Sometimes bigger isn't better.
Houses - Usually. Diamonds - Always. Stacks of laundry - Never.
But when it comes to your wedding, it just all depends!
The Bald Head Island Club had the very special honor of hosting the wedding reception of Kristyna and Tom this past October for a very intimate wedding of just 16! They were married at the Village Chapel which itself is such a charming and quaint space - perfect for this group.
Kristyna and Tom arrived at the Bald Head Island Club and I was quite taken back by the calm, serene easiness that seemed to encapsulate the couple. She was pure grace and elegance and he was strikingly handsome, dressed to the nines.
We set them up in our Green Room for a wonderful dinner which included our infamous cashew crusted grouper, filet mignon with cremini mushrooms and port wine, Roasted Prime Rib Au Jus, Crabmeat Stuffed Flounder and a Grilled Vegetable plate with a balsamic glaze. But dinner would not begin until each of Kristyna and Tom's guests wished them a very happy life together. The champagne toasts were definitely a highlight for the evening.
Lynn Moser provided the centerpieces for the reception as well as Kristyna's beautiful bouqet. A stunning mixture of white florals really gave the room a classic elegance. I adore Lynn's work as I'm sure you can all see why!
The cake - in a word - phenomenal. When it arrived to the club, there were oogolers galore surrounding this sweetly divine creation. It was gorgeous. And as the reception was ending, the generous mother of the bride, Eva (who i absolutely fell in love with while working on this wedding) insisted I try it. Now first let me tell you, I've never really been a big fan of cake.But after one bite of this little piece of heaven and I was converted. It was absolutely mouth-watering. I snuck a small piece to one of the girls working the event who hadn't eaten sugar in 3 months. She tried to put up a fight, but once I convinced her just to try it, she was done for. I know, I'm evil but if you're gonna cheat, cheat good! The bakery who created this masterpiece was Miel Bon Bon out of Carrboro, NC so if you're in the area, definitely make this a must-try!
But all of this would just be a mere memory if it weren't for the talented photography of my dear friend Anne McGowan. Anne has her studio on the island so I run into her quite often. But I was so happy to hear she was going to be photographing Kristyna & Tom's wedding so we could spend some more time togehter. Anne is not only amazingly gifted as a photographer, but as a friend - she is completely warm, welcoming and easy going. The moment I met her I knew I would absolutely love her!
Congratulations to you Kristyna & Tom! I hope for only happy days in your future together!
