wowing our guests! As if it couldn’t get any better, we had a gourmet mac & cheese bar, Asian bar with thai asian noodles in mini Chinese to go boxes, a stunning rustic antipasto bar, and much more. Our cake was custom designed tiramisu with butter cream frosting…to die for. We rounded out the evening with passed pimento cheese bites, pork belly po’ boys and a runway full of sparklers…truly the wedding of our dreams.
